• Visual Studio Team System Multi Branches

  Hi, Are there any best practices for managing a multi branches environment We might have a 20 - 30 branches in one project. We thinking of creating team projects in order to group by branches, but we would like to hear more opinions. Thanks, Michael Your choice of splitting branches between Team Projects mostly affects work items, document portals, and other TFS features -- as far as the source control system is concerned, it's one big tree. Branch/Merge operations don't care which TP they operate on. I can only think of two "gotchas:" (1) TPs each create their own default security groups; if you don't ha ...Show All

• .NET Development XSD + XPATH = XSD-Type?

  I got an XSD containing a definition for XML and I got XPath Queries which would return nodes from an XML valid against that XSD. I know that all the queries will result in nodes containing simple types. How can I figure out what the simple type is without actually having XML data Just to clarify, I would have something like: < xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" > <xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://www.contoso.com/books" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xs:element name="auth ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Sandbox Install on Windows XP using Virtual Server 2005 R2

  I have installed a sandbox environment on my machine as follows: Host: Windows XP SP2 - VS2005 VM1: Windows Server 2003 - DC, DNS, and VPN VM2: Windows Server 2003 - TFS If my VMs are configured with static IP addresses within the same subnet (i.e. Router = 192.168.1.1, Host = 192.168.1.2, VM1 = 192.168.1.99 and VM2 = 192.168.1.98), the Host can ping the VMs and everything works great. I now would like to modify my configuration to support the following scenarios: VMs have static IP addresses that can be independent of the current network (i.e. Router = 192.168.1.1, Host = 192.168.1.2, VM1 = 10.238.0.99 and VM2 = 10.238.0 ...Show All
