As of late, I’ve started working on several Team Foundation Server API-based examples (some of which are starting to show up as blog postings).  Although the Team Foundation Server SDK does include some examples, it’s not always easy to locate the example you need (assuming it’s even there).  There are several blogs containing various TFS API examples, but again, the full details may be spread across several postings or even separate sites. Several months ago, Grant Holliday created the TFSBuild.com site dedicated to MSBuild and Team Foundation Build recipes.  I decided to take a similar approach and registered the site…

Although I haven’t completed the utility yet, I have completed some of the initial utility code.  I thought I would create a few posts as I progress in case anyone can make use of the examples.  For this post, I am posting the code used to…
