Listing the process templates on a TFS server
In response to a forum question about how to list the process templates on the server, Tony Edwards, a developer on Work Item Tracking, posted the following code snippet showing how to do it. The TeamFoundationServer object provides a number of services, including one for dealing with process templates.
Here is a simple console program to list the templates. IProcessTemplate has members that return XML - you could bind that to the grid. You would invoke the sample below as follows:
templateheaders http://<your_server>:8080
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Server;
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client;
namespace TemplateHeaders
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
TeamFoundationServer tfs = new TeamFoundationServer(args[0]);
IProcessTemplates templates =
(IProcessTemplates) tfs.GetService(typeof(IProcessTemplates));
TemplateHeader [] headers = templates.TemplateHeaders();
foreach (TemplateHeader header in headers)
{
Console.WriteLine(header.Name);
}
}
}
}
If you haven't built a code sample before, you can find instructions on adding the TFS assemblies to the .NET tab in VS here.
