PowerShell and Team Foundation Server API

Team Foundation Server has a great API and you can use it to extend its capabilities or automatize tasks and so on. This API can be also used from PowerShell, which demonstrates this post. You have to know only how to use .NET from PowerShell. Following code uses TFS API to get count of new lines of code added in specified changeset:

   1:  ################################################################################

   2:  #

   3:  #  Get-AddedLinesCountInChangeset

   4:  #

If you use TFS 2005/2008 then specify only server url, when TFS 2010 then specify url including the collection.
