• RayCan Numerous errors in the Application Event Log when TFS host is rebooted

  I'm not sure that there's anything "wrong" here, but it seems worth asking about - I noticed in the event log for my TFS host that quite a number of errors and warnings were logged within the first 15-20 seconds of operation following a reboot.

• Koltron Possible to detect use of enum.ToString()?

  Does anyone know if it is possible to detect the use of an enum's "ToString()" method The reason I ask is because we have started obfuscating our code using Dotfuscator, and of course because that renames the enums, it plays merry hell with any use of enum.ToString()! It'd be great if FXCopy could detect such usage. Also, I guess we'd need to detect enum.Parse() and other reflection-style access. Any help would be much appreciated! ...Show All
