Hi,

I'm actually working on a specific integration tool between Sharepoint and Team Foundation Server.

Using the Client Object Model, I would like to retrieve structure and data for a specific work item in XML format.

The WorkItem class is not serializable and I would like to know if a specific formatter exists in the API.

Thanks.

Currently workitem is not serializeable and there is no built-in XML serializer, mostly because it was not considered as a primary scenario. We have XML representation of workitem, returned as a result of GetWorkItem webservice call. But the data may be hard to interpret on the client side.

We were thinking about creating some built-in XML format for representation of Team Foundation objects for the purpose of interopobility somewhere in next versions.

Thanks,
Valery
