We use configuration files within various projects under source control (TFS), where each developer has to make some adjustments in his local copy to configure his environment. The build process takes care about replacing the config files with the server configuration as a part of the deployment, so it doesn't actually matter what is in ...
My project's manager assigned me to maintain the builds, but it's my first contact with MSBuild, so things are being somewhat hard, as most first contacts. :) I've been struggling to get MSBuild/Team Build to copy some files to my project's "bin" folder, but had no sucess until now. The files are kept on a folder that we use as a reposit...
HI, We are a small TDD team. We have a LCD screen mounted on the wall which we would like to have display the status of our builds together with current code coverage. Are there any tools that will provide this out ot the box? If not is this pretty straight forward to develop on our own? We are using TFS 2008. Cheers! ...
I have created an Excel 2007 Add-In and I would like to add a test project to test the code. I know I should do TDD but I did not know about TDD before hand :). I searched and found that I need to create a host adapter: Creating and Using Host Adapters. The samples from the SDK, however, are a "little" over my head. Has anyone already ...
Hi, Ok, I know this isnt a programming question, but I think its really important to understand the differences to be a more productive developer...so please don't close this question!! And yes, I do feel stupid for asking this question! Have only ever worked with the Prof edition of VS 2005/2008. Now that we have a team of 6 people,...
Currently storing database of a large application with 2,000 stored procedures in Visual Studio Database Edition. The problem I'm having is that when I try and edit a stored procedure, Visual Studio becomes unresponsive and it can take 30 seconds to type in a single keyword. What I believe is that Visual Studio is attempting to auto re...

Every release I find it a good practice to go back and grab all the changeset notes to compare to the release notes to make sure we didn't miss anything. Since we have a blurb of all feature changes pretty well documented in the changeset notes, they're a valuable resource. What I haven't found is a good way to extract these from TFS 2...

When I run my MSTest tests in Visual Studio 2008 Team System and get code coverage results, I always see a particular web service included. I don't care how well this web service is tested, I'm intentionally only using a small part of it. How can I exclude the Web Reference from showing up in my Code Coverage results? I see that someo...
I have a Project Collection setup in my TFS2010RC deployment. I have two Projects setup under this collection with their own task lists, which are populated with data. I fully expected the tasks from these individual projects to "roll up" and appear in the task list at the Project Collection level, but they do not. The Project Collectio...

I try: Test > New Test > Unit Test Wizard and it says "unable to load or locate assembly" Why is this so? Am I missing something. My web project is uploaded here if you need to take a look....
I'm trying to configure automated build of BizTalk 2009 projects using Team Foundation Server 2008. We have a staging server which has BizTalk 2009 installed. I ran the Team Foundation Server Build Setup on this server, and it can build non-BizTalk projects OK. However, BizTalk projects fail to build. I suspected something was amiss whe...
If taken from a developers perspective, what would my team and I gain from using Visual Studio Team System and Visual Studio Team Foundation Server? I can see some features and the like, but what have you gained from using the two versus using VS Professional and SVN (for a weak example). If there are any good links that you know of, pl...

When i try to check-in displays that files are identical and check-in undone by server. what is the reason of this behaviour? ...
We have distributed team with client and contractor term in different location. The client has sufficient license for TFS system and they use it for development. We do not have sufficient license to use the TFs so we use the local Subversion and it works fine. The problem is merging the two source is always painful. Any tips shall be a...

Hey all, here is the issue I am currently trying to work through. We are using Team Foundation Server 2008, and utilizing the automated build support out of the box. We have one very large project that encompasses a number of interrelated components and web sites, each of which is set up as a Visual Studio solution file. Many of the...
