Hi,
I want to use the properties of the Workspace class, abd I wrote this:
Workspace w= new Workspace();
But I cant create an instance from this class and I got this error:
The type 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client.Workspace' has no constructors defined

How can I get to this properties??

This is what it is: this class cannot be directly instantiated, at all. Any problems with that?
What's wrong with just reading MSDN documentation?

No.
But why do you attack?
How can I initialize it?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 27-Feb-14 15:40pm

Attack? Are you serious? I am trying to help you. Anyway, I answered. Please see the second paragraphs of my answer which should help you to understand where you were wrong, methodically. You are the one who needs it, not me.

I am sorry, but I saw this documents before and I did not understand, that why I come to ask here, could you please help me and tell me how to get the name of the current namespace?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 27-Feb-14 15:52pm

Okay. The idea is to proceed logically. When you see that no constructors are available, this is not a reason to break through the problem of finding the way of constructing the instance. (By the way, this is quite possible, but we are not looking for dirty unreliable hacks, do we?) This is a clear indication that this class is not designed to be instantiated directly, so we can forget about it. But the class itself is exposed to us; documentation does not tell that this is just a part of infrastructure we should not use. Well, we are retreating and trying to look around: how this class can be useful and how this class is supposed to be used. And so on... Isn't it all logical?

So, see my answer and I suggest you accept it formally (green "Accept" button). How to use everything else would be a different question, but I hope you can learn how to read the documentation and proceed, all by yourself... :-)

ok,thanks.
I accepted your solution even I still dont know how to get this class property :(

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 27-Feb-14 16:12pm

Which property? Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client.VersionControlServer.CreateWorkspace will give you the reference to created Workspace. It answers your question. And then use any properties you need, in a usual way.

I dont want to create workspace.. I want to get the name of the current workspace

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 27-Feb-14 16:26pm

Please, try to find everything in documentation, by yourself, otherwise you are going nowhere. Look:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.teamfoundation.versioncontrol.client.workspace.name.aspx.
And so on...

believe me that i looked in this document more than once and I dont understand how to get the name... you can not write the short code that does it?

Please see my comment to the question. What are you asking makes no sense. The instantiation of this class is not accessible for the users of the library. The workspaces are created by Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client.VersionControlServer:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.teamfoundation.versioncontrol.client.versioncontrolserver(v=vs.110).aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.teamfoundation.versioncontrol.client.versioncontrolserver.createworkspace.aspx[^].

You need to read MSDN documentation and other sources, instead of just trying to do something without understanding of its operations. First, you need to learn how things are supposed to be used.

Vote of 1? Unacceptable! +5!

Do you have any "enemies" on this site, Sergey?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 27-Feb-14 16:36pm

Thank you, Maciej.

Probably not many, but a couple would be enough to annoy. Most probably, this is one of those we noticed recently, the one with the reputation giving -8 for a vote.
No need to care too much... please look here :-)

Care-o-meter, i like it!
Belive me, you have got many friends on this board ;)

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 27-Feb-14 16:49pm

Sure, I know; this is great. And real friends are earned not by pleasing them, but by being honest, reliable and consistent. Trying to...

You know, about such kind of down-voting, which is seemingly not rational or principal, but rather just hatred-type:
Recently, I've read one strikingly clear phrase; you know, it said: "Only the slaves revenge"...

Maciej Los 27-Feb-14 17:34pm

Revenge... Strong word!
Do you know, that april's 2010 the President of Poland, His wife and many other most important people in Poland died in air-catastrophe, near Smolensk? Some reporters claim that was an accident, but some, that was a revenge (i won't say whose). A dense fog was send over the Smolensk's airport and that was direct reason of catastrophe. What a stupid idea!
I'm not supporter of conspiracy theory. If you would like to read more about that event, have a look here[^].
I prefer positive feelings, emotions. Let's stay positive!
Revenge is caused by hate, revenge causes hate, and so on...

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 27-Feb-14 18:00pm

...and revenge never helps anyone, anything.

Of cause I knew about that catastrophe. Just one thing: we don't have enough information on what happened. And I also don't believe conspiracy theories in general, by a pretty rational reason: people of evil just cannot do big-scale conspiracy. Not because they are not evil enough. Because their are not clever enough. Nobody can effectively control the whole world or something. One my friend ones told us: "no need to explain by conspiracy something which can be attributed to greed, laziness and stupidity".

By the way, as to the "conspiracy theories", a long ago I read a great saying: "Even the paranoid can have enemies"... :-)

Did I ever told you what is one of the top musical pieces by popularity in Russia? One of such things, something on the very top known by nearly every Russian starting from certain age? This is the polonez fortepianowy w tonacji a-moll autorstwa najprawdopodobniej Michała Kleofasa Ogińskiego named "Pożegnanie Ojczyzny". (English: Polonaise by Michael K Oginsky, "Farewell to Motherland".)

Mind you, it was dedicated to his departure from Poland after the rebellion, Insurekcja kościuszkowska was suppressed by troops of Russian Tzar's government. We have numerous variants of instrumentation of this piece, some by word-best ensemble and orchestras (Belorussian "Песняры" sing it with lyrics in both Russian and Polish), one great film about a musician who played it... People just love it, they listen it and... cry. No one ever associates it with any tensions between peoples, anything negative...

Wow! I need to tell you that i'm really impressed by You. Big knowledge in many aspects of life. I'm thankful that i met you.
I'm going to sleep. I need to get up at 5.45 AM and now is 0.15 AM.
Cheers!

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 27-Feb-14 18:33pm

Ha, 5:45. Sure. I understand it. I go to work really, really late, go to sleep way too late, but on Saturdays, I have to stand up at 5:30 the latest: horse riding. The biggest problem is driving, especially back home, trying not to fall asleep behind the wheel. Have to sleep in a car just a bit, to cope...
