TFS List File modified after 'Label'

Question

Hi all,

I'm working with TFS 2008 with Continuous Build integration.

It's possible to have a list of files modified after Label applied?

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

This is not as easy as you might thing. First off, don't consider the label to be a specific point in time. You can move a label from one version of a file to another, so the date of one given file might not be the same as the dates of the rest of the files in the build.

Instead, you probably want to go by a given date.

1. Get the start time of the build, then

2. Use the commandline TF.EXE to get the list (where the build start time is the datetime shown in version below).

   tf history /server:http://tfs:8080 "$/Project/Dev/Src" /version:D2010-06-04T00:00~T /format:detailed /noprompt /recursive

This will get a detailed list of all changes that happened since 06/04/2010 at midnight, and the current time ("T").

If you're looking to do this programmatically, let me know and I can give some guidance there.
