• Visual Studio Team System .net 1 assemblies references from .net 2 assemblies for analysis

  I'm using Using FxCop 1.35 to analyise assemblies built with v. 2 of the runtime. However, some of these assemblies reference v. 1 assemblies. I can not add these referenced assemblies as Targets as there is a framework mismatch (I was aiming to add them and disable their analysis so that FxCop could resolve the reference but not run analysis), so I have to resolve them manually when I run analysis. This is fine for the GUI version, but obviously does not work with the command line version on our CI server. Any workarounds for this James, You can tell FxCop to look in specific folders for references, by ...Show All

• SQL Server Reusing package configuration file across all packages in a solution?

  I have 5 packages in a solution. For 1st package, I add a package configuration file (xml) named common.dtsConfig containing only Database Connection configurations.

Now for 2nd package, when I reuse from existing package configuration (common.dtsConfg) with same name, it allows me to do that. I also create a package specific configuration file for 2nd package. And so on for all 5 packages. This works fine for development. If my database user/password changes, I edit onyl one file i.e. common.dtsCo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System MSF for CMMI - InterationPlan.xls

  This is a great resource.  I am working with the Iteration Plan spreadsheet and have a couple of questions. 1) On the first worksheet what should be populated on the (number) column 2) On the Iteration Number worksheet shouldn't the total cost formula be D40+C33+D24 rather than D40+C33+C24   The total does not currently reflect the total cost for the FTE Quantity.
