• Visual Studio Team System Divergent build instructions for Formal Team Build

  I want to be able to use some custom settings within .csproj files when doing a formal Team Build but not when developers build in the IDE. So in my .csproj I add a conditional import at the end of the file, which only evaluates to true on the build machine because of an environment variable I have set up: <Import Project="$(SolutionRoot)\Exweb.Settings.targets" Condition=" '$(OfficialBuild)'=='true' " /> Howev ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Synchronization primitives in .NET CF

  I need to synchronize access to a particular collection of files, all contained in the same directory, across multiple processes.

• Visual Studio Team System Stopping the build committing when it fails

  When a build fails in the AfterDropBuild it still commits the work items and changesets so that next time the build executes, it does not associate with all the changesets and work items. Is there someway of stopping this Umm - actually not. The changesets and the work items association happens in a step before the DropBuild. That is why even if BeforeDropBuild (or later targets) fail(s), the changesets and work items commiting re ...Show All
