Is this still relevant?

[ToddBeaulieu]

I'm evaluating 2018, both on-prem and VSTS. Particularly, I want to be able to customize WITs, including custom controls that talk to REST services. I'm finding it incredibly difficult to find relevant information on this. Keeping up with MS's constantly changing strategy is like cat-herding.

This project is titled "vsts", which implies it's for Azure TFS, yet, VSTS doesn't support exporting and importing WITS via witadmin.exe. Right????

I've tried getting a custom control hosted locally without any luck, either. Very few current write-ups on it, and I can't get it to work: When I display the WIT I get:

Could not load type 'MyTfs.Controls.ClientPicker' from assembly 'MyTfs.Controls, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

Any current guidance or resources would be greatly appreciated!
