c# - How to call Workstation.GetLocalWorkspaceInfo in a way that works for those who use VS2012 and those who use VS2013 without reflection? -

workstation.current.getlocalworkspaceinfo(string) returns workspaceinfo object associated given local directory.

so, wrote simple programme displays workspace name given local directory name. works great on machine, not work on another.

the difference between 2 mine runs vs2012 , other 1 - vs2013. life of me, cannot understand it. both workspaces linked same tfs server 2010.

after reading tfs api: getlocalworkspaceinfo returns null replaced microsoft.teamfoundation.xxx references ones found on sec machine , worked again. but, of course, stopped working on machine.

it cannot right way. must doing wrong here.

i want single executable work both machines without resorting reflection. question simple - how?

the finish source code can found here - https://bitbucket.org/markkharitonov/tfsinsanity/src. basically, 2 projects sharing same source code, using different set of dependencies.

the main source code is:

private static workspace getworkspace(string wsroot, string wsname, string wsowner) { var coll = new tfsteamprojectcollection(new uri("http://torsvtfs01:8080/tfs/defaultcollection")); var vcs = (versioncontrolserver)coll.getservice(typeof(versioncontrolserver)); workspaceinfo wsinfo; if (wsroot == null) { console.writeline(workstation.current.name); wsinfo = workstation.current.getlocalworkspaceinfo(vcs, wsname, wsowner); if (wsinfo == null) { throw new exception(string.format("failed identify workspace {0};{1}", wsname, wsowner)); } } else { wsinfo = workstation.current.getlocalworkspaceinfo(wsroot); if (wsinfo == null) { throw new exception(string.format("failed identify workspace corresponding \"{0}\"", wsroot)); } } homecoming wsinfo.getworkspace(coll); }

here how works on machine (vs2012):

and on other machine:

in case, method signatures should identical, need worry getting proper dll referenced in first place. should able link newer dll , utilize binding redirection load dll users have vs 2012 installed.

we used method in previous product provide tfs 2005 , 2008 compatibility.

in short, create custom assembly resolver. here effort load microsoft.teamfoundation.* dlls vs 2012 when fail load vs 2013 versions linked against:

appdomain.currentdomain.assemblyresolve += new resolveeventhandler(resolveassembly); public static assembly resolveassembly(object sender, resolveeventargs args) { string[] arguments = args.name.split(new string[] { ", ", "," }, stringsplitoptions.removeemptyentries); string assemblyname = arguments[0]; if(assemblyname.startswith("microsoft.teamfoundation.", stringcomparison.currentcultureignorecase)) { homecoming assembly.load(assemblyname + ", version=11.0.0.0"); } homecoming null; }

(note should check requested version number , pass civilization info loader, outlined in blog post, snippet should sufficient started.)
