I have just uploaded CTP 2 of the TFS Event Handler .This is a fully functional version of the application and I will be releasing documentation for this in due course, but all configuration of team servers and events is handled through the TFS Event Handler Explorer, but all Event Handlers are setup manually.
I have attached two executables:
- TFSEventHandlerServerSetup - This file includes the system service as well as the client for running on the same computer.
- TFSEventHandlerExplorerSetup - This contains only the Explorer client that can be installed on any computer for managing any TFS Event Handler deployment.
- v0.2.0 (CTP2) - All of the source for this version.
You will require Team Explorer 2008 for all variations as well as .NET 3.5
I know that there was a long time between the Prototype and CTP1 , but for quite a while I did not have access to a Team Server. Now I am in a big push, but CTP3 may be a while in coming. There are major changes between CTP1 and CTP2 , but I will be bug fixing and updating CTP2 for a while.
Now I have the engine relatively stable I want to concentrate on building some Event Handlers. Over the coming weeks I will be using the latest version in a production environment and testing it to the limits. I am pretty positive that I will find problems, but I would be gratefully for feedback on what I have so far. There were nearly 200 downloads of my prototype version, yet little or know feedback… I don’t know if that is because it was rubbish or if it was so good there was no need for feedback or bug reports
. I will assume the latter…
You can report issues and enter into discussions on the CodePlex site for the project.
