I've a problem when migrate work item between two projects in two separate team project collections like below:

I used TFS SDK to collect work item from source project and copy to target project by wi.Save() method.

It throw System.Unauthorizedaccessexcception** (TF201038:Linked work item does not exist or access is denied. See Work Item Permissions for Links...) 

InnerException**:System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException-> Failed to modify links. The following linked work items do not exist or access is denied: % LinkFailues=\"-3,273123,...

Although it run well if I copy wi between 2 projects in the same team project collection

I think it's a permission error but I can't find any solution available.

Maybe sharing some code where an exception is thrown would be useful. - bytebuster

I don't think you're supposed to be able to do this. Certainly it's not supported in the normal interface, but I assume you know this as you're not using that :)

However, according to http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsintegration/thread/96a49b98-94b3-40b7-bb54-0e3be83b550b/ it can be done, see his link to his blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/willy-peter_schaub/archive/2011/10/20/tfs-integration-tools-can-i-migrate-all-work-items-from-one-team-project-collection-to-another.aspx says it can be done
