• Sephers getting changesets takes 30+ minutes

  When running team build against a decent sized project (40+ individual projects) the last step "Getting Changesets" takes 30+ minutes at best and hours at the worst. There are 1024 of 2227 associated changesets and 404 associated work items. This last step equates to the GenCheckinNotesUpdateWorkItems Microsoft task. I assume you are using Beta 3 Refresh. Post Beta 3 Refresh, we have made performanc ...Show All

• Matt L Build always checks out most of 'Bin' directory? (VS2005 Team Suite RC1)

  I searched a bit for this, but VS2005 Team Suite has been checking out most of my 'Bin' directory each time I open OR build my solution. Has anyone seen this before Is this simply an option that I have forgotten to turn off or is this a bug fixed in RTM Its a very annoying behavior, because often I just want to build the solution and don't have any pending changes, but because its checking out everything all the time it picks up all the Bin and ...Show All

• Bearcats1375 Doc Feedback: ImplementStandardExceptionConstructors (Don't agree with this)

  Hi   If I implement a custom constructor set that extends the base constructor, technically I am implementing the base constructors. By only implementing my constructors, I am enforcing that certain parameters must be input. Since my constructor passes data to the base constructor, the rule is not broken and therefore can also be excluded. public class MyException : System.Exception {       &n ...Show All

• dev_shiv Build failures after upgrade to RTM trial

  Hi, We just moved from RC to RTM trial. In doing so, we did not go through upgrade process but rather made a clean install of trial edition which will update with product key when our vendor gets them to us. Anyhow, I've added my source back to a new team project and created my team build and updated TFSBuild.proj to the one I had working in RC. I also created a simple test build for the same project via team build wizard. The simple build work ...Show All

• iAlbeniz Whidbey FxCop 1.32 ignores certain methods ?

  Does the Whidbey FxCop 1.32 have built in intelligence for ignoring certain methods I ask because I have various rules which check ASP.NET generated assemblies. They run fine using the .NET Framework 1.1 FxCop 1.32 but when I run them on ASP.NET 2 assemblies using the Whidbey FxCop 1.32 none of the private generated methods are visited. This makes me wonder if they are being deliberately excluded. Guy Guy, I re ...Show All

  Hello, I am using the cumulative count in Work item history cube using the Pivotchart within Excel (a great way to get quick graphs for management). The problem I am having is that I want to see the progression of states between specific dates. As it stands now I can choose specific weeks to see but the counter in the graph does not start at zero. If I could put the creation date as an additional filter the graph would start at zero. ...Show All

• kcongdon /file doesn't work with directories?

  The fxcopcmd docs say that you can specify a directory using the /file option, but I can't get it to work. It just says "could not load file: [folder name]." Am I doing something wrong, or are the docs wrong The /file switch doesn't recurse; you need to explicitly specify each directory you want to look for binaries to analyze, for example: fxcopcmd /f:App\Folder1 /f:App\Folder2 /o:fxcop.xml ...Show All
