• Stuart Welwood Identify when a method is an operator overload.

  Is there a single property or something to get this info or should I just look at the name for "op_" I noticed some Flags on the operator method but didn't see anything in the Method.Flags enum to indicate an overloaded operator. Is there a RuleUtilities.IsX method available that I've overlooked spotting this type of method Thanks. Operator overloading isn't supported by all languages, and overloads don't have ...Show All

• Archana Kamath Encoding-Decoding: the " case

• carlsnilsson Upgrade from B3R to RTM: Possible database upgrade issue.

  After we upgraded from B3R to RTM, all Microsoft created Work Items, Queries and Reports work perfectly, and all our Work Item customizations work perfectly, as well. B3R was our initial installation version. That said, we ran into an issue with some of Conchango's SCRUM for TeamSystem reports that utilize the Work Item History field. It seems that the TfsWarehouse>Work Item History>Date field was not upgraded from type int to type d ...Show All

  I have a situation where I want all my visual studio projects in source control to be set to delay signed so that they have no problems developing with that code - which sets the property in each .vb/.csproj to : <DelaySign>true</DelaySign> However for a formal release build on the build machine, I dont want to delay sign.
