• Visual Studio Team System Branching Web Projects and IIS virtual directories.

  Hello, I have a question about how to deal with branching Web Projects and IIS virtual directories. This is the scenario that I am dealing with: Directory hierarchy: DataScripts/ ProjectSources/ LocalProject/ WebProject/ Solutions/ StressTest/ This directory tree is under source control. Also, when we branch, we branch at the root level, so we have the following workspace mapping Workspace mapping: $/TeamProjectA/Mainline -> c:\src\ Prod \TeamProjectA\ $/TeamProjectA/Branches/ver1/ -> c:\src\ DevVer1 \TeamProjectA\ ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) NetNamedPipeBinding slower with "oneway=true"?

  Hi I took David Betz's samples ( http://davidbetz.net/winfx/2006/01/wcf-relative-binding-speeds.aspx ) and modified them to use oneway methods. The results I got were similiar (I used a slower computer), but for some reason the application managed to send more netTcp message than NetNamedPipeBinding messages. Why is that Is there some kind of optimization in NetTcpBinding for oneway methods I run the tests again (using a oneway "recordperson" method), on Feb CTP. 1) With security enabled, using a one-way contract, the WSDualHttpBinding performed BETTER than the WSHttpBinding - why is t ...Show All

• .NET Development EventLog.WriteEntry - static or not?

  I am using the simplest way to write to the event log: if(!EventLog.SourceExists(...)) {EventLog.CreateEventSource(...);} EventLog.WriteEntry(...); From the syntax, WriteEntry should be static, but in the documentation it is not. I am interested to find out why because this code will be called from different threads and only the static members of EventLog are thread-safe. Eventlog.WriteEntry has both static and non static members, check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemdiagnosticseventlogclasswriteentrytopic4.asp What overload in particular are you curious about ...Show All

• Visual Studio GAT Wrapper

  I am trying to develop a GAT infrastructure for other developers to create GAT tools without having to know all the details of GAT.  Is there a way to execute code when they select "File|New|Project|Guidance Pacakges|Guidance Package Development" (basically, customize the solution that GAT creates for you to develop a GAT tool)   I'd just like to make it easier for my teammates to develop their own GAT tools for use by the dev team we all support.  Anyone else run into this or have thoughts on an easy way to wrap GAT behind a nice user-friendly set of APIs   GAT is powerful, just not very user friendly (at this point) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error Publishing Test Result

  Hello, I have Team Build installed and the builds are working fine.  However, when ever we try to publish a test result to the build we always get the following error: Status: Failed Error Message: Publish operation failed. What does that mean   How can I fix it   I can't seem to locate any logs or items in the event log. Thanks, Cindy The root cause of the failure you were seeing is the fact that the build service and application tier accounts are different. This is a known issue that will be fixed for RTM. The failure occurs when we try to set the permissions on the test results directo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Combobox event usercontrol

  Hello, I am sure y'all have answered this before, but I am having a rough time finding the answer. I will blame my cold instead of my laziness. I have created a user control to hold a bunch of panels. I created a collection class to hold the panels and that works great.

• Visual Studio Team System B3 Refresh: Project Alert Email doesn't contain old value

  Using Beta 3 refresh of VSTF. Created CMMI team project. Setup Project Alerts to email me when "my work items are changed by others". Had another developer modify the description field of the existing work item "Create Vision Statement". (Just added the string "TEST" to the end of the field.) Everything works properly except that the "old value" is not placed in the email. Is this by design for the detail field When the other developer change the "assigned to" field to my account, I see the old and new values in the project alert email that is generated. Yes, I believe that's by design for that field, due to the lengthy content expected ...Show All
