VersionOne Visual Studio Add-In User Guide
VersionOne Visual Studio Add-In User Guide
The VersionOne Visual Studio Add-in (VSAddin) provides direct
interaction with VersionOne developer tasks from within Visual
Studio. This enables Microsoft platform developers to update
VersionOne task status, estimates, remaining effort, etc., without
needing to leave the comfortable confines of the Visual Studio IDE.
VSAddin was created using the
Visual Studio.NET 2003 VSIP SDK & Extras
and has been released as a working reference implementation..
VersionOne: 6.3 or above
Client Workstation:
Operating
System—Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows Server 2003
IDE—Visual Studio .Net 2003 or Visual Studio 2005
Run the VSAddin setup msi and follow the steps in the
installation wizard.
Select Options… from the
Tools
menu, and navigate to the VersionOne settings as show in
Figure 1, “Configuration Options Screen”.
Enter the configuration parameters as specified in the table
below and click Test Connection
to ensure that the add-in can both access VersionOne’s API and
authenticate using the supplied username and password. If the add-in
is not configured correctly, or if VersionOne is unavailable (e.g.
you are off-network), both the Projects and Tasks windows will
inform you of the appropriate error, and provide an option to modify
the add-in configuration.
Table 1. VSAddin Configuration Parameters |
Parameter | Description |
|---|
|
Application URL | VersionOne installation URL | |
Username | User that will access VersionOne.
If authenticationType is WindowsIntegrated this can
either be left blank to use the currently logged on
user, or a different windows domain account can be
specified (it must be in the form
'user@FullyQualifiedDomainName'). | |
Password | Password for the username above. If
the authenticationType is WindowsIntegrated this
should be left blank if the username is blank (to
use the currently logged on user account). | |
Effort Tracking | Flag for Effort Tracking. If
VersionOne has effort tracking enabled, check this
box to add the
Effort
and Done
columns |
The add-in consists of two dockable windows,
VersionOne Projects and
VersionOne Tasks, accessible via the View menu’s Other
Windows sub-menu. Additionally, the built-in Visual Studio
properties grid is populated with relevant properties dependent on
the user’s context and focus within either window.
As shown in
Figure 2, “Projects Window”, the VersionOne Projects dockable
window displays a project tree populated with your current projects.
To access this window, go to the View menu, select the Other Windows
sub-menu, and select VersionOne Projects. To choose a specific
project to work on, simply navigate the tree and select it.
Note that your project selection is maintained between uses of
Visual Studio (per user, via Documents And Settings), so after
you select the project you may close this window to preserve
real estate within the IDE. The Task Window (discussed next)
displays the current project name in its’ window title for
project context.
Like the VersionOne Projects window, the Tasks window is
accessible by selecting VersionOne Tasks via the View menu’s
Other Windows sub-menu. Once you’ve selected a project you’re
working on, the Tasks window will display a grid listing all
tasks that belong to you. To update a task, either modify the
attribute directly in the tasks grid (for the most common
properties) or, after selecting the row, use the Visual Studio
properties grid to edit the extended set of task properties.
Once you’re finished updating a Task, click the Save button to
update the task in VersionOne.
