VersionControlServer.GetItem Method (String, VersionSpec)

This function is passed a string that represents a file or folder in Team Foundation Server, and returns an Item object that represents a non-deleted version of that item, but download information is not included. Without download information the function call is faster, but if you want to download files, you should use one of the overload methods that will allow you to get download information with the returned items.
