Is it possible to add a field to existing TFS work items. Team Foundation Server Work Item Template. To add custom work item type programmatically in TFS c#? Fabulatech Usb Over Network Keygen. Breaking Barriers Program Gordon Graham on this page. I have a TFS 2010 Work Item Type with a custom field called 'Requested By.' This field can be populated with any name, but since most of the requests come from.

Hi Allen, I think you could look at any custom control example that reads/writes to a plain text field as a model. Here's a page that describes building custom controls in case you're not familiar with the process. Let's say you choose structure your data for the custom control as XML and store it in a plain text field.

At any point where you read the plain text value from the underlying work item field (e.g. InvalidateDataSource), you would parse the plain text value as XML and build a data model suitable for your grid.

While you're editing the work item the grid is working directly with your data model. When it's time to write the plain text value to the underlying work item (e.g FlushToDatasource), you would build an XML stream from your data model, and save it to the work item as plain text. I can't put together a reference implementation at the moment, but I think this explanation might be enough to get you started.

Let me know if you have further questions. Thanks, Rick. I started one but I can't commit to completing it and getting it published in the short term. So for now let's see if we can determine where you're getting hung up. • The data from the grid can be stored in a single plain text WIT field as XML, as mentioned in Ruiz's post. You choose whatever XML structure works for your data (and it doesn't even have to be XML for that matter). WIT just sees this as a simple text string, your custom control understands how to interpret the string as structured data.
