TfsTeamProjectCollection

Question

I m using TfsTeamProjectCollection class.

TfsTeamProjectCollection tfs = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(new Uri("TeamProjectCollectionURL"));

But. It would produce a compile error like this "The type or namespace name 'TfsTeamProjectCollection' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)".

Although, I referenced "Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client" dll  in my project.

Also, I checked this class is available or not in Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client it was missed. (I confused.)

 

Anybody help me what should I do.

 

Thanks,

    Anand

 

Answer 1

Do you have a using statement for the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client namespace?  Where are you getting the dll from for your reference?  What version of VS are you using?

Hello Anand,

Thanks for your post.

What version of TFS are you using? TFS2008 or TFS2010?

If you are using TFS2010, you should install VS2010 team explorer to have the appropriate version TFS2010 SDK. You can download the VS2010 Team Explorer here:

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=329

And you can get the Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.Client.dll in the path: <diver>:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft\Visual Studio 10.0\Common 7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies.

If you are using TFS2008, I am sorry there is no team project collection concept in the TFS2008. So instead of using

TfsTeamProjectCollection tfs = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(new Uri("TeamProjectCollectionURL"))

to connect to TFS2008, you should use

TeamFoundationServer tfs = TeamFoundationServerFactory.GetServer("Your Server Name");

Thanks.
