Get the latest check in number (latest changeset id)

Question

Is there a way to get programmatically latest changeset version in general.

It's fairly easy to get changeset id for certain file :

var tfs = TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.GetTeamProjectCollection(new Uri("https://my.tfs.com/DefaultCollection"));
        tfs.EnsureAuthenticated();
        var vcs = tfs.GetService<VersionControlServer>();

and then call GetItems or QueryHistory, but i would like to know what was the last checkin number.

Answer 1

You can do it like this:

var latestChangesetId =
    vcs.QueryHistory(
        "$/",
        VersionSpec.Latest,
        0,
        RecursionType.Full,
        String.Empty,
        VersionSpec.Latest,
        VersionSpec.Latest,
        1,
        false,
        true)
        .Cast<Changeset>()
        .Single()
        .ChangesetId;

Answer 2

Use VersionControlServer.GetLatestChangesetId to get the latest changeset id, as mentioned by user tbaskan in the comments.

_{(In the TFS Java SDK it's VersionControlClient.getLatestChangesetId)}
