Work Item Tracking RSS Feed

  • Article

John wrote a RSS feed sample a while back and I am posting it for him here. This is simlar to version control feed Jeff posted at https://blogs.msdn.com/jefflu/archive/2005/09/23/473248.aspx .

A code comment excerpt from WorkItemRssFeed.aspx:

    // This feed returns information about the most recent N new work items. See maxWorkItemCount
    // below.
    //
    // Invoking this page without any parameters returns information about all Team
    // Foundation work items up to the maximum count. If an ID is supplied,
    // the most recent version of that work items is returned. if an alias
    // is supplied we will return the most recent work items modified which are assigned to that user
    // by adding ?assignedto=<alias> or ?ID=<query name>.
    //
    // E.g., https://localhost:8080/WorkItemTracking/v1.0/WorkItemRssFeed.aspx?assignedto=bissvc

The file WorkItemRssSubscriptionGenerator.aspx shows available filter options and a nice UI to specify filters:

 

Here is a screenshot of the feed in viewer:
