I have been given a task to use the TFS API in order to check which build has which changeset number, after deployment. I haven't worked with TFS before, so mainly I've been trying to Google things, to find the answer. I've been at it for 2 days now, so I'm hoping someone can nudge me in the right direction...
Here is what I have done so far:
Uri collectionUri = new Uri("mytfs/tfs/");
var server = TfsConfigurationServerFactory.GetConfigurationServer(collectionUri);
server.Authenticate();
server.EnsureAuthenticated();
var service = server.GetService<TswaClientHyperlinkService>();
var projectCollection = TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.GetTeamProjectCollection(new Uri("mytfs/tfs/collection"));
var cssService = projectCollection.GetService<ICommonStructureService3>();
var project = cssService.GetProjectFromName("project");
WorkItemStore workItemStore = projectCollection.GetService<WorkItemStore>();
WorkItemCollection workItemCollection = workItemStore.Query("SELECT * FROM WorkItems");
So in the workItemCollection object, I tried a few queries, but it seems it doesn't allow me to change database, use joins etc. just a simple select/from statement.
Am I on the right track - is this how I should be getting build and changeset number?? If yes, where can I see what tables I need to query?
The problem here is that you're thinking of this as a database. It's not a database. It's an object model that allows you to programmatically access various aspects of TFS through a well-defined API.
Work item queries are not SQL, they are WIQL (work item query language). The work item object will definitely have a link to the associated changeset, but it won't have a link to a build. Some work item types have a field for "fixed in" that will be automatically updated with the build, but not all of them, so it's not necessarily reliable.
To find particular builds, you'll need to use the IBuildServer service and search for a build spec.

First of, I am completely new to octopus client, used it for the first time just before posting this.
So, I've been landed with this project to update the version number on a webpage monitoring some of our octopus deployed projects. I have been looking around the octopus client and not really gotten anywhere. The best I have so far is:
OctopusServerEndpoint endPoint = new OctopusServerEndpoint(server, apiKey);
OctopusRepository repo = new OctopusRepository(endPoint);
var releases = repo.Releases.FindAll();
From these releases I can get the ProjectId and even the Version, the issue is that releases is 600 strong and I am only looking for 15 of them.
The existing code I have to work from used to parse the version from local files so that is all out the window. Also, the existing code only deals with the actual names of the projects, like "AWOBridge", not their ProjectId, which is "Projects-27".
Right now my only option is to manually write up a keyList or map to correlate the names I have with the IDs in the octopus client, which I of course rather not since it is not very extendable or good code practice in my opinion.
So if anyone has any idea on how to use the names directly with octopus client and get the version number from that I would very much appriciate it.
I'll be getting down into octopus client while waiting. Let's see if I beat you to it!
Guess I beat you to it!
I'll just leave an answer here if anyone ever has the same problem.
I ended up using the dashboardto get what I needed:
OctopusServerEndpoint endPoint = new OctopusServerEndpoint(server, apiKey);
OctopusRepository repo = new OctopusRepository(endPoint);
DashboardResource dash = repo.Dashboards.GetDashboard();
List<DashboardItemResource> items = dash.Items;
DashboardItemResource item = new DashboardItemResource();
List<DashboardProjectResource> projs = dash.Projects;
var projID = projs.Find(x => x.Name == projectName).Id;
item = items.Find(x => x.ProjectId == projID && x.IsCurrent == true);
The dashboard is great since it contains all the info that the web dashboard shows. So you can use Project, Release, Deployment and Environment with all the information they contain.
Hope this helps someone in the future!
I'm using LINQPad to run C# snippets for Octopus automation using the Octopus Client library and I have come up with following to get any version of a project making use of Regular expression pattern. It works quite well if you use Pre-release semantic versioning.
For example to get latest release for a project:
var project = Repo.Projects.FindByName("MyProjectName");
var release = GetReleaseForProject(project);
To get specific release use that has 'rc1' in the version for example (also useful if you use source code branch name in the version published to Octopus:
var release = GetReleaseForProject(project, "rc1");
public ReleaseResource GetReleaseForProject(ProjectResource project, string versionPattern = "")
{
// create compiled regex expression to use for search
var regex = new Regex(versionPattern, RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.CultureInvariant | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
var releases = Repo.Projects.GetReleases(project);
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(versionPattern) && !releases.Items.Any(r => regex.IsMatch(r.Version)))
{
return null;
}
return (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(versionPattern)) ? releases.Items.Where(r => regex.IsMatch(r.Version))?.First() : releases.Items?.First();;
}
I am working on a solution where I want to get parameters from a Builddefinition per Code. When I hit it, I get an error message "No build definition was found for
team project ToyStory with name Spass-mit-Flaggen."
The used code is written below:
var tfsCreds = new TfsClientCredentials(new WindowsCredential(), false);
var tpc = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(new Uri(options.CollectionUri), tfsCreds);
var buildServer = (IBuildServer)tpc.GetService(typeof(IBuildServer));
var buildDetail = buildServer.GetBuild(new Uri(options.BuildUri));
var buildDefinition = buildServer.GetBuildDefinition(
buildDetail.TeamProject,
options.BuildDefinition);
The options object contains all program parameters. In this case they are the following strings:
options.CollectionUri == "http://tfs-test:8080/tfs/Test/"
options.BuildUri == "vstfs:///Build/Build/85"
options.BuildDefiniton == "Spass-mit-Flaggen"
Has someone an idea what's going wrong here?
Thanks in advance
You're using the old SOAP API for accessing builds. The new build system introduced in TFS 2015 doesn't use SOAP messaging, it has a totally separate REST API. You'll need to use the REST API, available in easily-consumable object model form on NuGet.
How can i get the following information after a git-pull with libgit2sharp:
Which files has been moved
Which files has been created
Which files has been deleted
The git-pull request it self works perfectly:
var result = repo.Network.Pull(new LibGit2Sharp.Signature("admin", "mail#......net", new DateTimeOffset(DateTime.Now)), options);
I already looked at the result of the Pull-Method, but this seems not to contain the needed information.
Thank you very much!
The MergeResult type exposes a Commit property which is not null when the merge was successful.
In order to find out what files have changed, one just have to leverage the repo.Diff.Compare() method to compare this Commit with its first parent.
I'm new to extending Visual Studio and I'm trying to find way to find which source control system is used by current solution.
I created VsPackage project and I am able to obtain reference to solution via IVsSolution and to hook up to solution events via IVsSolutionEvents.
Inside OnAfterSolutionOpen (or possibly some other if there's an alternative) I would like to act differently basing on whether the solution uses TFS or Git or something else. How can I obtain this information?
I plan to support as many Visual Studio versions as possible, but if it isn't possible I would like to support at least VS2012 and higher.
Ok, after several hours of digging I've found a solution to this. Thanks to the article of Mark Rendle and the source code for his NoGit extension I've found, that the list of registered source control plugins is located in registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0_Config\SourceControlProviders (in case of VS 2013).
So now, we can have both plugin guid, and the name of the provider. This sample code can fetch those values:
var key = #"Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\" + "12.0" + #"_Config\SourceControlProviders";
var subkey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(key);
var providerNames = subkey.GetSubKeyNames().Dump();
var dict = new Dictionary<Guid, String>();
foreach (var provGuidString in subkey.GetSubKeyNames())
{
var provName = (string)subkey.OpenSubKey(provGuidString).GetValue("");
dict.Add(Guid.Parse(provGuidString), provName);
}
Now, there are two ways I've found to obtain guid of currently active provider.
important update: Apparently the second way of obtaining currently active plugin does not work as expected. I strongly advise using first solution.
This is the way that bases on the extension mentioned earlier:
var getProvider = GetService(typeof(IVsRegisterScciProvider)) as IVsGetScciProviderInterface;
Guid pGuid;
getProvider.GetSourceControlProviderID(out pGuid);
Or we can just go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\CurrentSourceControlProvider and get the default value of this key:
var key2 = #"Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\CurrentSourceControlProvider";
var guidString = (string)Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(key2).GetValue("");
var currentGuid = Guid.Parse(guidString);
Now we just take var activeProviderName = dict[currentGuid]; and that's all.
i am building a csharp application and i would like a dropdown list of all users in my outlook global address book (the same one when i click on To: from outlook gui. is this possible to get this progrmaticall? what are the security requirements here?
Security ramifications, in addition to the Outlook dependency left me unable to use this approach, in the past. As a result, I ended up building this in the form of an LDAP query. Another plus is that, (in response to your other question) you will be able to extract contact information because this information is stored in the Active Directory.
DISCLAIMER: It has been almost five years since I have looked at this code, so I'm afraid I no longer fully understand the query. Hopefully it's enough to get you started, however.

foreach (SearchResult adObject in adSearcher.FindAll())
{
Console.WriteLine("CN={0}, Path={1}", adObject.Properties["CN"][0], adObject.Path);
