TFS 2012 API - Get all work items assigned to a user

Just playing around with TFS API. I always have to remeber how to start, so I document my findings here, as a reference for me - and maybe it might help someone else...

So if you want to query all WorkItems assigned the current user you first have to reference

• Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client
• Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Common
• Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client

Then use the following code:

var collection = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(new Uri("http://nb-tri:8080/tfs/defaultcollection"));
collection.EnsureAuthenticated();

var query =
    "SELECT * " +
    "FROM WorkItems " +
    "WHERE [System.TeamProject] = @project and " +
    "      [System.WorkItemType] <> '' and " +
    "      [System.State] <> '' and " +
    "      [System.AssignedTo] = @user " +
    "ORDER BY [System.Id] ";

var wiStore = collection.GetService<WorkItemStore>();
var parameter = new Dictionary<string, string>
    {
        {"project", "ScrumTest"},
        {"user", collection.AuthorizedIdentity.DisplayName}
    };
var result = wiStore.Query(query, parameter);

That's it... easy, isn't it?
