TFS Client object Model Question ->unable to create a task in TFS

Question

Hi All,

  I am trying to automate the process of reading data from a REST WEb service and creating a TFS task. I am using the TFS client object Model. I am trying to create a work item of type "task" but unable to save it because it requires the"Code Reviewer" Field to be set.However, I have no way of accessing it.

Here is my code : I am using VS 2010

  static void Main(string[] args)

{

                Uri collectionUri = (args.Length < 1) ?
                new Uri("http://server:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection") : new Uri(args[0]);
                TfsTeamProjectCollection tpc = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(collectionUri);
                WorkItemStore workItemStore = tpc.GetService<WorkItemStore>();

                WorkItemTypeCollection workItemTypes = workItemStore.Projects["Servicing"].WorkItemTypes;

             

                WorkItemType workItemType = workItemTypes["Task"];

               WorkItem task = new WorkItem(workItemType );

              task.Title = "Automated ";
                task.Description = "Automated ";
              
                task.Validate();
                   task.Save();

}

I am stuck here.Can somebody please help??

Hi, can you please post your question on the TFS WIT forum here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsworkitemtracking/threads? If you are trying to set non core fields in the work item you can get them and set them by doing task.Fields["Code Reviewer"]. You can read more about the WorkItem class here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.teamfoundation.workitemtracking.client.workitem.aspx.
