Hi!
I would like to create a team project, work item, resource allocation, etc. from my application using TFS API.
But i do not know where to start? I found Microsoft.TeamFoundation, Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client, Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Proxy.Portal provides APIs for all the above functionalities. But it is very difficult to me to understand the usages of these APIs.
Please do the needful asap.

Buck has a great example that shows some simple version control operations (create a workspace, pend a change, check in the change and hook up some event listeners). It's a good starting point.

Hmmm I think the best is follow some ways:
Hi!
Thanks for your reply.
But i've already crossed these stages. What i want is,
Create a team project programmatically and assign my custom process template to it?
I used ICommonStructureService.CreateProject() method and created project also. But i cannot assign a process template to it. And these projects does not display in my VS2005's Team Explorer.

There is no simple programmatic way to create a project. Project creation is done via a set of plugins that are on the client. Each plugin is responsible for creating/configuring a portion of a project. The first step you took (ICommonStructureService.CreateProject) is one of the first things that happens, then another plugin creates groups, another plugin creates work item types, queries, and the initial set of work items, etc. While all of this is available publicly thru the various web services there isn't a single API to create a new project based on a process template.

Project via the TFS API?

As Dennis said, there is no simple way to create project programatically, and I don't know any sample on that
Hi,
I came to know that Microsoft provides only limited set of programmatic features in TFS API. To create new team projects and all such big things, you should only use VS2005.
