How do you connect to a TFS server in C# using specific credentials?

Question

I am attempting to write a c# application that connects to TFS and retrieves work item information. Unfortunately, it seems like all examples of using the TFS SDK are using

Years down the line, this is how you do it with TFS 2013 API:

// Connect to TFS Work Item Store
ICredentials networkCredential = new NetworkCredential(tfsUsername, tfsPassword, domain);
Uri tfsUri = new Uri(@"http://my-server:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection");
TfsTeamProjectCollection tfs = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(tfsUri, networkCredential);
WorkItemStore witStore = new WorkItemStore(tfs);

If that doesn't work, try to pass the credentials through other Credential classes (worked for me):

// Translate username and password to TFS Credentials
ICredentials networkCredential = new NetworkCredential(tfsUsername, tfsPassword, domain);
WindowsCredential windowsCredential = new WindowsCredential(networkCredential);
TfsClientCredentials tfsCredential = new TfsClientCredentials(windowsCredential, false);

// Connect to TFS Work Item Store
Uri tfsUri = new Uri(@"http://my-server:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection");
TfsTeamProjectCollection tfs = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(tfsUri, tfsCredential);
WorkItemStore witStore = new WorkItemStore(tfs);
