How can I completely remove TFS Bindings

I have a solution that contains a good deal of projects,

I would like to remove the source control bindings completely, how can I do this?

Update: What I really want to do is move one solution and its projects from TFS 2005 -> 2008. Thats why I am removing the bindings, is there a better way to do this?

From stackoverflow
  • The simplest solution would be to open Visual Studio, deactivate the TFS Plugin in Tools > Options > Source control and reopen the solution you want to clean. Visual Studio will ask to remove source controls bindings

    Michael L : Also I forgot to mention, this is a VS 2008 Solution, and I think your answer only works with VS 2005.
  • File -> Source Control -> Change Source Control and then unbind and/or disconnect all projects and the solution.

    This should remove all bindings from the solution and project files. (After this you can switch the SCC provider in Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> Plug-in Selection).

    The SCC specification prescribes that all SCC providers should implement this behavior. (I only tested it for VSS, TFS and AnkhSVN)

    Michael L : this is a great answer, I would also like to add - disable your network adapter to avoid any prohblems during this operation
