Tweet I did some cool things lately with TFS Lab Management API, from connecting it to TFS Web Access and allow REST access to the lab (if you want to ask why – The customer is always right ). So this part of TFS API will deal with Lab Management API, although Lab Management API is not public I’ll show some cool things you can do but this will be under your own risk. Again, this is just the beginning of the Lab Management API, so let’s get started Download Demo Project Step 1: Located “ Microsoft...

Tweet First, what is the Build Service Host or IBuildServiceHost ? The BuildServiceHost object represent the physical location of the Controller and/or Agent objects. The name property is usually the machine name that the Controller or Agent lives on. In earlier versions, this was simply the Machine Name property on the Agent. Now, I’m working with a customer works with Lab Manager and after upgrading the SCVVM and perform some port changes we faced an issue – The Build Service Host stuck in your...
Tweet A long time ago I wrote about SharePoint 2007 Files Restore Tool , tool that allows you to connect to SharePoint content database (not need to have SharePoint installation) and extract documents. The reason I wrote this tool was a customer that upgrade TFS and perform a new installation of SharePoint so he lost all his documents, this tool helped me to extract all documents and added them to the new SharePoint site. SharePoint upgrade/migration can be unpleasant and sometimes I prefer to do...

So, to solve this problem I built a tiny little tool to help you accomplish this task. This tool contains 4 steps: Getting Started: 1. Connection Connect to TFS, pick...
Code Metrics From The Command Line - Power Tools In my last post I’ve talked about What is Code Metrics in Visual Studio, and how Code Metrics will allow you to monitor you code to find those un-maintainable and complex hotspots “Microsoft just release a command line because many customers are looking for a way to generate code metrics information as part of their build process. In this way, the complexity associated with assemblies coming out of your nightly builds could potentially be tracked and...

TFS API Part 29 – TFS Impersonation What is TFS Impersonation? TFS Impersonation is a feature that was introduced in TFS 2010 in order to allow a process running as User A to make web service calls to TFS in such a way that TFS thinks the actions are being performed by User B. A long time ago I wrote about Access Token With C# , a method that will allow you to perform actions with a different user. Why? when writing Tools and services for customers one of the most important features is to perform...
TFS API Part 28 -Test Suite Hierarchy Builder In my previous post regarding TFS API TFS API Part 27 – Test Plans, Test Suites, Test Cases Mapping , I showed how to create and obtain Test Plans, Test Suite and Test Cases objects.
