Where is the TeamFoundationServer SDK

Question

Hello,

I've been using TFS 2010 for some time.  I have an application that uses the TFS SDK (Microsoft.TeamFoundation.*) modules.

On my new machine where I've installed TFS 2012, it can't find any of these modules.

Where do I get the TFS SDK?  It didn't install as part of the VS 2012 Ultimate install.

Hi Bruce,

You can find these TFS related DLLs in the path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies

Thanks,

If following assemblies do not appear on the .NET tab of the References dialog box, use the Browse tab to add the assemblies from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\ReferenceAssemblies\v2.0

Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client
Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Common
Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client
Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Common
Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Proxy

Hello,

This doesn't work.

Have modules moved around between Dev Studio 2010 and 2012?  I can build just fine in 2010, but I get all kinds of errors, as mentioned, when I build with the same projects and solution with Dev Studio 2012.

Error    20    The type or namespace name 'Client' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation' (are you missing an assembly reference?)    C:\Users\bcutler\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\TfsTools\ProjectCollection.cs    7    32    TfsTools

Here are my references:

Answer 6

I'm also getting lots of these:

Warning    11    The currently targeted framework ".NETFramework,Version=v4.0,Profile=Client" does not include "System.ServiceModel.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" which the referenced assembly "Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a, processorArchitecture=MSIL" depends on. This caused the referenced assembly to not resolve. To fix this, either (1) change the targeted framework for this project, or (2) remove the referenced assembly from the project.    TfsTools

Answer 7

Hi Bruce,

You can find the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.dll and Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Discussion.Client.dll in the path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\ReferenceAssemblies\v2.0. And I think you can try first remove these references and then re-add them.

And for the warning you get, do you set the Target Framework to .NET Framework 4.0? If so, please change it to 4.5 so you can load and use these .NET 4.5 assemblies successfully.

Thanks.

Answer 8

Thanks Vicky,

I'll try this later.  I'm in the middle of another project right now, but I will soon be able to get back to this, because it will become critical again soon.
