VSTS Extensibility, Subscription API, IEventService

  Where have you hosted your webservice is it on the same box that has the Sharepoint and SQL Server 2005 beta 2 If so you would need to exclude the web service virtual directory from the sharepoint, you can do this by following the same process you did for excluding the sql reporting services 2005 in a single server installation. If thats not the case, make sure the web service directory / page has only integrated authentication [anonymous access disabled] and the client computer allows access to the Service account the TFS Server is running under (normally TFSService if the default installation steps were followed).
  
  Thanks,
  Krishna

  This often happens when the parameter name of your Notify method is not exactly 'eventXml'.  Webmethods use reflection to map the SOAP xml to the arguments, and when the names don't match exactly, the argument is left as the default null.

  Oh and here is the Subscription code ...
  
  

  try             {                 string tfsServer = "foundationserver";                 TeamFoundationServer tfs = TeamFoundationServerFactory.GetServer(tfsServer);                 IEventService eventService = tfs.GetService(typeof(IEventService)) as IEventService;                 DeliveryPreference delivery = new DeliveryPreference();                 delivery.Type = DeliveryType.Soap;                 delivery.Schedule = DeliverySchedule.Immediate;                 delivery.Address = "http://tfsclient2/checkinnotification/service.asmx";                 int id = eventService.Subscribe(@"DEV03\Krishna", "CheckInEvent", "", delivery);                 if (id < 0)                     throw new ApplicationException("Unable to subscribe...");                 Console.WriteLine("Press enter to Exit...");                 Console.ReadLine();                 eventService.Unsubscribe(id);             }             catch (Exception ex)             {                 Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());                 Console.ReadLine();             }

  How does the connection between the app and webservice happen I created the console app and web service. I ran the console app and then modified an existing workitem. In the service I just write out the eventXML to a local file. Is there something else that I'm missing
  
  Thx

  This works for me.  Maybe you need the RequestNamespace set
  
      [SoapDocumentMethod("http://Microsoft.VisualStudio.Bis/Notify",
      RequestNamespace = "http://Microsoft.VisualStudio.Bis")]
      [WebMethod]
      public EventResult Notify(string eventXml)
      {
          ...
      }

  The sample had the argument as eventXml, this is what i tried first, the Event Servicing Spec. from the VSTS extensibility kit had it as bisEvent which I tried second, in both the cases the parameter for the CheckinEvent is coming always null..any other pointers

  Hi Krishnawin,
     I am having a problem with the eventing service.
     I tried using the code snippet sent in ur post.
  
     These are the steps I had carried out
     
  ===========
    WebService
  ===========
  Code in Service.cs
  
  

  using System;

  using System.Web;

  using System.Web.Services;

  using System.Web.Services.Protocols;

  [WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]

  [WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]

  public class Service : System.Web.Services.WebService

  {

  public Service ()

  {}

  [SoapDocumentMethod("http://Microsoft.VisualStudio.Bis/Notify",

  RequestNamespace = "http://Microsoft.VisualStudio.Bis")]

  [WebMethod]

  public void Notify(string eventXml)

  {

  if (eventXml == string.Empty)

  throw new ApplicationException("event parameter is empty");

  }

  }

  
  =========
  Subscription
  ==========
  Code
  
  

  using System;

  using System.Collections.Generic;

  using System.Text;

  using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Bis.Proxy;

  using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Bis.Services;

  using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.Client;

  namespace EventSubscription

  {

  class Program

  {

  static void Main(string[] args)

  {

  try

  {

  string tfsServer = "tcs046247.testdom";

  TeamFoundationServer tfs = TeamFoundationServerFactory.GetServer(tfsServer);

  IEventService eventService = tfs.GetService(typeof(IEventService)) as IEventService;

  DeliveryPreference delivery = new DeliveryPreference();

  delivery.Type = DeliveryType.Soap;

  delivery.Schedule = DeliverySchedule.Immediate;

  delivery.Address = "http://tcs046247:11900/Service.asmx";

  int id = eventService.Subscribe(@"testdom\142575", "WorkItemChangedEvent", "", delivery);

  if (id < 0)

  throw new ApplicationException("Unable to subscribe...");

  Console.WriteLine("Press enter to Exit...");

  Console.ReadLine();

  eventService.Unsubscribe(id);

  }

  catch (Exception ex)

  {

  Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());

  Console.ReadLine();

  }

  }

  }

  }
  
  ================================================
  Compiled both the projects. Configured the webservice on the Server.
  Executed the code to subscribe to 'WorkItemChanged' Event.
  
  Open Team project and updated a task.
  
  On the server at the location Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Enterprise Server\BISIISDIR\bisserver checked Bislog.txt
  Section of Bislog.txt is pasted below
