I want to call TFS Charts in my .NET application which will display output in CRM Online.
Is it possible to display visualstudion online or TFS charts outside if so please let me know how can it be achived
is there any api to access TFS charts
There is no way currently to lied the charts out of VSO or TFS. However you have fun access to the days through the TFS object model and VSO rest API. So you can use either to build your own charts.
I would recommend the rest API as It is much more performant. The rest API will be in TFS 2015.

So I'm currently trying to update the small Team Picture in MS Teams with Power Automate using the Microsoft Graph API (Update profilePhoto). After some hours of trying I can't figure out, how to use it correctly. Here's my current version of the flow step
Unable to create a Requirements based Test Suite using TFS .NET API nor the REST API in TFS 2015. Using the TFS web portal this is possible.
I understand the reason why the API's fail, which is that the EPIC work items I'm using are not in the "Requirement Category." However, the TFS web portal lets me use these same EPIC work item as the requirement for a requirements based test suite. Go figure?
Since the project I'm working on involves a Fortune 500 company it is no simple feat to add EPICs to the "Requirement Category." Since the TFS web portal uses some kind of work-around I'm wondering if someone can clue me in as to how it's being done, and if I can take advantage of it using the .NET or REST APIs.
Thanks
I could reproduce your issue on my side. According to the REST api of Create a test suite, parameter requirementIds supports categories of requirement type are: Epic, Feature, Requirement, and Bug. But REST api can not support Epic work items actually:
I have report a feedback at website below, we will get response soon:

To be clear, I am not asking about about version control, or capabilities of the back end, but the front with the tie in with the interested parties. (Contributors, Viewers, Users)
Would those that work with both TFS and VSTS, would you say that TFS and VSTS have all the same "Visual" components (comparable version coalition) with the difference of placement being:
TFS is to SERVER (Designated/Local Server)
VSTS is to CLOUD (Online servers)
I have read all of the comparable but none talk to this aspect that I can find.
i.e. do you see the same portal pages and project counter parts in TFS as you do in VSTS?
Suggest you first go through the official doc from MSDN: Understand differences between VSTS and TFS
VSTS is the cloud offering that provides a scalable, reliable, and globally available hosted service. It is backed by a 99.9% SLA,
monitored by our 24-7 operations team, and available in local data
centers around the world.
Team Foundation Server is the on-premises offering built on a SQL Server backend. Organizations typically choose on-premises TFS when
they need their data to stay within your network, or they want access
to SharePoint sites and SQL Server reporting services that integrate
with TFS data and tools.
Fundamental differences between TFS and VSTS
Scope and scale data
Authentication
Users and groups
Manage user access
Security and data protection
Key feature differences between VSTS and TFS
Process customization
Reporting
You could review the details for the front with the tie in with the interested parties. (Contributors, Viewers, Users)
Back to your question, *do they have the same Project pages to display to users? * It's basically the same, most new features are released to Visual Studio Team Services first and are integrated into Team Foundation Server with a bit of a delay. Some features are available in VSTS which depend on cloud resources, so they're not likely to move to TFS anytime soon.
Also take a look at this similar question: Future of TFS vs VSTS
My company is using Netsuite to track defects and requests. I would like to use Visual Studio online to keep track of my sprint and port the defects and requests into the backlog. Is this possible?
You may be able to use VSO's Service Hooks.
I know TFS has a web server that gets installed with it, and that's great. I know it integrates very tightly, and very well with Sharepoint, and that's also great.
What I'd like to know though, is since the WSDL's for TFS are public, essentially making the API to send and receive data from it public as well; are there any alternate, non-Microsoft interfaces to TFS that provide most or all of the functionality, with consumer-driven enhancements, such as charting, or reporting solutions not found out of the box?
I've searched the almighty Google and Bing, and they are proving very difficult to find answers from.
You can create your own solution using SharePoint Enterprise edition and a combination of Excel Services reports and SQL Server Reporting Services reports; A SharePoint solution is the closest you'll find to something.
You can use the TFS SDK and object model to create your own application, but most people don't go very deep because Microsoft's Web Access tool is a capable client tool for most teams. There were also major improvements just released in the new TFS 2012. In fact Web Access started out as a 3rd party tool and there are some ways you can extend it.
There is one app I know of off the top of my head that has a web interface to TFS that is very simple; it can be found at http://techdayskanban.codeplex.com
There is also an example of extending the TFS Web Access at http://tfstimesheet.codeplex.com
Codeplex is a good place to check around because it is open source.
A commercial example of a product that extends Web Access can be found at http://urbanturtle.com though It seems you are looking for something more stand-alone.
