TFS File Changed Notification

Question

We have a number of files in our project and if they change they require changes to the Installers. Developers don't seem to be aware of the knock-ons of not notifying guy that looks after the installers of a change no matter how many emails are sent about it.

We need some way of being notified if any of these files change. I know TFS has some event subscription capabilities but haven't been able to find anything that would suit.

Can anyone help please?

Answer 1

The easiest way to create a custom event subscription is with the TFS Alerts Editor (walkthru + screenshots), which is now part of the Power Tools.

You can find a more complete reference XPath syntax reference on MSDN.
