When attempting to check in code through TFS in visual studio 2012 or 2013 sometimes results in displaying an error message "Value was either too large or too small for a UINT32" error message. What is causing this, and how can I fix this?

This seems to be a bug in the dialog. This seems to consistently happen when you try to check in code that hasn't been saved, confusing the feature to a sufficient degree to throw up its hands in the air with this error.

The solution is simple: save your files before committing them.

    Thanks for that one, it appears the same occurs for an unsaved file that is not even part of the solution... I just had to close it and everything went fine.

    You was right, I just edited my file during review and get this error. Saving helps for me.

Another possible Scenario: this happens after reverting to older file versions from TFS and then changing a file and trying to checkin.

Solution : update to latest version before checkin
