Couple of days ago Brian Harry post about the new release of Update 2 for Visual Studio and TFS 2012, and today another release of Update 3 that isn’t big a Update 1 and 2 but contains a set of bug fixes that can ease you work. Before jumping to Update 3, if for some reason you’re not using Update 2 this is the time to read about it and install it!

אחד השינויים ב – TFS 11 מאפשר לנו להגדיר קבוצות פיתוח והגדרה של סבבי פיתוח עם תאריך התחלה וסיום (Sprint, Iteration וכו). כאשר מתחילים לתכנן סבב פיתוח נראה חישוב של סה”כ ימי העבודה בסבב הנוכחי, אך סה”כ הימים לא יסתדר לכם כי הוא מחשב שיום ראשון אינו יום עבודה. זאת שאלה שאני מקבל מהרבה לקוחות – איך אני משנה את תצוגת ה – Backlog שתתאים לימי המנוחה בארץ (שישי ושבת ולא שבת וראשון). לדוגמא – אם הגדרנו סבב פיתוח מה – 3 לפברואר עד ה – 14 לפברואר – מדובר על 12 ימים סה”כ ו- 10 ימי פיתוח אבל אנחנו נראה...

Tweet In the previous posts “ TFS API Part 45 (VS11) – Modify Teams and Team Members ” I talked about Teams, from getting all team to modify and creating new Team using TFS API. Now, Teams are more than just a “Security Group”, they hold specific settings such as relevant Areas/Iteration for that Team. The “Team” can be assigned to Backlog Iteration (Set as Team’s backlog Iteration), this takes all paths under that iteration and add them to the team backlog. You can also change the Iteration backlog...
Tweet In my previous post “ Teams and Team Members ” I talked about new Service in TFS API called – TfsTeamService. Using this service we can control Teams and Team Members under TFS. We can create and remove Teams and Team Members using TFS API. I know this can be quite confusing but Teams in TFS are simply Group (Security Group), same as Contributors, Administrators etc. If you open Security tab under TFS Web Management you can see that there is two separate lists of Groups – Teams and TFS...

I said cool finally I can use the MATCH Element (Work Item Type Definition Schema) to set a regex for System.Title field, The MATCH rule doesn't support full regular expressions , but a simplified version. <MATCH pattern="pattern to match" for="user name" not="user name" /> Enforces basic pattern matching for strings only. <pattern> should be replaced...
