Please port AutoMerge to VS 2019. I am a regular user of Auto Merge but keep having to use VS 2017 in order to work on our project's bug fixes just for the AutoMerge feature.

the good news is, it's doable :) I forgot to fork first before branching for a VS2019 build.

  • update the projects to .net framework 4.7.2
  • uninstall the tfs libs/packages, and reinstall them using the latest preview packages (might not need preview by the time you read this, but VS2019 was just RTM'd a couple hours ago at the time of this comment)
  • might have to install the Microsoft.TeamFoundationServer.ExtendedClient package (I did, but not sure if there's a cleaner approach as it added a lot)
  • manually reference the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Controls DLL from the VS2019 IDE installation (the NuGet packages didn't seem to include it)
  • poke and prod as such till errors go away

I'm running AutoMerge in VS 2019 now
