Diffrent ways to travers buildetails of a build definition with vs 2005 and vs 2008

 

Sometimes you needtraverse the build details for a build definition and fetch their information.

I have thefollowing code for TFS2008. Since the tfs2005 variant is almost not documented,it tooks me almost a whole day to figure out some “deprecated” features byTFS2005 what does the same job, but written differently.

TFS2008:

TeamFoundationServer tfs = new TeamFoundationServer(serverAdress,new NetworkCredential(userName,Password)); // here another option is to use the factoryIBuildServer buildServer = (IBuildServer)tfs.GetService(typeof(IBuildServer));Project teamProject = ((WorkItemStore)tfs.GetService(typeof(WorkItemStore))).Projects[projectName];IBuildDefinition buildDefinition = buildServer.GetBuildDefinition(projectName,labelName);IBuildDetail[] detailCollection = buildDefinition.QueryBuilds();foreach (IBuildDetail builddetail in detailCollection) 

…

TFS2005:

TeamFoundationServer tfs = new TeamFoundationServer(serverAdress, new NetworkCredential(userName, Password));BuildStore bStore = (BuildStore)tfs.GetService(typeof(BuildStore));BuildData[] bDetails = bStore.GetListOfBuilds(projectName, labelName);foreach (BuildData builddetail in bDetails)
