Work item types in TFS 2010; Where are the XML files stored?

I am trying to add a new work item type. Where the heck are the XML files that define these?

I don't see them in solution explorer, they aren't in the file system on the TFS server, so where the heck are they?

I am following instructions from Microsoft but it doesn't say where to look

Solution

  • Do you have your XML and are trying to deploy it? Reading the link you posted, it looks like you deploy the work item types by using the witadmin utility. The link to instructions to witadmin is below and under the references section of the instructions you gave a link to.
