Answer 1

Here is an example that will retrieve a list of Team Projects for a given Team Project Collection (TPC) in TFS 2010:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var results = GetTfsProjects(new Uri("http://mytfsserver:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection"));
}

private static List<string> GetTfsProjects(Uri tpcAddress)
{
    var tpc = TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.GetTeamProjectCollection(tpcAddress);

    tpc.Authenticate();

    var workItemStore = new WorkItemStore(tpc);
    var projectList = (from Project pr in workItemStore.Projects select pr.Name).ToList();

    return projectList;
}

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

try this

var TeamProjectCollection = TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.GetTeamProjectCollection(teamProjectCollectionUrl);
var commonStruct = TeamProjectCollection.GetService<ICommonStructureService>();
var teamProjectInfos = commonStruct.ListAllProjects();

good luck
