"Assigned To" field

We are trying to locate the field in the database that references who is assigned to a given task.

We have an external application to log time against a given task and only want the list of tasks assigned to a specific developer to show up in that developer's list of tasks, but we can't find the field that indicates who a task is assigned to.

Any ideas

"Assigned To" field

    The field will have a Reference Name "System.AssignedTo" (which is immutable). You can use witfields.exe to get the friendly name of the field. You should find it in <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE

    witfields.exe view /s:YourTFSName System.AssignedTo

    You can use witexport.exe to export the work item type (in your case it is task) into an xml and look at it to find, which field Assigned To is mapped to.

    You can find witexport.exe in <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE.

    Hello
    It sounds like you have a question about Foundation Server. If so you should post to one of the Foundation Server forums like "Team Foundation Server -Administration"
