Samples showing how to extend and integrate with Azure DevOps using the .NET client libraries.

Samples in GitHub

There are many samples with instructions on how to run them on our .NET Sample GitHub Page.

Other samples

REST examples on this page require the following NuGet packages:

Note

The Work Item Tracking (WIT) and Test Client OM are scheduled to be deprecated in 2020. For more information, see Deprecation of WIT and Test Client OM.

Example: Using a REST-based HTTP client

// https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.TeamFoundationServer.Client/
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.WebApi;
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.WebApi.Models;

// https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.InteractiveClient/
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.Client;

// https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.Client/
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.Common; 

/// <summary>
/// This sample creates a new work item query for New Bugs, stores it under 'MyQueries', runs the query, and then sends the results to the console.
/// </summary>
public static void SampleREST()
{
    // Connection object could be created once per application and we use it to get httpclient objects. 
    // Httpclients have been reused between callers and threads.
    // Their lifetime has been managed by connection (we don't have to dispose them).
    // This is more robust then newing up httpclient objects directly.  
    
    // Be sure to send in the full collection uri, i.e. http://myserver:8080/tfs/defaultcollection
    // We are using default VssCredentials which uses NTLM against an Azure DevOps Server.  See additional provided
    // examples for creating credentials for other types of authentication.
    VssConnection connection = new VssConnection(new Uri(collectionUri), new VssCredentials());

    // Create instance of WorkItemTrackingHttpClient using VssConnection
    WorkItemTrackingHttpClient witClient = connection.GetClient<WorkItemTrackingHttpClient>();

    // Get 2 levels of query hierarchy items
    List<QueryHierarchyItem> queryHierarchyItems = witClient.GetQueriesAsync(teamProjectName, depth: 2).Result;

    // Search for 'My Queries' folder
    QueryHierarchyItem myQueriesFolder = queryHierarchyItems.FirstOrDefault(qhi => qhi.Name.Equals("My Queries"));
    if (myQueriesFolder != null)
    {
        string queryName = "REST Sample";

        // See if our 'REST Sample' query already exists under 'My Queries' folder.
        QueryHierarchyItem newBugsQuery = null;
        if (myQueriesFolder.Children != null)
        {

        }
        if (newBugsQuery == null)
        {

            newBugsQuery = new QueryHierarchyItem()
            {

                Wiql = "SELECT [System.Id],[System.WorkItemType],[System.Title],[System.AssignedTo],[System.State],[System.Tags] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject] = @project AND [System.WorkItemType] = 'Bug' AND [System.State] = 'New'",
                IsFolder = false
            };

        }
    }

Authenticating

To change the method of authentication to Azure DevOps Services or Azure DevOps Server, change the VssCredential type passed to VssConnection when creating it.

Personal Access Token authentication for REST services
public static void PersonalAccessTokenRestSample()
{
    // Create instance of VssConnection using Personal Access Token
    VssConnection connection = new VssConnection(new Uri(collectionUri), new VssBasicCredential(string.Empty, pat));
}
Visual Studio sign-in prompt (Microsoft Account or Azure Active Directory backed) for REST services (.NET Framework only)

Because interactive dialogs are not supported by the .NET Core version of the clients, this sample applies only to the .NET Framework version of the clients.

public static void MicrosoftAccountRestSample()
{
    // Create instance of VssConnection using Visual Studio sign-in prompt
    VssConnection connection = new VssConnection(new Uri(collectionUri), new VssClientCredentials());
}
Azure Active Directory Authentication for REST services
public static void AADRestSample()
{
    // Create instance of VssConnection using Azure AD Credentials for Azure AD backed account
    VssConnection connection = new VssConnection(new Uri(collectionUri), new VssAadCredential(userName, password));
}
OAuth Authentication for REST services

Follow this link to learn how to obtain and refresh an OAuth accessToken: https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-auth-samples

public static void OAuthSample()
{
    // Create instance of VssConnection using OAuth Access token
    VssConnection connection = new VssConnection(new Uri(collectionUri), new VssOAuthAccessTokenCredential(accessToken));
}
