• Visual Studio Team System Team Build Install Issue

  We are having an issue with the Team Foundation Build Server installation for the RC. The required TFS Service account for TFS and TFS Build we created is a local account (not domain). Team Foundation Server allowed the use of a local account during installation. The build server needs to use the same service account used by TFS, but does not allow you to supply a local account during installation. I used my domain account just to complete the installation. After completion I went into the service and changed the service account back to the local TFS Service that was used for Foundation Server. When I try to execute a build it fails with th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Vision / Scope Level

  In regards to creating a vision / scope document, I understand that this is done at the application or solution level. However, the MSF template for the Functional Specifications document includes a Vision / Scope section as well. A Functional Specifications document is written for any new feature that is being introduced into the application. It makes sense to me that a Vision statement should be written for new functionality. This would imply "shared vision" which I think is essential and would also help ensure that the functionality that is designed conforms to the shared vision. So my question is, how many of you actual ...Show All

• Visual C# Access Web Form member from it’s hosted windows user control

  Hi. I have a web app that uses a IE hosted windows user control. I would like that, somehow, lounch an external event from that hosted control that I could catch in my web form’s code behind or set a web form’s member value. Does anybody know how to do that I would appreciate any suggestions! Thanks in advance! First off you need to define your interface. This is a simple interface declaring the events you will fire, and any properties/methods you will access from the web page. It needs to be visible to COM, so use the following as a template: [GuidAttribute("1F98211C-7A71-4588-8D4A-AD85CA80BAE7&q ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF30162: Task "WITs" from Group "WorkItemTracking" failed

  This is with Beta3 on a real 2003 Standard Server SP1. Setup worked without a problem. I did change the name of the three accounts but they all work fine. I cannot create a project with a user account that's in the domain admin group. However I can create a project with the <setup> account logged on on the server directly. Thinking it's a SQL permission kinda thing, I gave the domain account all the same permissions as the <service> account, but that still did not work. I tried the deletion of the cache directory, but that did not make a difference. Can someone give me any hints how to go on with this. Peter ...Show All
