• Karzanboy Creating work items.

  Hi, I'm relatively new to TFS and from what I have seen so far it looks great. I have a question for you all though. As a developer it is easy for me to log bugs / enhancements (aka WorkItems) by using the Team Explorer from inside VS 2005. I was wondering though, what is the method a help desk / support engineer should use These people won't have VS installed on their doesktop. And how about consultants, these people are often on the road ...Show All

• Jim_Martin HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider\InstalledSCCProviders?

  Since we are stuck using a multitude of SCM systems at least for a while, we use a utility called SwitchSCC that can easily switch among different SCC providers.  It uses this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider\InstalledSCCProviders But TF doesn't populate this reg key   Is this an oversight or just the TF is going to work I think I've found the key to use to switch p ...Show All

• Tarquin DisposableFieldsShouldBeDisposed and HashAlgorithm

  HashAlgorithm-derived classes use Clear() as the publicly-available dispose().  Safe to ignore but would be nice to factor in specific classes with methods other than Dispose() or Close(). First of all, David's post is on the money and provides a workaround that will satisfy FxCop. Our flow analysis already special-cases Close() as there are several framework types that use this as an alternate to Dispose ...Show All

• Richard Cleaver FXCop 1.32 with VS 2005 RTM

  Hello everyone, I am managing a development project which started around VS 2005 Beta 2. I have been using FXCop 1.32 since the start of the project, but now developers are switching to the RTM version. I was just wondering if the same FXCop 1.32 can also be used with this latest (and final :-) version. I have done some wee tests and this seems to be the case (after all, I don't think CLR has changed since) but I would appreciate if you cou ...Show All

• SMaste Is there a way to automate (complete/partial) transfer of Specification docs. from Lotus Notes to VSTS (i.e. MS Word)?

  Is there a way to automate (complete/partial) transfer of the Specification docs. used in project from Lotus Notes to VSTS (i.e. MS Word) sharepoint portal - Document section I do not think so. The PCW takes the documents from a local disk to upload to WSS site that VSTS uses to store the documents. You can't even provide web folder (http location) for source documents. I feel you won't need to work with VSTS. If you can write a too ...Show All
