TFS API - Updating a work item field

Question

Is it possible to update a field of a work item using the TFS API ?

Something along this line:

WorkItemStore.GetWorkItem(Convert.ToInt32(current.WorkItemId)).State = rcbState.SelectedValue;

`WorkItem.State` is read/write so try it and see what happens. Just remember to call [WorkItem.Save](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb140425.aspx) when you're done with it. — M.Babcock, Mar 09 '12 at 19:30

You can set update your WorkItem properties as you show above, just be sure to save them once your done with it.

Something like:

WorkItem item = WorkItemStore.GetWorkItem(Convert.ToInt32(current.WorkItemId));
item.State = rcbState.SelectedValue;
item.Save();
