vs extensibility - Where is Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.dll in Visual Studio 2015

Question

I'm migrating my own TFS logging extension to VS 2015 and run into many dependency issues. Most of them I was able to get rid off by installing Microsoft.TeamFoundationServer.ExtendedClient nuget package.

However there's still one missing reference, the VersionControlExtclass

versionControlExt =
                    _applicationObject.GetObject("Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.VersionControlExt")
                    as VersionControlExt;

According to documentation, it is located in Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.dll, but I can't find this file at all. Does anyone know where to get it from or how to change the above code to get it working with VS 2015?

I'm using Visual Studio 2015 Professional, 14.0.23107.0 D14REL version.

Ok, I've finally found the issue.

The one that is in GAC (c:WindowsMicrosoft.NETassemblyGAC_MSILMicrosoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.VersionControl) is the old version (11.0.50727.1) of the library. It gets there with VS 2015 installation, but it isn't the right one.

The one that is used by Visual Studio Team Explorer extension is located in c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0Common7IDEExtensionsoglzibax.qr0. It's version is 14.0.23102.0.

While I was trying to use the old one, I was constantly getting MissingMethodException.
