• PedroVasconcelos Several issues with TeamBuild, July CTP

  I'm using the July CTP and have setup the application tier to be the build server. During the configuration of TeamBuild, I ran across the following: Since Visual Studio also guards the Bin folder in Web projects, any assemblies in that directory are added to Source Control. When these assemblies are actually project references, TeamBuild fails (MSB4126) to copy the output of these projects to the Bin directory (Access denied, files are read-o ...Show All

• KimKim1 WebRecorder / Fiddlertool and its limitations - Best way for recording IE's 'non-navigational' events

  What is the current recommended way for recording requests into webtests when IE does not recognize as 'navigation' I am assuming that the WebRecorder relies on IE's NavigateComplete events (or something similar) and records those requests into the webtests (probably the same reason it doesn't record redirects, but not relevant here). However, as people know, there are limitations to this approach. IE has a limited notion of navigation ...Show All

• Henk v J. TypeNode.GetTypeNode(Type) sometimes throws object reference not set.

  I have a number of custom rules some of which use TypeNode.GetTypeNode(Type) in them. Before 1.35 Beta 1 I would sometimes get the object reference not set exception when I was trying to get a TypeNode for a type defined in one of my assemblies. I worked around this by getting rid of TypeNode.GetTypeNode(Type) in all of these cases. Now that I have 1.35 Beta 1, I am getting the exception on types from Microsoft assemblies. Specifically my rule c ...Show All

• Roberto Barrantes Shipping Beta 2

  There's been a rash of speculation  as of late that Beta 2 has "slipped" to April [ Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 beta 2 delayed ]. As you can read in this post from the Developer Division Release Team [ In the Home Stretch... ], we still plan to ship Beta 2 by the end of March. That has been the plan-of-record for months. Because it takes time to move from shipped bits to downloadable bits , Beta 2 will probably be available for ...Show All
