Using WorkSpace.CheckIn

Using WorkSpace.CheckIn

  The WorkspaceOwner should be the username of the person who owns the workspace. It's actually not necessary to provide the computer name since our system doesn't allow a user to have two workspaces with the same name.
  
  I believe the format required is "DOMAIN\username", though you can try with just the username portion, as well.

  Graham, you just need to get the pending change and pass it to CheckIn().  Here's a snippet from the API overview sample.
  http://blogs.msdn.com/buckh/archive/2005/09/09/463287.aspx
  
                  // Checkout and modify the file.
                  workspace.PendEdit(fileName);
                  using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fileName))
                  {
                      sw.WriteLine("revision 2 of basic.cs");
                  }
  
                  // Get the pending change and check in the new revision.
                  pendingChanges = workspace.GetPendingChanges();
                  changesetNumber = workspace.CheckIn(pendingChanges, "Modified basic.cs");
  
  Let me know if you have additional questions.

  [Update]  You can find documentation for the Version Control API in the October Visual Studio SDK release.  Once you install it, you can find the Version Control API doc in
  C:\Program Files\Visual Studio 2005 SDK\2005.10\VisualStudioTeamSystemIntegration\Version Control\Object Model (Help 1.x format).zip.

  Thats a great help Buck, but can I ask one more question please
  
  I'm writing a custom task to be called from a Team Build. Now, the Team Build has already created a workspace to perform the Get. I want to use that same workspace in my Task to perform a .PendEdit and later a Checkin. To use these two commands I need a workspace instance.
  
  What I wanted to ask you is; using the API what is the best way to get the workspace instance given a Workspace name (the workspace name will be passed in as a property to my task).
  
  Regards.

  Sorry, I have found this method on the Workstation:
  
  GetLocalWorkspaceInfo( string tfsname, string workspacename, string workspaceowner). What is the WorkspaceOwner param Would it be the computer name the workspace was created on

  What happens if there is a conflict that I want to ignore and do the check in anyway How do I force an overwrite on the existing file I guess the other way round is easier, just undo the local changes.

  Thanks a lot
