Remarks
More detail on work item types can be found in Customizing Project Tracking Data, Forms, Workflow, and Other Objects. The XML schema for a work item type is described in Index to XML Element Definitions for Types of Work Items.
Each WorkItem contains a reference to the WorkItemType that it implements. You must specify a WorkItemType when you construct a WorkItem through: WorkItem.WorkItem(WorkItemType). You can get the WorkItemType of a WorkItem through the WorkItem.Type property.
You can determine the rules that govern the fields of this work item type by exporting the work item type definition to XML and parsing the XML.
