Hi,

Is there an attribute that would give me to which revision the work item belong too?

Thanks
Jafar

Are you interested in version numbers associated with file elements like in other SCM tools?

Each new "version" ("state") of a versionable gets a new (unique) ID.

The source control object that contains a set of logically related
changes (new versions) is called a "change set" (it's what shows up in
the history view, the pending changes view, etc.).

There is an object called a "link" that connects a work item to a change
set object. This link relationship is many/many, so one work item can
be linked to many change sets, and one change set can be linked to many
work items.

When you modify the changes associated with a work item, that can modify
the change sets, and can add/remove link objects that connect change
sets to that work item, but does not produce a new/modified state of the
work item object.

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Geoff,

Since Workitems have changes (e.g. code changes, bug fixes..etc)
affecting the current project version. Is there a "version"
number associated with workitems (as source files has revision numbers
in SVN).

Hope this clears my question

Thanks
