Get Changeset and all it's changes on TFS using c#

Question

I am trying to get a specific changeset by it's changesetid. It is working. The problem is I can't get the files affected by that changeset.

Changeset changeset = GetChangeset(new Uri("tfs path"), 10918);

foreach (var w in changeset.Changes)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Type:" + w.ChangeType);
    Console.WriteLine("Comment:" + changeset.Comment);
    Console.WriteLine("Date:" + changeset.CreationDate);

    foreach (var y in changeset.WorkItems)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Name:" + y.Title + y.Type);
    }
}

private static Changeset GetChangeset(Uri serveruri, int changesetid)
{
    var tfs = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(serveruri);
    var svc = tfs.GetService<VersionControlServer>();
    var changeset = svc.GetChangeset(changesetid);

    return changeset;
}

The above code is working. I can get the changeset as an object and display the ChangeType, CreationDate and Comment but I can't get the items associated with the change. For example, I edited the Program.cs. So it should be visible under that changeset.

Any suggestion would be gladly appreciated.

Thanks!

You are already iterating over the Changes in your code. The affected File is in the Item property of the Change type.

in your case: w.Item.ServerItem --> This is the Serverpath of the File like '$/A/B/C.txt'

You can download it by using w.Item.DownloadFile(@"C:\local.txt")
