TFS Server notification ISubscriber ProcessEvent not firing

Question

My TFS server is able to alert me over emails when I set a notification for email using team explorer, however whenI write a DLL implementing ProcessEvent function of ProcessEvent ISubscriber, the event would not fire. Any ideas.

I copied the DLL to the Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010\Application Tier\Web Services\bin\Plugins folder and it restarted the service but I do see the effect of event firing when I create a new work items or modify it.

Answer 1

I just recently built a plugin that subscribed to the WorkItemChangedEvent and had this same behavior. For me it was a problem with the instantiation and authentication of the TfsTeamProjectCollection class. It would probably help if we could see what your class does...

Answer 2

I found out the issue. Basically you can turn on the tracelog in web.config and it showed me the complete error. In my case it was the framework version.
