• Visual Studio VS2005 breaks on unhandled exception in asynchronous code

  I am using BeginInvoke and EndInvoke on a delegate to call a function that throws an exception. There is no error handler in the delegate function, because I want to catch the exception when EndInvoke is called. This works fine with both .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0, but in VS2005 beta 2, the debugger breaks in when the exception is first thrown warning me that I have an exception that is unhandled by user code. Is there a way I can stop the debugger f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Installation Woes

  I have read the installation manuals for TFS (both b3r and rc), and I must be missing something. I am trying to get TFS up and running in a pretty heavily constrained (from the security standpoint) and generally non-Msft environment. The env runs an LDAP directory service but it is not AD. Additionally, it takes a miracle to get domain accounts created. Therefore, I'm wondering what my options are for installing TFS. I will be following the s ...Show All
