listing all contents of a folder in tfs

Question

Given a particular path of folder in tfs, I need to recursively find all files and folders within the folder for a given changeset. In other words, i need to get the transitive closure of a path in tfs for a given changeset. The problem I'm facing in doing so is listing the contents of a particular folder within tfs.. How would this be possible in C# ?

Answer 1

I'm assuming you want 'folder contents as of changeset X' and not 'folder contents that were part of changeset X'

GetItems is the right call to use, just pass in a version spec for the changeset you're interested in.

so, assuming you already have a reference to the VersionControlServer instance:

var myFolderAtChangeset17 = versionControlServer.GetItems("$/MyFolder", new ChangesetVersionSpec(17), RecursionType.Full);

If I misunderstood and you happen to want to 'folder contents that were part of changeset X', there's a few different ways of doing it, but getting the changeset with GetChangeset and just filtering the Changes is pretty simple.
