TFS API – Track changeset merge in Branches – Blog by Ben Clark-Robinson

This is a quick and easy way to identify what TFS paths a changeset has been merged into. Simply pass in the changeset ID, source path (like: $/project/dev) and a list of branches to check (like: $/project/release/release-1.0).

// Track a changeset merged into a possible list of branches.
public ExtendedMerge[] TrackChangesetIn(int changesetId, string projectPath, IEnumerable branches)
{ var projectCollection = _tfsServer.Connection(); // Get your connection to TFS if (projectCollection.HasAuthenticated == false) projectCollection.Authenticate(); // Get the Changeset list from the TFS API. var source = projectCollection.GetService(); var merges = source.TrackMerges(new int[] { changesetId }, new ItemIdentifier(projectPath), branches.Select(b => new ItemIdentifier(b)).ToArray(), null); return merges;
}

You can use this method like this:

var mergeBranch = TrackChangesetIn(id, "$/project/dev", new List { "B1", "B2" });
if (mergeBranch.Any())
{ var targetItems = mergeBranch.Select(mb => mb.TargetItem.Item);
}
