• ZeDuncan TFS Beta 3 Refresh: Error 32000 and Error 26204

  Like so many others I experience problems while installing Team Foundation Server (B3R) – after resolving a lot of other problems on my own I get stuck with this one and need some help: “The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 26204”.   I investigated further in the VSMsiLog and found a hell of a lot of “ExecuteSqlStrings: & ...Show All

• Marcin Okraska Modest request regarding refreshes

  It would be nice to optionally have VS automatically update the status of source controlled files on some configurable interval. This would be especially useful for the icon indicators in Solution Explorer as they tend to get out of date (especially if a developer keeps a given project open for an extended period of time). When VS doesn't know the current status of a file it doesn't return the best messages/errors when you try to perform certain ...Show All

• Bryan Yoo Source Control Problems upgrading Beta3 Refresh to RC of TFS...

    We've been running Beta 3 of TFS happily for a few weeks. This week we upgraded our servers, first to Beta 3 Refresh - all ok. We then decided to upgrade to the latest CR. However, when we use Team Explorer on our client machines, we now get this message when we start VS2005: Package Load Failure: Package 'team foundation server provider stub package' has failed to load properly (GUID = {D79B7E0A-F994-4D4D-8FAE-CAE147279E2 ...Show All

• Ernie Thomason CA1062:ValidateArgumentsOfPublicMethods and "callbacks"

  I have a class that implements the System.Web.UI.ITemplate interface. I get the CA1062 warning on the implementation of public void InstantiateIn(Control container). I am wondering if I really should validate the argument. I know, it's a public, so everybody can call this method, but it stillsems a waste of time and performance to check for nul in this case. Should I make the implementation explicit Would that help Someone else wh ...Show All

• mariv Build of setup project fails unless absolute path of Visual Studio specified

  It looks like there might be a bug with providing a relative path (using an environment variable) when executing a command in <AfterCompile>. Here's the scenario: The first time I tried to build a setup project I got the following failure: Target AfterCompile: "\..\..\Common7\IDE\devenv" ..\Sources\ServerEPS_BINUpdate.sln /build Release /project CommonMergeModule The system cannot find the path specified.

• Kenneth LeFebvre Teambuild: Customizing the e-mail sent when a build completes.

  Hi all, I'm looking at customizing the email sent by TFS when a build completes. I found the XSL file defining the format of the mail (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Enterprise Server\BISIISDIR\bisserver\events\EventSchemas\BuildCompletionEvent.xsl) but how can I do the following: _ Change the subject of the mail (I would like to tag it with SUCCESS or FAILURE) _ Modify the XML on which the BuildCompletionEvent.XSL stylesheet is ...Show All

• cheeso Errors re-installing beta 3 refresh

  We installed Beta 3 refresh a few weeks ago, and all was working fine. However, we experienced some corruption outside of Team Foundation Server that caused us to have to reinstall Beta 3 Refresh - the reasons behind the need to reinstall are a bit shady at the moment - sorry! During the reinstall procedure, we keep receiving the following error: Error 32000: The CommandLine "F:\<path name>\createds.exe" /setup /install &qu ...Show All

• haricharan Availability of 3rd party templates for "Requirements"?

  Are there any 3rd party Process templates (for Import into TFS) that address the area of project Requirements tracking (Commercially available or in-development). Surprisingly, this key area is not represented at all in the MSF Agile process. Barkingdog I found that the CMMI template, not MSF Agile, includes a Requirements node. Not the full answer but part of my solution. Barkingdog ...Show All

• FirstDivision Unable to create project/manage security/users on VPC version

  I am trying to play around on the VPC version of TFS (the Nov 11 d/l from MSDN -- the beta 3 / VSTS RC version). I logged in as darren, but when I open up team explorer, the options to create a new team project are greyed out.  When I go to try to manage the server users, that's greyed out too. It seems that the darren user, while a local/domain admin, is not in an appropriate TFS role.  What user in the VPC image is in the correc ...Show All

• 2lazydba How can I force a rebuild?

  I'm wondering if there is some setting to force Visual Studio to rebuild before re-running a test, and then to use the latest built DLL. If I'm working on a small problem that is exposed by a failing test, I make a small code change and then right click my test in Test View and select Run. This used to (in Beta 2) cause a (re)build and the test would run the latest built DLL. As it is, I have to manually press Ctrl+Shift+B to build my project ...Show All

  Is "Check Out for Edit" behavior different depending upon multiple users vis-a-vis multiple workspaces For example, I modify a file in Workspace_1, check it in, and then switch to Workspace_2 (both workspaces are in my local machine and have the same file mapped). At this point, Workspace_2 has an older version of the file. If I now switch to Workspace_2 and do "Check out for Edit" , SCE shows a dialog box asking me ...Show All
