• Wybren Koelmans Procedure for using Build Server with Multiple Branches

  I have question in regards to properly using the Build Server with multiple branches of an application.  As an example lets say I have a simple solution (called TEST) with a web 'project' and a class library.  When I first setup my build type, I set it up to build the TEST solution.  I run the build and it creates build number: 20051008.1.    I then "Branch" my solution in Version Control to keep a build history.& ...Show All

Cheers, Clint Print all out of date files, except those checked out to you: tf get /preview Print all ...Show All

The Start Date in Project is static (if a developer starts a task early, Team System does not gather enough information for Project to change the Start Date to indicate this fact).  Although that doesn't sound significant... very quickly a plan will get out of date.  I realize that Agile focuses on "project velosity" rather than a large up-front plan.  The real ...Show All
