I acknoledge the beta 3 refresh sample does not work with the RC version of TFS, because of a BuildProxyUtilities refactoring. This class was used to retrieve BuildController with the GetBuildControllerProxy, which is no longer avalaible.

I really nead an update of the sample and waiting for it since last week. Do you have a short sample handling BuildController with RC version of TFS, to ahead without an update of the sample.

Arnaud,

Due to the release cycle for MSDN Magazine, the article was published as of Beta 3. I'll post some new revised samples soon that represent the scanario in the article. Until then, you should be able to get to the BuildController like below:

localhost.BuildController bc = new localhost.BuildController();
bc.Url = "http://localhost:8080/TeamBuild/BuildController.asmx";
bc.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
localhost.BuildStartParams params = new localhost.BuildStartParams();
bc.StartBuild(params);

Any progress on this yet? The proposed workaround listed above does not work because there is no default constructor for BuildController. The same issue exists for BuildStore. Is there any documentation available on any of the Team Foundation assemblies?
