I’ve posted this more as a reminder to myself next time I create TFSJobAgent plugins.
If you ever encounter the error below when adding a new TFSJobAgent plugin:

The above error was caused by me having more than one copy of my component in the plugins folder
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 11.0\Application Tier\TFSJobAgent\plugins
You’re probably wondering how this is possible? I actually had another folder in the plugins folder with a copy of my component. The TFSJobAgent uses reflection to find all components that implement the ITeamFoundationJobExtension interface at runtime this includes all subfolders under the plugins directory.
