• Windows Forms Why only one roll back

  Hi Guys, Is it possible to configure the number of versions that click once can roll back to what if i wanted 3 versions of the application to stay on the users machine. and allow the user revert back to the first of 3 versions In the interest of balancing disk space usage with rollback capabilities we decided to stick with allowing rollback to previous version only. This is not configurable. We did not find enough of a customer scenario demand to justify the additional complexity created by allowing for a fully flexible multiple version rollback model. Most users know that the previous version of ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System What is the criteria for running web validation rules?

  I have a web page that references a gif file, however the file is not there. This shows up in the results when I run a web test.

It did fail 4) Added a validation rule to the request 5) Played test again and this time the request failed and ...Show All
