Implementation

The code for a check-in policy is really simple:

1. First, make the BigChangesCheckInPolicy class inherit from PolicyBase:

   public class BigChangesCheckInPolicy : PolicyBase
   {
   }

2. You will also need to add the following using statement:

   using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client;

3. Now, we'll implement the methods that are required by the abstract methods in PolicyBase. Let's first use the following code to describe our policy:

   public override string Description => 
         "The Big Changes Checkin Policy makes sure that if you "+
         "make lots of changes you are adding a work item to "+
         "the check-in";
   public override string Type =>
         "Big Changes Checkin Policy [Dialog Box]";
   public override string TypeDescription =>
         "The Big Changes Checkin Policy makes sure that if you " +
         "make lots of changes you are adding a work item to " +
         "the check-in [Dialog Box]";
   public override bool Edit(IPolicyEditArgs policyEditArgs) => 
             true...
