• Visual Studio Team System Can you programmatically checkin a file to source control with a specified date?

  We are looking at importing some RCS based projects into TFS.  We can grab each version and it's history via the command line and then pump each version into TFS.  However the dates in TF won't reflect the actual dates of the checkin in our other version control system.  How would you go about doing this   BTW, in this case the old system never supported branching and we don't care if we lose labels in the transfer.  ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team System Builds and dropping an MSI

  Hi, I just started using Team System this week, and I've been able to muddle along fairly well, but I've just discovered something that to me is a real show stopper. And based on the searches that I have done in Google and in these forums, I'm beginning to think there is something fundamental I missing based on the small number of responses to this problem. My problem is that the team system build does not build the Setup projects ...Show All

• Visual C# Generics, Collection and Properties

  Hi All, Is it possible to expose a Generic Collection as a property As it appears the following statement is not allowed. public List<Item> Items { Get {return _items;} } The only way I can expose a generic method is via a method call or as field. This means that you cannot display it in the propertygrid. I know this may be a "By Design Issue" but it is kind of weird since most people expose collection objects as properties an ...Show All
