• Architecture Entities

  I'm starting the following project: A multi database (SQL Server, Oracle and Firebird) using Winforms in the presentation layer and Web Services in the middle tier. My principal question is about the best way to implement the entities transit between the layers. I'm thinking in this option: a typed dataset based entities without the default adapters created by the VS 2005. Instead I will use a Helper class to factoring the multi database feature and generate the required DataAdapters. I'm free from develop own class for each entity of my system and I could use the benefits of binding and serialization of the datasets. In addition, I wi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to view submitted changesets?

  When a file is checked in, it is part of a changeset (very similar to a changelist in Perforce).  What I don't see in Team Foundation is a way to view previously submitted changesets (this is available in Perforce and is very useful). Is there a way to retrieve a list of submitted changesets, this seems like very basic functionality Since the changeset groups changes to multiple files logically, it often makes more sense to review the overall changeset rather than individual file history... Finding the last changeset would also lend itself to a continous build scenario where you get the latest changeset and see if it is newer than a c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Work Item - Title vs Summary (Redundant?)

  I find myself just repeating in the summary what I put in for the title.  These two fields seem redundant.  What am I missing here   How are they supposed to be used Once we've fixed it and you've tried it for a while I'd be interested in more feedback.  In our own use of it we've found the two fields go hand in hand very well.  The Repro steps are generally entered once and don't change (unless there was a mistake).  The "conversation" evolves as I pass the bug from person to person or hand it back to the tester for additional clarification.  We've found having them both ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Mixed credentials: Username & Certificate

  Greetings, Our services will be exposed on the Internet. Only specific partners applications should be able to have access to them. At the same time, the partners applications users will need to be authenticated & authorized by our services. We will use role-based security to authorize them. The reason why we need a double validation using a certificate for each application is because we don't want anybody on the internet to be able to query those services directly (that includes our users having usr/pwd credentials who could try to pull the services content from their own app). We want to make sure only "known" applications ...Show All
