What are the basic minimum set of Code Analysis rules that you would recommend for a 200K LOC solution? We're using unit testing but code analysis has been turned off. Ideally all rules would be turned on by default but I'd like to do this gently and turn on rules in batches so we do not have to deal with everything at once. So, what r...
I've got a .NET 3.5 class lib that I am trying to write some automated tests for but I'm getting the following error when running any tests in the solution: Test method Common.Tests.CommonTests.TestMethod1 threw exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Library.Common, Version=0.0.1.22004, Culture=...
My application contains a piece of code that executes inside of Component Services, so we need to register our business rules layer (and its dependencies) in the GAC. One of those dependencies is FooCore.dll, which contains classes and services visible to the entire app. Everything was working fine, until I added a new method to a class...
I'm a big fan of TFS, but unfortunately they seem to have omitted any sort of method of linking to individual items (be they work items, documents, or files under version control). This blog post discusses using TSWA Power Tools to link directly to things (which is useful for building linkified notification emails), but that is not suff...
Does anyone have any strategies/tips/traps for moving to Team System? Should it be done in baby steps, or all at once? Should we migrate our SourceSafe library over, or draw a line in the sand and move forward? Is it worth brining SharePoint into the mix? Any thoughts are appreciated. ...
Hi All, We have TFS installed in a US server. We need to login into VPN to access the TFS server. TFS is configured to use with company's domain user account. However my system is part of the domain. Hence I couldn't access the TFS. I have Visual Studio Team System Developer edition. Can someone here help how to access TFS server instal...

Web Team focused on public facing websites - using Adobe Suite, VSStudio 2005. As mentioned team 1 have TFS- we dont do daily/wee...
With which version(s) of VS2008/VSTS can I work with .dbproj files? ...
For some reason the system admin changed my user name from XxXx to XxXx1 in the source control system. Then the problems started. I had to delete all local files and re-download them from source control just to open the project. And after I had rebooted the computer, I can't do much to my files. Whenever I try to undo a checkout I get t...
Is there a way to set a maximum size for files that can be check in into source control under Team Foundation Server 2005 or 2008? In the past, when we worked with SourceSafe there were several cases were developers decided to checkin a 500mb data file to source control. I don't know what such a thing will do to TFS - and actually, I ...
There is the classic MSF Agile and MSF CMMI that are coming by default with VSTS. However, I saw that there is Scrum Light on CodePlex and a Scrum Process by Conchango. How good are those? Are you using any of those? What are your customization that you do? Are they taken as is? ...
After installing the VSTS Database GDR and importing a SQL Server 2005 database that includes the ASP.NET provider schema tables, I get the following warnings: TSD04151: Procedure: [dbo].[aspnet_Users_DeleteUser] has an unresolved reference to object [dbo].[sysobjects].[name]. TSD04151: Procedure: [dbo].[aspnet_Users_DeleteUser] has an...
Visual Studio has certainly gone from strength to strength since humble Visual Studio 6 (and previous renditions). There seems to be a lot more coming in Visual Studio 2010 (based on blogs, the PDC and the more recent CTP virtual machines). The recent Service Pack 1 seemed to introduce some really intriguing new functionality and enhan...
Hi, I'm using VSTS Database Edition GDR Version 9.1.31024.02 I've got a project where we will be creating multiple databases with identical schema, on the fly, as customers are added to the system. It's one DB per customer. I thought I should be able to use the deploy script to do this. Unfortunately I always get the full filenames spec...
Our company is transitioning code from VS 2005. I know they won't be able to use VS 2008 to access it, but we have the patch to enable web access for TFS 2008 applied to our TFS server. This means they can access the source code via the web, but do the work in VS 2005. The code will eventually be rewritten in VS 2008, but we need to...
I am unit testing a .NET application (.exe) that uses an app.config file to load configuration properties. The unit test application itself does not have an app.config file. When I try to unit test a method that utilizes any of the configuration properties, they return null. I'm assuming this is because the unit test application is ...
Hi, I'm using Visual Studio Team System 2008 and I want to be able to have the 'Reason' field always enabled for work items. Currently, the 'Reason' drop down is only enabled when changing the 'State'. Once you perform a 'Save' the 'Reason' drop down becomes disabled. I've tried doing this by modifying the process template, but it can...
I have developed a build system on MSBuild (NET 3.0) and cc.net to perform continuous integration builds of a Visual Studio 2008 application, however a developer on the team recently added a VSTS unit test project to the mix. Is there any SDK or add-in provided by microsoft to allow this to be compiled on a non-team system build environ...
I've modified the Agile task template in TFS to include a new 'In Progress' state. When work is started on an item the 'assigned user' will set the task from 'Active' to 'In Progress'. This helps me to know which tasks have been started. I was, however, thinking that I might be able to use this new state to figure out how long things ...
I have a multi-project solution. I believe it is best practice to put all externally referenced assemblies (e.g. OSS stuff) in a folder that is on the relative path of the solution and it's component projects. I'd like to create a real folder called Libs within the same Windows folder that contains my .sln file and add it to source con...
