Team Foundation Server 2012 (WorkItem object does not contain „AssignedTo“ property)

Question

Code snippet:

string WIQL = "SELECT * FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.AssignedTo] = @Me AND [System.State] <> '400 CLOSED' ORDER BY [System.WorkItemType], [System.Id]";

List<WorkItem> w = getWorkItemsAsList(_workItemStore.Query(WIQL));

I have found examples of wiql queries that have [Assignet To] in attributes list,

SELECT [System.Id], [System.Title], [Area Path], [Iteration Path], [Priority], [Test Owner], [Assigned To],[System.State], [System.Reason]
FROM WorkItems
WHERE [System.WorkItemType] = 'Feature' and
      [Iteration Path] != '' and
      [Area Path] Under 'MyProject'

but each time such wiql query is executed it returns array of WorkItems without desired property. Therefore my original problem remains.

What to do?

Answer 1

The AssignedTo Property is nested inside another property: Fields. You can key into that fields collection by referenceName (System.AssignedTo, in this case), something like wi.Fields["System.AssignedTo"].Value where wi is a WorkItem. You can also use Linq to operate on the entire WorkItemCollection instead of on a single work item, if that's what you're after.
