API for creating a new folder in Shared Queries through C # in TFS 2013

Question

Hi ,
          Is it possible to create a new folder in "Shared Queries" in Team foundation Server 2013 by using C#. I'm able to access the queries and even modify them by using the StoredQuery class and
the QueryText function . We had a case to create a new folder in the Shared Queries part of the project.
          I have been and I am still looking for classes / api's that will enable me to do this .Any pointers to help me would be greatly appreciated.
         Do let me know if I have to provide more information.
Regards,
Arun

Hi Arun,  
Thanks for your post.
To create new folder under Shared Queries, you can try below code snippet:
TfsTeamProjectCollection tfs =
new
TfsTeamProjectCollection(new
Uri("collectionURL"));
tfs.EnsureAuthenticated();
WorkItemStore workitemstore = tfs.GetService<WorkItemStore>();
var queryHierarchy = workitemstore.Projects["teamprojectname"].QueryHierarchy;
QueryFolder currentLocation = queryHierarchy["Shared
Queries"]
as
QueryFolder;
var folder =
new
QueryFolder("foldername");
currentLocation.Add(folder);
currentLocation = folder;
queryHierarchy.Save();
For more information, please refer to the example in this article:
