I recently needed to test a new checkin policy that I wrote. In order to do that, I needed to enable a checkin policy for the unit test’s team project using the version control API. I was a little surprised when it wasn’t quite as obvious as I had hoped, and I had to poke around in the source to figure it out. So, I thought I’d post the code snippet.<\/p>\n
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.TeamFoundation.Client;
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client;<\/p>\n
TeamFoundationServer tfs = new TeamFoundationServer(http:\/\/yourserver:8080);
VersionControlServer vcs = (VersionControlServer) tfs.GetService(typeof(VersionControlServer));<\/p>\n
