How to: Get a WorkItem

Each WorkItem is uniquely identified by ID (a positive integer) and Artifact URI. To get a WorkItem, provide GetWorkItem with the ID or URI of the WorkItem.

The following examples assume a WorkItemStore exists by the name of workItemStore.

Example

To retrieve a WorkItem by ID:

WorkItem workItem1 = workItemStore.GetWorkItem(id);
WorkItem workItem2 = workItemStore.GetWorkItem(15407);

To retrieve a WorkItem by URI:

WorkItem workItem3 = workItemStore.GetWorkItem(uri);
WorkItem workItem4 = workItemStore.GetWorkItem("vstfs:///WorkItemTracking/WorkItem/15407");
