Many thanks, Derry Thanks for your help. I've tried all the various options suggested and not seen w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System FXCop: Exclude specific files from analysis?

  Is it possible to exclude whole files from code analysis My scenario is where I have a web reference that generates a web service proxy class. This reference will get updated periodically so I don't want to supress 500 messages every time I update it. Is it possible to exclude a whole file I still want the rest of the files in the project to be analyzed. Has this been addressed since your original post I'm using the IdeaBlade toolset, and it generates base classes that you don't modify and final classes that you can modify. I need to exclude the base classes from fxcop in team system so I don't keep gett ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Help about incrementation and iteration

  I don't understand if once i have all the use cases i should split them and in each iteration i add more use cases, or i should consider all the use cases on each iteration. The msf talks about versionning but i can`t clearly see how to make this versionning. Versionning means splitting the use cases There are a few strategies - hence your confusion. The goal is to deliver value incrementally. As such, you typically first address the high-value aspects of the solution (sometimes this is within a use case, sometimes it spans use cases). You also need to work on the "infrastructure" or "plumbing" of the solution so that the high-va ...Show All
