Visual Studio 2008 TFS Shelve / Unshelve changes stopped working and VS hung

Hey.

This is the second time I noticed this problem with VS 2008 TS with the addition of the TFS add-on on top.

The problem is that at some point when you are actively working with Shelve / Unshelve changes from TFS, the Shelve window changes the window (when you click the "Shelve" button) the whole VS hangs and hangs.

After that, if you restart the studio, the Shelve / Unshelve window will stop working. Any attempt to open the Shelve / Unshelve window completely hangs in Studio.

Consequently, the rack becomes unusable, but I really rely on this feature.

Has anyone noticed this problem in practice? Any suggestion for fixing it? (I'm trying to reinstall VS and TFS completely right now and also clean the registry for VS)

Thank!

The issue was resolved by searching the Windows AppData folder for TFS cache entries. Removing the TFS cache (which looks like it is corrupted) helps in solving this problem.

This can happen if the TFS dialogs are displayed off-screen. If pressing Esc defrosts the visual studio, this may be your problem.
