title: Visual Studio checkout from TFS
body: <p>This question is about Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server ( TFS ). Im a novice with TFS and got a bit confused over a thing.</p>
  
  <p>If I have connected to a TFS-project through VS and have all the code in VS. If I start editing a file I see a message like "foo.cs has been automatically checked out for editing." Does other people in the project see that? I just want to test things locally and dont want to affect other people in the project.</p>
  
  <p>I am also a bit confused about that it says that is " has been automatically checked out for editing". I mean I already see the code in VS so I thought I had already checked it out.</p>
  
  <p>I am used to work with SVN and haven't really worked with TFS before but in SVN you have to check out the code to be able to see it in your IDE of choice.</p>
