Beta 2 Extensibility Kit Updated
If you haven’t done so already, take a look at the VSTS Beta 2 Extensibility Kit. You’ll need to register as a VSIP developer, which is free and totally worth it because the kit contains a bunch of goodies. It has everything from Team Foundation Server overview slides to documentation on various components of the system to samples on customizing check in process templates and programming against our core services. This is a great resource for those who want to customize or extend TFS. It’s also a great source of general information about the architecture and components of the system.
If you have already downloaded the kit, check it out again because we updated some of our content this Monday, May 23. The kit now includes these additional samples.
- A test tool extensibility sample on creating custom test types (Test Tool Extensibility\Extensibility Example.zip)
- A sample application that allows you to monitor a set of work items in real time for changes (Work Item Tracking\QueryMonitor.zip)
- A sample command line based interface for work items tracking that shows you how to leverage shared controls (Work Item Tracking\WIBrowser.zip)
Enjoy,
