• SSEGARANE mstest with custom test type and metadata(vsmdi) file?

  I'm trying to use mstest.exe to run a test from the commandline. The test was created as a custom test type that I have created via the extensibility SDK.

• Suture TFS crash after creation of ~150 Work Items

  Hi Mohammad, Thanks for your reply. At first I came to the exactly same conclusion. But after some checks it stop making sense. We are using single thread to process work items synchronously.

• Yaron No way to update AreaPath dropdown through Microsoft Project

  I have resigned myself to the fact that the only way to add new area paths is by doing so manually through TFS.  For example, I can't create new ones and attempt to publish them through Microsoft Project. But why , after having added new areas to TFS, can't I get the dropdown in the area column of Microsoft Project to have the new value in it.  The only workaround, which is pretty close to unacceptable, is to create a new ...Show All

  It pains me to see that even the new Team System source control writes the same pointless drivel to the Output window in visual studio: ---- Operation started at time 3:32:18 PM ---- ---- Operation completed successfully at time 3:32:18 PM ---- ---- Operation started at time 3:32:18 PM ---- ---- Operation started at time 3:32:18 PM ---- ---- Operation completed successfully at time 3:32:18 PM ---- ---- Operation started at time 3:32:18 PM ---- - ...Show All

• Taylor Meek What happened to Beta 2 on MSDN Subscriber Downloads?

  It looks like everything has been pulled. Is that because the April SQL Server is missing Some of my downloads were right in the middle Still no SQL Server April. This is a screwup guys.
