• Carlh62 Web view not styled (most of the time)

• StevenBerr Profiler quits generating reports (or gets stuck on the same one)

  I upgraded to Team System for Sd earlier this week from 2005 Pro in order to try out the profiler. I can get it ro run once or twice, and then it seems to quit. In my solution, I have a class library (Rancher) and console app (Rancher.Test).

• Avesta No way to update AreaPath dropdown through Microsoft Project

  I have resigned myself to the fact that the only way to add new area paths is by doing so manually through TFS.  For example, I can't create new ones and attempt to publish them through Microsoft Project. But why , after having added new areas to TFS, can't I get the dropdown in the area column of Microsoft Project to have the new value in it.  The only workaround, which is pretty close to unacceptable, is to create a new ...Show All

  Hi, I need to write a couple of custom rules which requires me to parse the code like Length of a class file, Code/Comment Ratio, Length of line does not exceed say 60 characters and so on. It will be great to have these checks as part of FxCop rules so that these requirements are taken care of. Is it possible to achieve this. Also I need to check the number of levels in the inheritance heirarchy. Is this also possible in FxCop Thanks a ...Show All

• Ivan Giugni Avg. Response Time

  Hi, I am running a load test containing webtests. Each webtest has one webservice request. The avg. response time of each request is aroung 12msec(0.012sec).

• granville Moving TFS to a new physical server - can be done?

  Hi folks, currently we have been trialling/using TFS B3R2 and besides the odd quirk here or there love it and will be keen to purchase a license when released, etc. That said, we would like to keep the existing _DATA_ we have on the current crap hardware and migrate it to a new machine with the released TFS product. So, a few questions. 1) Should we wait for the licensed product or could we use the RTM when that's out. 2) Assuming ...Show All

• killauea CollectionsShouldImplementGenericInterface should be a breaking change?

  FxCop raises a CollectionsShouldImplementGenericInterface violation for a simple collection class which inherits from the non-generic CollectionBase. As far as I can see the only sensible way to fix this is to derive from one of the generic collection classes (usually Collection<T>). This is surely a breaking change. Joe, Although it is a breaking change to modify the base of a class, it is not con ...Show All

  Hi, i have some problems compiling a c++ project using 4 dll's, 1 static lib and 1 application. I added project dependencies for the build order. When compiling in the ide, it works fine.
