• Patrick Verleysen Team System Builds and dropping an MSI

  Hi, I just started using Team System this week, and I've been able to muddle along fairly well, but I've just discovered something that to me is a real show stopper.

My problem is that the team system build does not build the Setup projects ...Show All

• Maleeha Ismail FxCop 1.35 and static class methods

  First let me say that I really appreciate all the work done on FxCop. Its a very helpful tool. However, the integration into VS2005 needs to be back-ported to VS2003. it does not have to be "exactly" like 2005, but it can come close. Here are a few ideas on how this can be accomplished. 1) Provide an AddIn that gives the user a context menu for the projects so code analysis can be run. Sure, you can put it on the "Tools" menu, but that is ...Show All

  Hi all, I have created several libraries and set them visible in the Quick Launch bar in Sharepoint. But I find they are not sorted by character, but seem sorted by the creation time.

• tommazzo Is it possible to programmatically access code coverage data?

  Hi, I am working with the unit testing system in Team System for Dev. So far it's been great except for one small issue: programmatic access to results. Our build process (a custom solution that has evolved over the years and is unlikely to be swapped out in the near future) runs our unit tests using mstest.exe. The resulting build email would ideally show both test results (pass/fail, failure details) and code coverage details. At this po ...Show All
