• Bruce Taimana Getting info about local variables.

  How would you get information about variables local to a method I thought looping over a method's instructions would get me there but it appears there is no opcode generated for local variable declaration. Instead there is a .locals init ( ) line.

Any adv ...Show All

• gaorellana Installing VSS

  Is it safe to install VSS 6.0d on the same server as Team Foundation Server RC We're migrating to new hardware and need to keep VSS around awhile while we move to TFS. Thanks, I'm not certain whether we've tested installing VSS on the same server as TFS. I don't see why it would conflict, but I can't guarantee it's a supported scenario.

• Paul Menefee Problems with Branching

  We are running Beta 3 Refresh and are having problems branching (which worked ok in Beta 2). I created a new folder and then clicked on my main folder (with multiple sub-folders underneath) and clicked Branch. I then choose to put the branch in my new directory I created. It then states: "Preparing to Branch..." and sits there for over 1/2 and never does anything. I then clicked "Cancel" and it sits there for another 30-45 minutes saying "Cancel ...Show All

• MikeFair Branch or second workspace?

  I have a simple problem I'm trying to solve, but I'm hung up on the workflow best practices with TFS version control.

Now with things stored in the repository it's unclear the best way to move them (promote them) through the rest of the life-cycle. Suppose I have a new team project....I've added my solution everything works fine. I checkout some files, ...Show All

  I'm wanting to write a custom checkin policy and have got the right assembly referenced, but am somewhat disappointed at the lack of in-line documentation on the API.
