    Hello,

    I work on a Visual Studio Plugin that I want to update from vs2015 to vs2017. After updating all the nuget packages I got the error:

    CS7069 Reference to type 'TeamFoundationServer' claims it is defined in 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client', but it could not be found

    The Code causing this ist:

    TfsTeamProjectCollection teamProjectCollection =/*..*/;
DocumentService doc = Dte.GetObject("Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.DocumentService") as DocumentService;
                
IWorkItemDocument wiDoc = doc.GetWorkItem(teamProjectCollection, id, this);

    So I dont use 'TeamFoundationServer' as it self because I use the other overload of the GetWorkItem method.

    Microsoft.TeamFoundationServer.ExtendedClient is on Version 15.112.1, so it should contain correct Version.

    I try to compile in vs2015 and 2017 getting in both cases the same error.

    Hi Daniel,

    Have you installed the "Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.dll" to your project?

    And how do you add this dll to your project?

    I tested the code then I added the dll with NuGet, but the file under NuGet is a 3rd file, so try to find it under your local machine instead. It is under the following path in my PC:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer

    Regards,

    Stanly

    Hi Daniel H. Wehrle,

    This forum discusses and asks questions about extending and integrating with Visual Studio, since your issue is more related to TFS. I would suggest that you could post your issue on stackoverflow with tag tfs, tfs2017,tfs2015

    https://stackoverflow.com/

    Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

    Best regards,

    Zhanglong Wu
