How to integrate TrustSource with .NET through Team Foundation Server

Currently we provide two ways of integration with .NET. the first is directly issued from Visual Studio. Please see here for more information. This should do for small projects or single user installations. The second is targeting the development teams using a team foundation server. In the latter version the TrustSource-export could be integrated as a separate step into the build chain. How to setup this, is described in the following.

To get  a better understanding of package management and continuous integration in the .Net world, we recommend the following articles:

• Basic concepts of Package Management
• Install Package Management in TFS
• Start with Package Management in TFS

2. Execute in CommandPromt with administrator rights:

   2. tfx build tasks create
      (Use “CheckLicenses” as a first parameter (Name))

4. Open task.json file from the folder and paste the copied “id” value there.
