Team Foundation Server Event Subscription Tool

New Post: Custom Field usage

bryanwdickerson — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:48:05 GMT

I think this is probably an old item, but I've been using the item for several months now to good success, but recently we added some custom fields and we need for these fields to be used in the EST to send emails. I have tried using

"ChangedFields/StringFields/Field[ReferenceName='ABC.PeerCodeReviewer']/OldValue" = 'user1' ,

and I have tried "CoreFields/StringFields/Field[ReferenceName='ABC.PeerCodeReviewer']/OldValue" = 'user1'

and neither one seems to work. What is the correct way to reference custom fields?

New Post: Cannot locate users?

bgi — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 16:34:59 GMT

I made a few changes to enable this. See below for a minor change to ShowSubscriptions. Enter a star in the user field searches for all subscriptions. This hasn't yet been tested with the other functionality - just the search and display - so I don't know how this may impact adding/deleting/editing subs.

        private void ShowSubscriptions()
        {
            Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;
            subscriptionslistView.Items.Clear();

            if (eventService != null)
            {
                Subscription[] subs;
                if (userTextBox.Text == "*") {
                    subs = eventService.GetAllEventSubscriptions();
                } else {
                    subs = eventService.GetEventSubscriptions(userTextBox.Text);
                }
                foreach (Subscription s in subs)
                {

New Post: Any plans to refresh for TFS 2010?

Hi all. I also ported this tool to TFS 2010 and put it on GitHub (https://github.com/mooware/tfseventsubscription), since the project here seems rather dead.

The only problem is that my new version can only manage subscriptions for the current user for some reason. Sadly the documentation for the API is practically non-existent, so it's hard to say what I'm doing wrong.

Commented Issue: Compatible for VS 2010? [17679]

Hello,

So I wanted to see if this tool would work for VS 2010 but as soon as I open the .exe (I've tried both the 08 version in an unzipped folder so it has it's config file and the 05 version) I instantly get an "EventSubscriptionTool has stopped working" error.

I'm wondering if it's because I have VS 2010 or if the tool is just not working?

Also - perhaps I need to put the tool in a special folder? I didn't see any instructions to do so though...

Thanks!

I am also seeing this issue. Looks like "EventSubscriptionTool" tool requires version 9.0.0.0 of assembly Microsoft.TeamFoundation whereas in VS 2010 we have version 10.0.0.0 of Microsoft.TeamFoundation
Please see the attached image Error.png

The file EventSubscriptionTool.exe.config has following

I just added a custom alert using the tool yesterday.

Could you upload your changes as patch to avoid everyone to do changes by themself?

Worked great for me, on Win7 64bit even. Thanks so much!

Yeah, I updated it for TFS2010. http://bit.ly/EventSubscriptionTool2010
I'm not sure whether it works well for you guys or not. It just works fine for me.
Hope it's useful for someone.

++ Neno. We really want an easy way to manage everyone's email subscriptions on our TFS Server. Until TFS has an automated way of setting up email alerts for users say "when a work item is assigned to me" then we'll have users that don't have a clue that TFS can automatically send them notifications. Therefor our TFS Administrator spends his day working from a sharepoint list that users update with what type of email alerts they are looking for. [Our users aren't the brightest bulbs in the bunch but they get their code working and so we just handle alerts behind the scenes for them...and yes we've shown them the TFS power tools about a billion times.]

Still hoping for this tool to be upgraded...even a command line tool would be ok...if we have to brute force it.

bhopenw, the "Alerts Explorer" does only support showing subscriptions created by you, whereas the Event Subscription Tool gave you the ability to manage and administer ALL subscriptions on the server.

You should check out the TFS 2010 Power Tools Alerts Explorer A plug-in to Visual Studio, Alerts Explorer provides a graphical user interface that supports flexible subscription of alerts based on check-in, work item change, or build completion. http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/3e8c9b68-6e39-4577-b9b7-78489b5cb1da
