• El Gee How do I get SQL Tracing to work in a Load test.

  I have enabled SQL tracing in my Load test Run Settings. I can successfully connect to the data source. The problem is with the SQL Trace Directory.

• Kerry_Dixon MS Project integration and "WBS" field

  I have mapped the MS Project's field “WBS” to a custom field and adjusted the VSTS-MS Project mapping info. The data from the field gets synchronized in both directions and at the first sight everything seems to be working fine.     But, there is a problem with enforcing of uniqueness of WBS value. MS Project enforces the rule that each WBS value has to be unique. Since uniqueness has to do with all work items and all rules tha ...Show All

• Julian Price FxCop 1.35 RC1 False positives

  1. I get CompoundWordsShouldBeCasedCorrectly for the term "ToolTip" - FxCop thinks it should be cased as "Tooltip" which seems wrong - all classes, properties and enumerations in the .NET Framework are cased as "ToolTip" so this should be used for consistency. 2. I get CollectionsShouldImplementGenericInterface for a class which is derived from DataView. Essentially this seems to be suggesting that I add a generi ...Show All

  We installed the TFS on our new AppServer. We also want to put our intranet sites on the same server. I know there were a few issues with this, but for some reason I cannot find any documents explaining how to set up regular ASP.NET websites to run on the same server. What we currently do is set up a website on our internal server, then use our DNS server to point say: MyIntranet to 192.158.1.123. We don't use local "hosts" files. ...Show All

None of my permissions changed in between creating any of these project, so I am not not sure why I get that last error. As far as the ...Show All
