TFS tools on CodePlex

Buck Hodges

I ran two searches on CodePlex to see what folks are developing for TFS.  One search was for “TFS” and the other was for “Team Foundation,” which I hope would be enough to catch them all.  The second search only yielded one additional project (Time Tracker).

It’s always cool to see what folks come up with.  Highly-motivated individuals and groups can extend TFS in really meaningful ways.  If you start a project for TFS, contact me when you have a usable release, and I’ll mention it in a post.

The one highlighted in bold have useful releases that you can download today.

Project TFS Code Review Workflow

TFS Code Review Workflow This project is a combination of a Code Review Work Item and a Code Review Check-in Policy. The check-in policy doesn’t allow a check-in unless it has an associated Code Review work item, and that work item is set to approved. Only people in a TFS group named [Project]Code Reviewers can set an item to approved. Workflow: 1. Dev finishes code and wants it reviewed …

Project TFS File Sync

Web Service for receiving notification of TFS check-ins and copying specified files to locations like UNC paths or SharePoint servers.
