Extending Team Foundation Server

Getting Up and Running with the TFS 2010 Object Model

For those of you familiar with Team Foundation Server (TFS), you are no doubt aware that it ships with a great deal of functionality right out of the box.  From work item tracking, to version control, reporting and everything else in between, TFS can handle almost any software development lifecycle (SDLC) methodology.  As extensive as TFS is, you will still, no doubt, run into scenarios that are not inherently covered.  To address these unhandled scenarios, Microsoft has provided broad extensibility throughout the product.  The extensibility points in TFS include the process templates, reports, build automation, and, at a more granular level, the TFS Object Model.  It is the TFS Object Model that we will be digging into in this article.
