Facing same issue while using VS 2017 as a part of SSDT 2017. I am able to perform all source control actions and same is getting reflected in source control explorer too, but as seen in RED box, lock icon is not there in front of files.

I had this same issue, and I solved the problem by uninstalling SSDT 2017 (after first uninstalling the Integration Services Projects, Analysis Services Projects, and Reporting Services Projects extensions, which may have been overkill), and installing Visual Studio Community (free software) with only SQL Server Data Tools selected as the functional parts included, and then re-installing SSDT 2017 and selecting only Integration Services when asked which functionality I wanted it to provide. Now it works like a charm with TFS.?

Thanks Mark.
I'm not sure we can do that as it's for a business.

I know what you mean, and I was hesitant to use Community edition too, as I am working for a government entity, but after reading the license terms I was pretty sure that I was covered, at least under the conditions that I would use the software (merely to facilitate my being able to create and edit SSIS packages and store them on TFS). You may be able to use it within the bounds of the license too - check it out.

Hi Mark

I work for my local NHS Trust.
I'll dig out the licence terms (unless you have a handy link?) and have a look.

I just so happen to have a handy link, my good man! Here it is - https://www.visualstudio.com/license-terms/mlt553321/ .

Thanks Mark - I'll pass this to our licencing people and see what they say.
