Groove 2007 and Team Systems

[Mark]

In what ways can Groove help Visual Studio Team System? I am still new and
learning about Team Systems. I just wanted to ask the question as is and let
anyone that know guide me on any information or ideas about Groove and Team
system.

I have seen a few threads about Groove and InfoPath and so I assume Groove
2007 has some support for InfoPath. I have also seen where there seems to be
some InfoPath support in Team System. InfoPath is not really what I want to
target but how could users take advantage or use both Groove and Team System
for development.

Hi Mark,

Based on my experience, Groove 2007 has integrated with InfoPath. We can
export the existing InfoPath Forms into Groove to use it direclty.

For detailed information, please refer to the "Groove Forms and Infopath"
part in the following link:

Then, for the development aspect, based on my experience, the Groove 2007
SDK (Beta) contains documentation, WSDL, and sample code for applications
that use Groove Web Services. In addition, the SDK contains developer
documentation for the Groove 2007 Forms and Groove 2007 InfoPath Forms
tools.The SDK requests:

Microsoft Groove 2007 (Beta 2)
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0

You can download the Groove 2007: Software Development Kit and check the
detailed info from:

I hope the above information will be helpful.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Shirley

It is possible to use Web Services to read/write information into Groove
workspaces and tools. Team System has some Web Services too that allows
to read content.

In this context, it is possible to develop an application to synchronize
Groove and Team System (By example, to export WorkItems form Team System
to a Groove Forms tool)
