This release contains the following changes:
Windows Controls Installation
Simply run the msi setup and restart Visual Studio. If you haven’t already added the custom control to your Workitem form, see the individual control details on instruction on how to embed it into the work item type definition on the server.
Note: The client controls are not backwards compatible so you will need to install the version for each of the Visual Studio editions you will use.
Alternatively you can download the latest source code and build it. Not that the assembly must be compiled with the corresponding version of TeamFoundation assemblies of the client.
The deployment folder is located at the following location under a default client install: <ApplicationData>\Microsoft\Team Foundation\Work Item Tracking\Custom Controls\<Version>. <Version> is 12 for VS 2013, 11.0 for VS 2012, 10.0 for VS2010 and 9.0 for 2008. The *.wicc files and CodePlex.WitCustomControls.dll must be in the same location (unless you specify absolute path in the wicc). The root Custom Controls folder is the fallback location where all clients look for custom controls if it can't find it in the versioned folder.
Web Controls Installation
- Bugfix for issue when System.Web.Helper.dll is not present https://witcustomcontrols.codeplex.com/discussions/473524.
- Adding support for autocomplete in MultiValueControl.
- Adding support for data binding in MultiValueControl.
- MultiValueControl: a ComboBox to accept and show multiple values for a field by showing a list of checkboxes. More details here: MultiValue Control
- ScreenshotControl: a simple control (button) to capture a screenshot as a work item attachment. More details here: Screenshot controls.
- AttachmentsControl: this control cab be used as an alternative to the standard file attachments dialog. More details here: Screenshot controls.
- WebBrowserControl: displays a web browser inside a work item. More details here: Web browser control.
