  OK, this is going to be complicated, so let me start small: I have a custom activity that can listen for events. The event contains an array of objects and the user of the activity (the workflow designer) knows how large this array is.

• Visual Studio Team System Team Projects and Product Releases

  I interested in how people are handling releases in relation the team project. In other word, how do you handling moving from 1.0 to 1.1 or 2.0.

But do we really want to Sure, 1.0 issues that are unresolved are good to know d ...Show All
