In-plane resistance as a function of magnitude and direction of the magnetic field and the temperature has been measured for TmNi{sub 2}B{sub 2}C from above the superconducting transition temperature at 10.7 K to below the magnetic transition T{sub N} = 1.5 K. The superconducting upper critical field H{sub C2}(T) exhibits a large anisotropy and structure in the vicinity of T{sub N}. The magnetoresistance above {Tc} is large and changes sign as the direction of the magnetic field is rotated from in-plane to parallel with the c-axis.
