Input directly user info when query work items

Question

When code run into line 2, Windows will show a popup to input username, password for TFS access:

TeamProjectCollection = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(new Uri(url), new UICredentialsProvider());
TeamProjectCollection.Connect(Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Common.ConnectOptions.IncludeServices);
TeamProjectCollection.EnsureAuthenticated();
IsConnected = true;

Have any way to assign username, password automatically without login from popup of windows.

Thanks.

When it prompts for credentials, that means that the credentials that the process is running under do not have permission to the server. — Buck Hodges, Mar 07 '13 at 13:50

If you want to directly insert user credentials and not use the one the process is running, the following worked for me:

WindowsCredential credentials = new WindowsCredential(new NetworkCredential(username, domain, password), new MyCredentials(username, domain, password));
TfsTeamProjectCollection connectedTPC = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(tfsUrl, new TfsClientCredentials(credentials));

It's a bit strange to provide credentials two times, but without the MyCredentials I will get no answer from TFS, not sure why.

public class MyCredentials : ICredentialsProvider
{
    private NetworkCredential credentials;
    #region ICredentialsProvider Members
    public MyCredentials(string user, string domain, string password)
    {
        credentials = new NetworkCredential(user, password, domain);
    }

    public ICredentials GetCredentials(Uri uri, ICredentials failedCredentials)
    {
        return credentials;
    }

    public void NotifyCredentialsAuthenticated(Uri uri)
    {
        // who cares
    }

    #endregion
}
