Am looking for a small code snippet which helps me to create a defect in TFS Programmatically using c# VSTS2015.

My TFS Server: http://tfs2.dell.com:8080/tfs/eDell/eDellPrograms/
server is: http://tfs2.dell.com:8080/tfs
Collection is: eDell
Project is: eDellPrograms

Work Item = Defect

Thanks,

You have 2 options:

1. TFS Soap API (SDK)


2. TFS Rest API

For TFS Soap API (SDK) you need these DLL's:

Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client;
Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client;

The code is:

using System;
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client;
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client;

namespace createNewWorkItem

 class Program
 
 static int Main(string args)
 
 Uri collectionUri = new Uri("http://server:8080/TFS/");
 TfsTeamProjectCollection tpc = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(collectionUri);
 WorkItemStore workItemStore = tpc.GetService<WorkItemStore>();
 Project teamProject = workItemStore.Projects["MyProject"];
 WorkItemType workItemType = teamProject.WorkItemTypes["Defect"];

 WorkItem Defect = new WorkItem(workItemType);

 Defect.Title = "TITLE GOES HERE";
 Defect.Description = "DESCRIPTION GOES HERE";
 Defect.Fields["Issue ID"].Value = "999999";


 Defect.Save();
 return (Defect.Id);

 
 

If you want use Rest API you don't need the above DLL's.

The code is:

 public static async void createtWorkItem()
 
 string requestUrl = "http://TFS2015servername:8080/tfs/collectionname/teamprojectname/_apis/wit/workitems/$Defect?api-version=1.0";
 JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
 string json = serializer.Serialize(new objectnew
 
 op = "add",
 path = "/fields/System.Title",
 value = "New Task from TFS 2015 REST API"
 );

 HttpClientHandler authtHandler = new HttpClientHandler()
 
 // Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials
 Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domainname")
 ;

 using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient(authtHandler))
 
 var method = new HttpMethod("PATCH");

 var request = new HttpRequestMessage(method, requestUrl)
 
 Content = new StringContent(json, Encoding.UTF8,
 "application/json-patch+json")
 ;
 HttpResponseMessage hrm = await client.SendAsync(request);

 Console.WriteLine("Completed!");
 ;
