• Padrick Unable to resolve ViewState Errors

  I'm trying to create a small Web Test, but it continually throws ViewState MAC errors. I saw when I generated the coded the test that it had hard-coded viewstate in the spots where it was failing, so I replaced those references with relative calls to the viewstate in the current context . However, that didn't resolve the problems. Here is one page in my test that fails: ------------------------------------------------------------------- ...Show All

• Pravin Kumaradhas L Bugs while moving files between solutions

  As part of a refactoring, I've created a few new solutions and am moving files from one solution to another.  If you drag-n-drop from VS, it will try to do the move as a delete/add operation -- bad since I want to preserve history, etc. So I go to the Source Control Explorer and encounter lots of bugs! 1) you cannot move multiple files at once. 2) you cannot drag-n-drop at all 3) after right-clicking on a file and moving it to a new target ...Show All

• Magesh20355 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
