Remarks
The DeleteWorkspaceTask task is defined in the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Tasks.VersionControl.dll. The Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets file contains an instance of the DeleteWorkspaceTask task that Team Foundation Build uses as a default implementation for the AfterGet target. You can also customize the build process by defining a different instance of the DeleteWorkspaceTask task for a build type in the TFSBuild.proj file.
The <root>:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\TeamBuild folder on the Team Foundation Build computer contains the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets file.
Example
The following example uses the DeleteWorkspaceTask task in the TFSBuild.proj file to delete the specified workspace.
<!-- Add the UsingTask to the top of the TFsBuild.proj file, right after the schema definition-->
<UsingTask TaskName="Microsoft.TeamFounadtion.Build.Tasks.DeleteWorkspaceTask"
AssemblyFile="$(TeamBuildRefPath)\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Tasks.VersionControl.dll" />
<!-- Add the following XML after the closing </ItemGroup>-->
<!-- and before the closing </Project>-->
</ItemGroup>
<PropertyGroup>
<WorkspaceName>MyWorkspace</WorkspaceName>
</PropertyGroup>
<TargetName="AfterGet">
< DeleteWorkspaceTask
TeamFoundationServerUrl="http://MyTFServer.8080"
Name="$(WorkspaceName)"/>
</Target>
</Project>
The following example shows the default instance of the DeleteWorkspaceTask task that is defined in the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets file.
<DeleteWorkspaceTask
Condition=" '$(CleanCompilationOutputOnly)' != 'true' "
TeamFoundationServerUrl="$(TeamFoundationServerUrl)"
Name="$(WorkspaceName)"
DeleteLocalItems="true" />
<DeleteWorkspaceTask
Condition=" '$(CleanCompilationOutputOnly)' == 'true' "
TeamFoundationServerUrl="$(TeamFoundationServerUrl)"
