subscribe an event using the API

The API you are looking for is in the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Server namespace in the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Common assembly.

The interface that allows you to manipulate subscriptions is IEventService. You would do something like this:

using System;

using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client;

using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Server;

namespace SubscriptionTest

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

TeamFoundationServer tfs = new TeamFoundationServer("myTFSServer");

IEventService eventService = (IEventService)tfs.GetService(typeof(IEventService));

DeliveryPreference prefs = new DeliveryPreference();

prefs.Schedule = DeliverySchedule.Immediate;

prefs.Type = DeliveryType.EmailHtml;

prefs.Address = "myaddress@mydomain.com";

string filter = "myfilter";

string eventName = "WorkItemChangedEvent";

string userName = "myUser";

int sId = eventService.SubscribeEvent(userName, eventName, filter, prefs);

Console.WriteLine("Created Subscription #{0}", sId);

}

}

Hi,

Thanks again for your answer - Karthik,

I have a small problem with my code, I thought maby you can help me with that .

I didnt succeed to subscribe an event with this filter.

My filter string look like this:

String filter = "PortfolioProject = 'Shmil_TP' AND \\ChangedFields/StringFields/Field[ReferenceName='System.AssignedTo']/NewValue\ = 'MyName' AND \\ChangedFields/StringFields/Field[ReferenceName='System.WorkItemType']/NewValue\\ = 'Bug' "

I'm getting syntax error, and I cant figure what is the problem.

By the way, I succeed to subscribe some other events.

Thanks in advance,

Shmulik.
