copied!<p>As has already been stated, you're going to be looking at using a work-around.</p> <p>You could look at using MSBuild to do this, so it's part of your build process. To access TFS, you can either shell out to TF.EXE, or use the <a href="http://www.codeplex.com/MSBuildExtensionPack" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MSBuildExtensionPack</a> (see <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/224460/checkout-from-tfs-with-msbuild">this question also</a>).</p> <p>Hopefully you have a single project within your solution that is dependant on the content that is elsewhere in your source code, so you have an obvious location to put your MSBuild custom code.</p> <p>I'd envisage the MSBuild code would:</p> <ol> <li>Get the applicable content, overwriting existing content.</li> <li>Remove source control bindings - <a href="http://www.wintellect.com/cs/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2006/12/26/working-offline-with-tfs.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this blog post</a> looks like it might have pointers.</li> </ol> <p>It isn't beautiful, but it's unlikely you'll find a beautiful solution in the absence of import. This approach has the advantage that putting your customisation within a .csproj means that you don't need any kind of custom build process to ensure the content is updated. It'll simply happen everytime the project you use is built.</p> <p>If you know people building your script will have the content you want to import checked out in a predictable location relative to the solution being built, you could simply copy from that location, instead of using TF get.</p>
