c# - TFS 2012 API Set TeamSettings Programmatically

Question

Is it possible to set the TeamSettings Programmatically?

var teamConfig = _tfs.GetService<TeamSettingsConfigurationService>();
                var css = _tfs.GetService<ICommonStructureService4>();

                var configs = teamConfig.GetTeamConfigurationsForUser(new[] { _selectedTeamProject.Uri });
                var team = configs.Where(c => c.TeamName == "Demo").FirstOrDefault() as TeamConfiguration;

The above code gives me the Team Configuration for the team Demo. Look at the TeamSettings, it contains the property BacklogIterationPath, CurrentIterationPath, IterationPaths. How can these be set programmatically?

Answer 1

I think I have solved it myself.

        // Set up default team sprint date and time
        var teamConfig = _tfs.GetService<TeamSettingsConfigurationService>();
        var css = _tfs.GetService<ICommonStructureService4>();

        string rootNodePath = string.Format("\{0}\Iteration\Release 1\Sprint 1", _selectedTeamProject.Name);
        var pathRoot = css.GetNodeFromPath(rootNodePath);

        css.SetIterationDates(pathRoot.Uri, DateTime.Now.AddDays(-5), DateTime.Now.AddDays(7));

        var configs = teamConfig.GetTeamConfigurationsForUser(new[] { _selectedTeamProject.Uri });
        var team = configs.Where(c => c.TeamName == "Demo").FirstOrDefault();

        var ts = team.TeamSettings;
        ts.BacklogIterationPath = string.Format(@"{0}Release 1", _selectedTeamProject.Name);
        ts.IterationPaths = new string[] { string.Format(@"{0}Release 1Sprint 1", _selectedTeamProject.Name), string.Format(@"{0}Release 1Sprint 2", _selectedTeamProject.Name) };

        var tfv = new TeamFieldValue();
        tfv.IncludeChildren = true;
        tfv.Value = _selectedTeamProject.Name;
        ts.TeamFieldValues = new []{tfv};

        teamConfig.SetTeamSettings(team.TeamId, ts);

This sets up,

1. Iteration Start and Finish Date for an Iteration
2. Backlog Iteration Path for the team Demo
3. Sets up Iteration Paths for the team Demo
4. Sets up the default Area Path for the team Demo
