How can I download Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Common.dll

Question

I am building an app in Visual Studio 2015 to allow people to see the changesets of a TFS server.

I found some an example code, however it requires a reference to Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Common.dll, but I couldn't find the DLL in the Reference Manager.

I have also searched the server which has TFS2015 installed, and I couldn't find there either.

Does anybody know where to find the dll?

Answer 1

This might be installed in your local development machine. If so then the dll (Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Common.dll) can be referenced by browsing for it.

Another solution is to install the Nuget package Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client. Once installed, it will be ready to use for every project this package has been installed for.

Note: Be sure to check-in your packages folder if using version control.

Namespace: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Common

Assembly: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Common (in Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Common.dll)
