Can I copy(grab a copy) of the files of an ChangeSet in TFS 2012?

I need to manually deploy some files to server. Is there is a quick way to get the copies of the files of an ChangeSet in TFS 2012?

You can use the getcs command from the tfpt power tool. This will get only the files that were included in a changeset.

This will allow you to, for example:

tfpt getcs /changeset:C1999

Is this will copy all change-set file, so that i can put in a folder? – Imran Qadir Baksh - Baloch May 01 '13 at 15:30

@user960567: This will do a get of all the files that were modified as part of the changeset. It will not get the respository as of the changeset, for that you would just do a `tf get`. You can then put it in a folder. – Edward Thomson May 01 '13 at 15:43
I used this command to get a list of all the files in several change sets and then used a text editor to massage the header info in each file down to jujst the file path. Then presto... I now have a list of the changed files, which I'll use to go through and apply a label. – sugardaddy Apr 20 '15 at 20:37

When I had this problem, I wanted to put the files "somewhere else" other than the workspace directory. The solution I found was in SO, of course:

TFS Get Specific Version into separate folder

Go to Start and write "Developer powershell"
Start the application
Navigate to a folder within your workspace (cd %path%)
Define a list of changesets for example:

$myArray = 1028474,1028480,1028491
Enter the following and press enter to execute:

foreach ($element in $myArray) { tfpt getcs /changeset:$element}
