I have two files checked out and they are in two different projects. I want to check in these two files in one changeset. However, when I clicked the Check In button in the Pending Checkins window in VS.NET 2003. The TFS checkin dialog box only shows one file in one project. I clicked Check In, then it shows the other file. Is there a way to group these two files in one changeset?
Thanks,

Hello,
unfortunately VS2003 (and other IDEs as well) are performing checkin per SCC connection. Each project (or even part of the project - for example in web projects) has separated connection and in fact can be connected to different Team Foundation Server. Current provider is executing checkin whenever IDE wants it - the only workaround is to perform them from Team Explorer.
Hi Michal,
Thanks. I found another workaround. In the TFS checkin dialog box, if I right click the files listbox and select Refresh, it will show all the files and then I can check them in. However, after clicking Check in button, I got "Item(s) not checked out" error message. I think it's trying to check in the files in the second project but they have already been checked in.

Thanks for posting this. I was having the same problem. After getting that error message, things were checked in but the statuses in VS2003 are outdated. Then you need to go into File-->Source Control-->Refresh Status for each of the projects to get VS to see that they are now checked in.
