For a solo developer using Visual Studio 2010 beta 2 is TFS Basic a better option than Subversion (with VisualSVN or Ankh) and (optionally) something like Cruisecontrol? I don't need distributed source or even remote access. I don't really care about drilldowns and all that reporting. I just want version control & potentially automated...
I just installed VS2010 Beta 2. When it opens for the first time it gives me a security error that "use source server only if you trust the origin blah blah". At this time VS crashes. VS itself comes up normally, but since the source server alert pops up, it is in a modal window, so VS stops accepting input until I dismiss the alert, whi...
Should I start using VS2010 Beta 2 for development work now? What reasons are there for and against? ...
Hi, I am in the process of upgrading an existing VS Integration Project to 2010 Beta2. The project uses Spring. The Initialize() code in the VSPkg.cs includes a call that tries to access an XML file that contains some context settings. The xml file properties are set to the Build Action = Content and Copy to Output Directory = Copy alway...
I was wondering: are you satisfied with the text-rendering in the Visual Studio 2010 editor (Beta 2)? On my primary monitor it looks very blurred, even when using font size 12! When using font size 10 or 11 it's horrible. Can the WPF text rendering mode be set explicitly for VS code window? EDIT: I am using Windows 7 x64 and my primary...
Half a year ago, I tried Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1, but it was still way too buggy for production use. However, I really like some of the new features - Should I bother installing Beta 2 or is it still too buggy? ...
Consider a fresh install of Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. In this case, the web-downloader was used, but that's unlikely relevant. The Visual Studio Command Prompt is missing. I had expected it to be there, just like 2005 & 2008. The intention is to call aspnet_regsql without having to navigate to its path at c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\F...
There's no obvious entry point for implementing a custom provider for an ADO.NET Data Service using IDataServiceMetadataProvider, and then telling a Data Service to use that provider. Has anyone had any luck in this area? I've tried implementing this interface on my Data Source class, but none of my breakpoints are hit. There is also no ...
I just installed the beta for VS2010 Ultimate and I cannot locate the ADO.NET Entity Data Model template. I was under the impression that it as installed, can someone correct this or direct me where I can find it? Thanks. ...
When running a site in debug mode on 2010 I get incredible slow performance when cassini serves static files. According to Firebug it takes about 1 seconds for each request to resolve on 20 2kb images. I haven't changed any settings, just have done a straight up install followed by converting a couple of projects. Rebooted the comp...
I have recently installed VS 2010 beta2 and trying to execute the File.BatchNewTeamProject command as a process in my application. It worked fine in Beta1 but for some reason, I am getting an error regarding permissions to create new sharepoint sites. I am a member of Sharepoint web application services and Administrators groups. Previ...
Is it safe to use the beta versions of Visual Studio? By safe I mean, while developing any project in this studio, is it probable that it may cause some losses to my project? Or any other kind of risk? Should I just use the studio 2008 and wait for the stable version of Studio 2010? Purpose of the question: I am doing my gradu...
I am in the process of evaluating Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 and looking for possible replacements for current our data access layer. The Entity Framework looks like a promising replacement to the data retrieval functionality in our applications. Does anyone have a great walk-through/tutorial that demonstrates how to use the Entity Fram...
In the test results under VS 2010, the Error message column is not very wide. If I widen the column, the error message is still truncated, less than the length of the column. It will say "Test method threw exception ..." Usually the part after the ellipses is what I am interested in. The only way to see the rest is to open up the t...
Hello! I recently created a very nice UML Class diagram inside Visual Studio 2010 (b2). The tools worked like a charm and I was able to model a rather complex domain within minutes. However, I cannot find any way to export my diagram as an image (PNG/JPEG/etc.). Does the modelling features in VS2010 support exporting diagrams as image...
I was reading 'Want Speed? Pass by Value' on the C++ Next blog and created the following program to get a feel for copy elision and move semantics in C++0x: http://pastebin.com/f39c826c6 However I am perplexed by one thing. Here is the output I get when compiled in release mode on Visual C++ 10.0 (Beta 2): Move assign from RVO: ...
Hi, Our project is currently developed in C#2 , VS2005. We were thinking of migrating to VS2008 and C#3. Do you think it might be a better idea to move directly to VS2010 instead? We do not plan to release the new version till the end of next year. Is there any advantage in moving from vs05 to vs08 and then moving to vs10? thanks!...
Hi I am trying to trigger a build through the TFS API. First, I select the necessary changesets I want, then create a label for them, and then execute a selective build of these changesets. I get the following error message : TFB210503: An error occurred while initializing a build for build definition \Test\Label Changesets: TF14064: C...
I have a WCF Service library written in .NET 4.0. I have a WCF application (in order to host this service in IIS) within the same solution. It contains the WCF library assembly reference and a service.svc file pointing to the service from the library along with a web.config that is a replica of the WCF service library's app.config. The W...
Suppose I have a list of changesets 1 to 10. Is it possible to specify that it build till changeset no. 5, instead of building just for a particular changeset or all the changesets 1-10? I know It's possible to specify a particular version of the files to build, like changesetId,Date,Label,latest and workspace versions. So how do I spe...
