update to TFS 2015 client libraries

[ctaggart]

The TFS 2015 client libraries ship with Visual Studio 2015. In order to build locally, I need to update them to the ones that ship with VS 2015.

The dll's are no longer in the GAC. They are on NuGet.

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.TeamFoundationServer.Client/
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.Client/
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.InteractiveClient/
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.TeamFoundationServer.ExtendedClient/

I'm beginning to think that SourceLink.Tfs needs to be its own top level project not maintained here. I don't use it anymore.

Adding nuget Microsoft.TeamFoundationServer.ExtendedClient content: none pulls in a lot of dependencies:

And it is still missing:

• Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Activities
• Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Workflow
• Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Git.Common

The only one in the GAC is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\ReferenceAssemblies\v2.0\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.TestManagement.Client.dll

---

If I search for Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Activities.dll, it is found in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\j1qgetxb.x5p\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Activities.dll"
extension.vsixmanifest

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\0s4yflvm.gga\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Activities.dll"
extension.vsixmanifest.deleteme

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\q5g3gjxn.scn\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Activities.dll"
extension.vsixmanifest.deleteme

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\ptuozp5t.ch0\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Activities.dll"
extension.vsixmanifest.deleteme

Weird. They are all:
Team Foundation Team Explorer Extensions
Team Foundation extensions for Team Explorer

Each about 157 MB on disk.

One is enabled and the others are pending deletion.

The client libraries should be backwards compatible. It is the deployment of the TFS activity where the version will matter. TFS 2013 users can use SourceLink.Tfs 1.0.0 libraries for that. TFS 2015 users will be able to use SourceLink 1.1.0 libraries, but hopefully there is an even better integration bridge.

Before closing this, I need to make sure I update the .fsx files to use Microsoft.Build instead of SourceLink.Build.

Hi Cameron, sorry I don't understand, I'm trying to get Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Workflow to use with tfs2013 but I can't find it anywhere and SourceLink.Tfs 1.0.0 seems to be deprecated. please help
