TfsConfigurationServer.GetService() always returns null

Question

I\'m trying to connect to TFS 2010 using TFS SDK, but can\'t get VersionControlServer service.

var servers = RegisteredTfsConnections.GetConfigurationServers         


        

Answer 1

You don't want the configuration server, you want the project collection. The version control service is scoped to a team project collection. For example:

var projectCollection =
    TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.GetTeamProjectCollection(registeredProjectCollection);

var versionControl = projectCollection.GetService<VersionControlServer>();
