• Visual Studio Team System Inconsistent results?

  Hi, I've noticed that fxcopcmd (and the UI also) can yield inconsistent analysis results. This is a bit of a problem, because we've started to integrate fxcop with our automated build system (home-grown makefile-based): fxcop gives us the "all clear" on individual developer machines, but yields additional errors on the build machines, which breaks the build. I realise that we could expect differences for naming-based rules that depend ...Show All

• .NET Development Test Form for Webmethod failingto invoke on IIS6 and 2003

  Hi, I hoping this one is a simple configuration element that I've missed. I've deployed a webservice to a win 2K box and all is fine, however when it is moved to a Win2003 box we're receiving error code 500 at the client. If I try to invoke it locally from the testform on the 2K3 server the invoke button fails to actualy invoke anything so we can't potentially see any better error descriptors. Does anyone know why the "Invoke" te ...Show All
