I work in VS2008 Team. I get the latest version from the team server. I try to compile the new version, but VS2008 somehow tries to compile the previous version. Even though I restart my PC, the VS does not compile the latest version, but the previous one. What am I doing wrong? ...
I am the only the Developer in a relatively small shop that does make a lot of custom apps of all kinds. Money is not a factor in this discussion so aside from that What are some reason's, for and against, for me to use the Team System. We currently rely heavily on VS2008 Pro, Visual Source Safe. I could really use a better Source ...
I have a scenario where I want to call one TFS build from another, the first one does the build and the second one does staging. This will allow me do multiple custom staging for the same solution. I know, I can pull this off with an exec task in the second build and call tfsbuild.exe to queue a build from the first build definition. Bu...
I would like to get email notifications whenever a check in is done into Team Server. We have Team foundation server 2005. Is there a way to do that there? I know that the 2008 version has such a feature. ...
In SourceSafe I could "get the latest version" and work on my PC without checking the webform out. When finished I could double-check if anyone worked on it and then decide whether to check it in or not. In Visual Studio 2008 Team Server, whenever I start working on a form it checks it out automatically. How do I work on a form without ...
Has anyone ever found other ways to get a file's commit history outside of solution explorer? It's really annoying that history is so stagnant because it is a really helpful view. I just wish it would show the current file. Here is the use case. I build my gigantic solution, find random errors in files I have never heard of and want to...
I've just started using Team Foundation Server and have added a new Solution that contains a project of type class library. I need to add a reference to the new class library project to an existing class library (dll) that we have created. What is the best way to do this? I've noticed that if I try to add it from the original location...
I would like to modify the Team Foundation Server built-in MS Agile template reports to exclude weekends. For example, here is the dsWorkItemHistory dataset for the Remaining Work report: WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Date Key] AS [Date].[Date].CurrentMember.UniqueName SELECT { [Measures].[Date Key], [Measures].[Cumulative Cou...
We use VSTS 2008 with SP1 and GDR R2 installed. Found the next problem: 2 identical databases (for example Database1 and Database2); Database1 is a working database, Database2 is a production one; adding a new stored procedure to the Database1 with comments (description, author etc. before the CREATE PROCEDURE statement); trying to c...
I know there is an easy way to do this with SVN so there must be a similar way with TFS. Basically, I want to have a list of every file a particular username ever edited (IE: checked out & changed or added). This is on TFS 2008. ...
When I queue two builds from the same Team Project, the first one starts immediately and the second is queued to run after the first is complete. However, when queuing two builds from different projects, they both start immediately. Is it possible to use this "queue" feature for builds from more than one project? I would like every bu...
I've been using VS 2008 for several months now and received a copy of VSTS 08 from work and installed without any issues. I upgraded VS 08 to VSTS 08 by running the VSTS installer without uninstalling VS 08. A few hours of after the install, I attempted to create a snippet in a VB project (Try Catch: Ctrl+K,Ctrl+X) and nothing happened. ...
I've installed the Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition Power Tools but can't see Unit Tests Conditions ChecksumCondition & ExpectedSchemaTestCondition I believe that it installed OK & I can see the new refactor commands so at least a part of it worked. Is there something I need to do to get the 2 new test conditions to disp...
I want to set up TFS permissions to better reflect the responsibilities and levels of clearance of different roles within my organization; I'm finding that the default Reader and Contributor groups are too coarse-grained for my needs (and too loosely named). To keep maintenance overheads to a minimum, I'm therefore thinking of replacing...
i am trying to compare two databases on my SQL Server 2008 using the VSTS Db edition schema compare. I am getting an error "schema comparison not supported for sql 2008". ...
I work on a growing web team that needs to adopt a Source Control system. We looked into Source Safe, but were put off by it's lack of SQL Server source control. The Visual Studio Team System range looks like it does the trick, in terms of source code + database - but I must admit to be confused by the various versions. So my questions...
I am trying to access connectionstrings from the config file. The code is ASP.NET + C#. I have added System.Configuration to reference and also mentioned with using. But, still it wouldn't accept the assembly. I am using VSTS 2008. Any idea what could be the reason? Another weird thing is the assembly name shown as "System.configuration...
I recently started using Team Foundation Server, and am having some trouble getting it to work the way I want it to. I've used Subversion for a couple years now, and love the way it works. I always set up three folders under each project, Trunk, Tags, and Branches. When I'm working on a project, all my code lives under a folder called...
Is there any way to easily create a workspace, based on a pre-existing "template" one? ...or some other way of creating workspace on behalf of others? ...
Consider these 2 machines: #1: Full SQL Server 2008 without Team Explorer (test SQL box) #2: Development box with Visual Studio 2008 SP1 with Team Explorer I use Team Foundation Server 2008 and would like to check SSIS projects into source control. Do I need to install BIDS as a separate Visual Studio 2008 shell in my machine #2? I ...
