TL;DR; Adds two event handlers for TFS: one emails users when assigned a work item, the other notifies users when work is reassigned. Includes setup and deployment steps.
I have added an extra event handler to the TFS Event Handler (Prototype) , and this makes two.
Assigned To Handler
The Assigned to handler send a users an email when a work item is assigned to them unless they did the assigning themselves.
Reassigned Handler
The reassigned handler send an email to a user to whom a work item used to be assigned, letting them know that they no longer have that piece of work in their list.
These handlers are easily added to a current deployment and are packaged together. You will need to update the version of your prototype deployment by downloading the latest version, but it does fix a number of found bugs.
Once you have the new version, download the Assignment Handlers rar file from the release page and extract them into the “c:Program FilesRDdotNetRDdotNet Team Server Event Handler (Prototype)EventHandlersWorkItemTracking” folder.
Stop the “ TFS Event Handler (Prototype)” service and open the “ RDdotNet .TFSEventHandler.exe.config” file with notepad.
if you want the AssignedToHandler to work ad the following line:
1<Handler type="RDdotNet.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.AssignedToHandler" 2 assemblyFileName="RDdotNet.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Assignement.dll" 3 assemblyFileLocation="~EventHandlersWorkItemTracking"> 4</Handler>
And if you want the Reassigned handler to work add the following line:
<Handler type=" RDdotNet .TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.ReAssignedHandler"
assemblyFileName=" RDdotNet .TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Assignement.dll"
assemblyFileLocation="~EventHandlersWorkItemTracking">
</Handler>
If you want both to work…then add both…easy.
