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 I consider myself a calm person with plenty of tolerance, I believe in productive discussion and love it – Part of my job as a consultant is to talk with Teams and explain them why you should choose a specific product over another, in 99.9% of those meetings there is one guy that don’t like the change (No One Like Changes) and you need in a calm way to explain and show him the benefits of the new tool – Forcing someone to do something is never a good thing. But sometimes there is no wining...
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 The conference was Amazing!!! I had great time in the conference with partners, customers and friends, I didn’t went to most of the lectures (Ich weiß nicht Deutsch spricht) but from the people who presented the presentation and the title there were plenty of interesting lectures.

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...
