The access to the path bin\ is forbidden exception while building - Visual Studio 2008 and TFS

I had this strange error yesterday and it took me some time to understand what is going on.
It appeared that the bin folder of the main project is under source control, so TFS was locking the folder, the subfolders and the files.
In order to resolve it - checkout the bin folder in Visual Studio and then build.
The build should be OK.
Then you can Undo Changes on the folder and everything should work as it was before.

Hope this helps someone ...

Nice TFS Query

I needed to find all my tasks I had closed, but I hadn't added time input for. I was thinking how can I sort all my TFS tasks to achieve this and it appeared to be very strightforward. Here is what you should do: In other words you are saying : "Give me all the work where the completed work is 0 hours, the state is closed and it is assigned to me." After you save and give a name to your TFS query, you will find it under the "My Queries" node in your Team Explorer window:
