How to mark work item as resolved

Could you clarify or provide more information on your issue? Pending checkins window shows you all source control files that were checked in by you; when checking them in, you can associate one or more work items and resolve them.

"Checking in" is a source control file operation, it has nothing to do with work items.

If you simply want to edit your work item (changing its state counts as edit), you can do a query that will find that item, edit the item, and save the results.

Thanks,

If you want to resolve a work item as being fixed (or at least updated) due to the changes in a version control check-in, you can associate or resolve it from the work items channel of the pending changes toolwindow. This state change won't happen until you actually perform the check-in (and, if you have the work item open already, you'd have to refresh it) - the checkbox says "I want to associate/resolve *this* or *these* work items with this check-in; clicking CheckIn is what actually makes it happen.

If you just want to resolve a work item directly - as in, there is no particular changeset related to the work item resolution, just edit the work item (double click it in the channel, or use a query or GoTo to bring it up outside of the pending changes window), and change the state to resolved (and update any required fields).
