TFS Get Specific Version into separate folder

Question

I'm currently working on a project with TFS source control. We've just gotten in a bug report for an older version of the code, and I need to pull down that version of code to test it out. My first thought would be to "Get Specific Version" to pull down the code, but I'd rather not get that version into my current workspace directory.

Is there an easy way to "Get Specific Version" into a separate (e.g. temporary/throw-away folder), so I can quickly look into this bug in the older version of code, and not disturb my current work?

Answer 1

I just found one easy way to do this: Create a new Workspace in TFS pointing to a separate folder, then switchover to this new workspace and do a Get Specific Version here.

Makes sense now, I just hadn't ever tried that.
