It’s been a while since I wrote about TFS API, not because there is no more about it is because I worked on Windows Store for the past couple of months so I didn’t had the time. More About TFS API So today post will be about two changes in TFS 2012, the first one is WorkItemControl based on WPF that replaced the WorkItemFormControl based on WinForms, the second will be about WorkItemStore bypass rule – Allowing you to save and change work item values without obeying the work item rules.

Tweet In the previous posts “ TFS API Part 45 (VS11) – Modify Teams and Team Members ” I talked about Teams, from getting all team to modify and creating new Team using TFS API. Now, Teams are more than just a “Security Group”, they hold specific settings such as relevant Areas/Iteration for that Team. The “Team” can be assigned to Backlog Iteration (Set as Team’s backlog Iteration), this takes all paths under that iteration and add them to the team backlog. You can also change the Iteration backlog...
Tweet In my previous post “ Teams and Team Members ” I talked about new Service in TFS API called – TfsTeamService. Using this service we can control Teams and Team Members under TFS. We can create and remove Teams and Team Members using TFS API. I know this can be quite confusing but Teams in TFS are simply Group (Security Group), same as Contributors, Administrators etc. If you open Security tab under TFS Web Management you can see that there is two separate lists of Groups – Teams and TFS...
Tweet TFS 11 comes with many great changes for software development, the first and super important is Teams, until TFS 11 Task work item or any other work item has to be assign to individual, means that you can’t assign a Task to a Scrum Team etc… So many people has built customize solution to handle this but no need! because TFS 11 comes with this great Feature!

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 I got this questions a lot, if this because lots of my customers working with branches and often they delete those old branches or just because someone delete a folder and you want to see its content. There are two ways to see deleted items from source control, the first is through Visual Studio and the second through TFS API. See Deleted Items In Visual Studio: First open visual studio 2010 and open source control Navigate to –> Tools –> Options –> Source Control –> Visual Studio...
