    <p>Been using TFS2010 for just a few months now so relative newbie, and now possibly need to create my first branch, unfortunately I need to create it from an older changeset, is this possible?</p> <p>Basic scenario is I converted a project from VSS 6.0, with history, and it all came over fine. Project has approx 500 source files.</p> <p>Before the conversion from VSS we started working on version 4.0 of our project, with no plans to release any more bug fixes to 3.1 so we didn't establish any branches at that time.</p> <p>So we have made significant changes to about 20 files (which I can identify), but now the client wants to release a 3.11, 3.2, 3.3 etc because not everyone will be ready to go to 4.0 product anytime soon.</p> <p>I think we want to create a branch, and then use TFS to rollback about 20 files in that branch to an older version, is this possible to do? Create a branch from where we are now, and then rollback some of the files? or does creating a branch cause you to lose history for that branch?</p> <p>Slightly complicating things is that after we started working on 4.0, besides making the 4.0 specific changes we also have several changes that we made that would need to go into both he 3.1 branch AND stay in the 4.0 branch we are working on now, and furthermore, and more bug fixes we need to put in over the next several months would need to apply to both branches.</p> <p>Perhaps this is a pretty straight-forward use case for TFS, but just wanted to make sure I don't mess up what is already working perfectly fine.</p> <p>Suggestions?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
