Re: offline mode. I've had to deal with this a few times. I make a brief mention of it in my article but gloss over the details because I wanted to get on to more important topics. In general, offline mode has been a terrible experience for me. It is handled differently in different versions of TFS. In one version (2008?), you go to File -> Offline Mode. In another, you need to either reopen the solution and get prompted project by project to Temporarily Work Offline or unbind TFS manually. In both solutions, I've had difficulty reconnecting to TFS. In a complex set of steps that were probably "dumb" but seemed like my only options, I have lost changes made on my local file system. My experience may vary from others, granted. Though, after talking to some colleagues about their experience, mine has been easy.
