This repository contains C# samples that show how to integrate with Azure DevOps Services and Azure using our public client libraries, service hooks, and more.
Take a minute to explore the repo. It contains short as well as longer examples that demonstrate how to integrate with Azure DevOps Services and Azure DevOps Server.
In the ClientLibrary folder, you'll find the following:
- Samples: short reusable code blocks demonstrating how to call specific APIs.
- Quickstarts: self-contained programs demonstrating a specific scenario, typically by calling multiple APIs.
For .NET developers, the primary (and highly recommended) way to integrate with Azure DevOps Services and Azure DevOps Server is via our public .NET client libraries available on Nuget. Microsoft.TeamFoundationServer.Client is the most popular Nuget package and contains clients for interacting with work item tracking, Git, version control, build, release management and other services.
See the Azure DevOps client library documentation for more details.
Simple console program that connects to Azure DevOps using a personal access token and displays the field values of a work item.
