Check Out For Edit Dialog Box (Source Control)
Checks out solutions, projects, or individual items from source control. Checking out an item can copy the current master copy to your local machine and remove its read-only attribute. You can optionally configure the Check Out For Edit command to check out only the local version. Unless your source control package is configured to support shared checkouts, checking out an item also locks the item so that it is read-only to other users.
Dialog Box Access
In Visual Studio, select an item in Solution Explorer. On the File menu, click Source Control, then click Check Out For Edit.
Note
This dialog box is also available by right-clicking the item in Solution Explorer.
