• Perseid Project structure and policies (best practices)

  I've seen a few questions on this thread about best practices and I don't think this is a repeat. I'm trying to understand the best way to structure my repository. In the past I've used both CVS and Subversion and I like the Subversion recommended way of doing things. They suggest having three sub-directories per project: trrunk, branches and tags. While VSTS doesn't have version tagging I still like the idea of having trunk and branches, as th ...Show All

I dont have this problem when I build the solution manually. Any ideas on why when w ...Show All

• ovatsus Task gap - From Add Existing Team Project to Creating Workspace

  The Team Explorer guides me along really nicely in terms of connecting to a TF server for the first time and then select a project.  However, once I have that project added all the folders are grayed out in the Source Control explorer.  I knew I needed to "get latest version" of the files in the team project into my workspace.  I knew I needed to create a workspace but I was having a hard time finding it in the VS UI.  I ...Show All

• Carlos J. Quintero Is it possible to queue Team Builds?

  Is there a way to make the build server queue build requests instead of running them simultaneously   We have had several problems with builds hanging during initialization, hanging during building, or completing the build process but failing to drop to the network when two builds are competing. I have considered writing a task that will wait on a mutex at the start of every build, but thought maybe I had better ask if MSFT had ...Show All

• Andrei Coler Can hidden field detection be disabled in recorder?

  We have this ASP.NET application that is written a bit unconventionally. We use a lot of hidden fields, and the fact that they are "detected" and remapped makes testing awfully difficult. I see the recorder records the correct values, but everything is remapped when the data is transferred into VS 2005. Can anyone help Am I simply missing the blindingly obvious Let me elaborate slightly on the workaround.  ...Show All

• jimson SQL2005 Named Instance

  I have seen several posts regarding the lack of support for SQL Server named instances and the fact that TFS also only supports extending the default web site for WSS. Several MS folks that I spoke with said that these issues would be address by RTM, but this does not appear to be the case.

• Meilssa Custom Rule McCabe's Cyclomatic complexity.

  Cyclomatic complexity considered a broad measure of soundness and confidence for a program. Thomas McCabe introduced in 1976, it measures the number of linearly-independent paths through a program module. Unfortunately FxCop does not have any built-in rule for identifying Cyclomatic complexity. If anybody had already implemented any custom rule, let us share it in this forum. I am working on my version. But I am facing some probl ...Show All
