I can't get the source code to run as it stands, because there is no AfterUpdateDatasource event in the IWorkItemControl interface. I'm going to take this out, but I'm wondering why it's there? Do I have the correct version of Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Controls.dll (8.0.50727.147)?

[NarenD] The dll you have is RTM version and SP1 beta setup should have updated the dll. May be it is setup issue? Can you try reinstall and box restart just to be sure?

re: How to use Custom Controls in Work Item Form

Aquilegia — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 01:20:02 GMT

Naren, have reinstalled and restarted box. I can see that KB918525 is in my currently installed programs list, but I still have the version of the control as mentioned before. I have a test control ready to go, but of course I cannot import it. Any ideas? I may have to try uninstalling the SP and downloading it again :-(

[Naren] Actually it is hard to discuss these issues as comments & replies, so could you post this in our forums http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=479&SiteID=1? I'll forward that post to setup guys to see if there is possible bug. I saw a post where someone was successful using this feature, so am not sure if the setup issue is machine specific.

Naren, great post! I was wondering if you could provide a snippet for adding a built-in control (such as a DateTimePicker control)?

[Naren] It is same like other controls you see in wit xml. Example is below. Can you post such questions in our forums instead because it is hard to answer questions raised in comments?

re: How to use Custom Controls in Work Item Form

kirkv — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 21:43:29 GMT

Regarding my previous comment... I'm wondering if the built-in control can be referenced directly from the WIT definition, or if I have to first wrap it in a custom control as you describe in this post? thx.

Jung, workitem object itelf is passed to custom control in WorkItemDataSource property, so any field can be accessed directly from workitem. For further questions on this, pls post your question in forums

Jeff Levinson — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 19:58:19 GMT

Just as an FYI, the .wicc file is not <ControlName>.wicc it's <AssemblyName>.wicc where AssemblyName is the name of the assembly that contains the control.

Also, I still haven't been able to get this to work, and I've posted to the forums asking for help. I just thought I would point this out.

We are going to develop a listbox custom control to support multi-select functionality. Before that, we want to make sure that there is no such control out there in the market and Microsoft has no plan of adding this control to the next version of TFS. Can anyone help us? Thanks in advance.

This is answer to Ryan's question above. Yes, we do not have plans to release a multiselect control (may be in a codeplex project). How soon do you need it? Please ask future questions/comments in forums or send email using link at top right.
