I am using VS2010 SP1 and TFS Version 10.0.40219.417 Now what happens is that I attempt to type in a non-checked out file, and well, nothing happens. VS does not check out the file. I have to manually check out the file for check in.

It's happening with me only. On my colleague system it's working fine. I have cross checked all the settings he has done in his VS2010. Please suggest what should I do ?

You probably covered this in "I have cross checked all the settings", but I'm going to ask anyway.

From How to: Disable Automatic Checkouts

In Visual Studio, on the Tools menu, click Options.

In the Options dialog box, click Source Control, and then click Environment.

In the On Edit box, select a different option than Check out automatically. The other available options are as follows:

  • Prompt for check out
  • Prompt for exclusive checkouts
  • Do nothing

Click OK.

Do you have "Do nothing" checked?

EDIT:

If the above setting is correct the next thing I would double check is if the solution is "Online". I have lost the connection without realizing it several times, it is worth an extra check.

To check:

Right-click on the solution name at the top of the Solution Explorer and check if you have the "Go Online" option
