Formatting Team Foundation Server Notifications
Use XSL to format event notifications. This transforms the event XML to the formatted notification.
To use XSL formatting, create an .xsl file in the D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server\Web Services\Services\v1.0\Transforms directory on the application tier. To use template formatting, create a .template file in the same directory. If both files are already in that directory for a given event type, use the template file.
XSL Example
The following is an example of an XSL transform.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<!-- Normal file content -->
<xsl:template match="/">
<head>
<title>Visual Studio Checkin Notification</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Visual Studio Notification</h1>
<p>One or more object was committed to the version control repository. Additional
information is available by selecting one of the links below.</p>
<h2>Changeset(s)</h2>
<hr/>
<table cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
<xsl:for-each select="CheckInEvent/Artifacts/Artifact[@artifactType='Changeset']">
<tr>
<td><xsl:apply-templates select="Uri" /></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
<h2>File(s)/Folder(s)</h2>
<hr/>
<table cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
<xsl:for-each select="CheckInEvent/Artifacts/Artifact[@artifactType='VersionedItem']">
<tr><td><xsl:apply-templates select="Uri" /></td></tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
<p>You are receiving this notification because of a subscription to events affecting
one or more of the above files and/or changesets. Contact your project
administrator if you want to stop receiving these notifications.</p>
</body>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Uri">
<A>
<xsl:attribute name="HREF">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</A>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
