Does anyone have any good resources for working with the TFS 2010 API? I specifically looking at how to create, read, update and delete work items.

Please see the Team Foundation Server 2010 SDK on MSDN Code Gallery. More content will be coming on-line for the RTM release, but you should find enough there to get you started. Contact me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Jim, will do. We're just about ready to move all developers to TFS 2010. There's a number of projects we're also going to tie into TFS, it's going to be great! – Chris Nicol Jan 15 '10 at 03:05

- Shai Ratan's blog has a huge wealth of examples. They're 2008 but 99% still relevant.
- www.tfsexamples.com has 2008 examples, but still relevant
- WorkItemManager class from a TFS OS project I'm currently working on called Spruce, which is ASP.NET MVC 3 front end for TFS workitems. The class illustrates a large portion of what you need, although no deleting examples.
WorkItemSummary
in that class is simply a scaled downWorkItem
object. - BacklogItemHandler from the Scrum Dashboard project on codeplex also has a lot of good examples of how to use the API.

1+1 for the links Chris, thanks. Don't suppose you know if/where tfsexamples.com migrated to and if there are any new good resources now TFS2010 has been out a while? Cheers! – Smudge202 Sep 11 '11 at 00:10

@Smudge202 what do you need to know? Most of the stuff on that wiki was fairly basic – Chris S May 29 '12 at 20:13
