Work Item Query Language
The Work Item Query Language (WIQL) is a SQL-like language you can use to query programmatically for work items against the work item object model.
You can use it to build more complex queries than supported in the query builder user interface of the Team Explorer.
WIQL is available for use in add-ins or any Team Foundation Server extensions.
