Team Foundation Server (Tfs) Events

I’ve been meaning to write more about Team Foundation Server (TFS) events and notifications for some time now.  These are the hooks for being notified of, for example, checkins or workitem (bug) changes.  Now that our beta3 is out, a lot more people are testing the features.  Many customers want to enable email notification.  Some partners are looking at using them to integrate other tools.  So I’d like to write more about them in some upcoming posts.   First I’ll focus on email notifications, since that’s a mainstream feature.  Later I’ll write more on using events to integrate with other software, an advanced topic that will be of interest to a more limited audience.  Underlying both is the same event processing engine, so naturally there is considerable overlap.  Comments and questions are welcome.
