• beelzeboris Team Explorer doesn't respect filesystem encryption settings

  I've got an encrypted folder (called 'Dev') on my laptop where the source is stored. When Team Explorer creates subfolders within the 'Dev' folder the folders are encrypted, but the files it creates are not. I've done this in the past with Source Safe and it worked fine, but it appears that when Team Explorer places a file on the file system it doesn't respect the folder settings for encryption. Even if I manually set the file to be encrypted, t ...Show All

If a webproject has a project refenrece to a class library project where XML documentation is enabled the following (rather irritating) behaviour is observed: The xml file gets added to the webproject and/pr needs to be checked out.

• Przemo2 Whidbey FxCop 1.32 ignores certain methods ?

  Does the Whidbey FxCop 1.32 have built in intelligence for ignoring certain methods I ask because I have various rules which check ASP.NET generated assemblies. They run fine using the .NET Framework 1.1 FxCop 1.32 but when I run them on ASP.NET 2 assemblies using the Whidbey FxCop 1.32 none of the private generated methods are visited. This makes me wonder if they are being deliberately excluded. Guy An excell ...Show All
