New Event Handlers

Published on
2 minute read

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:

<Handler type="RDdotNet.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.AssignedToHandler"
         assemblyFileName="RDdotNet.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Assignement.dll"
         assemblyFileLocation="~EventHandlersWorkItemTracking">
</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.
