I have a clean windows installation with just Visual Studio 2015 installed and I'm looking to find the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client assembly?
I'm wondering if it has now been made obsolete with the upcoming vNext Build or if the namespace moved? or something else? The MSDN documentation only goes up to Visual Studio 2013 and search for the dll on disk produced no results.
when I move to VS2015 and TFS2015 id wish to continue to use the classic build system - I guess I could use the rest API in TFS2015 but rather not have to port all the code of our custom activities and MSBuild tasks just yet.
Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client.dll still ships with VS 2015. For the 2015 release, we have removed the client OM DLLs from the GAC.
In the RC release you can find the DLL in c:\program files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer. It's kind of an obscure place.
The TFS 2015 client OM RTM NuGet package is now available (also works for Visual Studio Online): .NET client libraries for Visual Studio Online (and TFS)
I do show a Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client assembly version 12.0.0.0 that can be referenced. You may need the assembly from Visual Studio 2013.
I have updated all my build processes from TFS and VS 2013 to 2015 and they run, yet I may not have custom tasks, etc. as you do.
Visual Studio 2015 does say it supports all previous build process features (they now refer to as XAML Builds), even though they have re-written the build process. See the TFS 2015 release notes for details: https://www.visualstudio.com/news/tfs2015-vs#vNextBuild
I have successfully connected TFS server & verify it installed by checking below registry key.
Open RUN->REGEDIT (with Admin right) -> Navigate to below keys.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\TeamFoundation\SourceControl\Proxy]
Also, check below keys for check TFS Instances on your machine
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\TeamFoundation\Instances]
