• Anddos Problems with build type configurations and 'Publish'

  If I want to build 2 solutions in one build type, each with a different configuration, I just make sure that both of the configurations are defined in tfsbuild.proj. Then the build will attempt all four permutations (sln1, config1;sln1, config2;sln2, config1;sln2, config2) but skip the ones that are not valid for each solution, is that correct   Also when I try to publish, I would expect it to do a build first, or do I have to be exp ...Show All

• Pranky How can I run a perfomance test capturing the time taken to an open a document from the application
