    - Function evaluation disabled because a previous function evaluation timed out. You must continue execution Hi Azeem, Thanks for the reply (sorry for not responding sooner as it just came to my attention). In all honesty however Azeem, I still maintain this situation needs correcting at some level but since the architecture is already in place, it's probably very difficult to address now (and I don't think it will be - not in a service pack anyway). In my VC6 days however, no such problems existed so I'm not sure why they do now (other than the fact that the architecture was changed, perhaps for the better in many ways, but this problem is now a residual effect) . Moreover, I don't see how we're supposed to debug certain threads given this situation. For instance, as you're already well aware, you can't look at a form or any of its controls on a worker thread since this problem manifests itself either immediately or soon after. I've tried all the tips you provided and they do help but eventually the problem occurs again. In my case my properties are fairly simple as well, either returning member variables only or otherwise running very simple functions which shouldn't cause any problems (based on my understanding of this issue). That is, while I may not fully appreciate all the details surrounding this problem, I do understand the basic situation as you've described it. While there may be inherent issues trying to evaluate certain things on other threads, from my perspective things still appear to be broken since the debugger chokes on what should be a routine situation (and it certainly shouldn't freeze up). For instance, I was just inspecting a "TreeView" control on a worker thread and the moment I tried to look at the "TreeNode.Tag" member for a given node, everything froze again. Why should this be I'm simply looking at an existing member where I've stored a reference to a very simple object whose properties return member variables only. Even if the debugger is running through every member variable (of every member) and evaluating all their properties, they are all sufficiently simple. I don't see why I can't look at them other than the fact that the architecture can't handle it for the reasons you cited. There must be a way for the debugger to deal with this however (again, it doesn't occur in VC6) and I strongly believe that the situation needs to be re-evaluated. I can't debug my application without resorting to a lot of time-consuming trace statements and I know that many others are having the same problem (after researching the situation). In any event, thanks again for your help. It is appreciated and my comments were meant to be constructive (I do have great respect for the difficult job you guys do so well).

    - Assigning resources to Requirements as Summary Tasks in Project In our situation, we must have [Project] summary tasks assigned an owner [TFS Requirement]. At this point I don't care if Project doesn't like summary tasks assigned a resource -- the main reason Project doesn't like it is because it cannot properly do resource leveling, but that is a drawback we are willing to accept. Thus, it is more important to us to have OWNERS for large tasks than it is to have Project do our resource leveling. Also, we are only ignoring Remaining and Completed in TFS for the Requirement (summary task)...not all of the sub-tasks. It would be great if TFS could work with Project to improve upon this oversight. Tag: Visual Studio Extensibility Not able to see addin tools menu button and toolbar button Visual Studio

I've made it by means Process Template Editor with "ref name" <CompanyName>.<FieldName>. The fields were correctly represented and the new column in [Work Item] table as <CompanyName>_<FieldName> was succesfully created. But now... I'm creating a new field <CompanyName>_Case. The field content is saving, updating, ets... But I can't find the %Case% field neither in [work item] nor in Warehouse database at all. I really need it for Reports.

    - MSBuild doing unnecessary full rebuilds when multiple Items exist in Inputs attribute Hey Dan, thanks a lot for confirming this. I'll happily open a bug as soon as i post this, but i'm curious as to the details of your explanation. When you say -------------------- "It's because the code treats "missing" as "present but infinitely old". In this situation, that causes the missing file to look older than the @(magic) item itself, so we build everything." -------------------- I'm assuming "the missing file" you're referring to is b.built. If b.built is determined to be older than @(magic), why would that trigger a rebuild of the other and verifiably more recent a.built, c.built, and d.built Regards, Charles Nicholson Tag: Visual Studio Extensibility Not able to see addin tools menu button and toolbar button Visual Studio

    - TeamBuild + MsBuild Copy Task = No files? Found a much better solution! The reason for the publishing step not working was this: The websites were converted to WAP during the BETA of WAP addon. So this row was missing in the csproj files: <Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v8.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" /> I just added it to all our csproj-files (that are WAP). And now it works perfectly! The content files are copied... and everything gets published to a nice PublishedWebsites-folder!

    - Visual Studio 2005 Addin - How to find all the controls in a webform? Hi everyone, I’m the coordinator of project NMVP ( http://www.codeplex.com/nmvp ). It’s a framework to develop MVP architectures. The framework is doing really well, but there’s one task I’d like to automate that is the task of creating a contract for the web form. I’ll illustrate: Imagine I have a web page like this: Username: [TextBox of Username] Password: [TextBox of Password] [Login Button] In MVP the contract for this page would be something like this: public Interface ILoginForm{ string Username; string Password; event EventHandler Authenticate; } So what I am trying to accomplish is: 1) When the user clicks the LoginPage : Page class in .cs file a "Refactor to NMVP Contract" item appears (done) 2) When the user clicks the item, a form listing all the page’s controls appear. 3) The user chooses which controls will compose the contract (in the case two textboxes and one button). 4) The addin creates the contract interface in a choosen assembly by the user. 5) The addin makes the page implement the contract and automatically creates properties and events. In our example: public string UserName{ get { return txtUsername.text; } set { txtUsername.text = value; } } and so on. As of now I can retrieve the class clicked and only show the Refactor item if the class inherits from Page. But when I attempt to get the controls in the page (they are in the partial of the webform, not the .cs one) the only CodeElement that shows is Page_Load. Right now I need to find a way to enumerate all the elements in a Page class that inherit from "System.Web.UI.Control".

    - Binding complex net objects to a crystal report Can a crystal report be bound to anything other than a simple net object I have a class which represents items in storage. Each item may contain one or several chemical elements, so one of the properties of the class is a linked list of type 'Element', another custom class. I set the report's data source to the 'Item' net object using the database expert, but only the object's simple data types show up on the database fields in the Field Explorer. The linked list of element objects is not on the field list. I have a linked list of all items in storage, and I would like to be able to send it directly to a report rather than write it to data tables and connect the data set to Crystal Reports.

    - Cherry Pick Merge causes conflict Thanks Richard - your explanation / logic definitely clears up some of my misunderstanding. I guess some of the confusion comes from the Resolve Conflicts dialog. The Compare - Source to Base ... option is in fact the diff content that we're talking about wanting to merge into the QA branch. So conceptually, this is the difference between 30 and 31 in my example. I understand when you say that the version conflict is a signal that something needs my attention, but then I wonder why I can't confirm/choose that source to base diff as the intended results for the merge Since I can't use the Merge Tool (disabled in the dialog), should I just be manually editing the file in pending checkins list before committing the merge And even if I *do* manually fix the conflicts, then commit them... I have to do a /force merge later when doing the "catchup" merge for the promotion of the next version to QA so it doesn't skip the bug fix I already cherry-picked. (and this merge has it's own content conflict - in this case I choose Copy Item from source branch and all is well) Again, thank you for your help! -Dan Tag: Visual Studio Extensibility Not able to see addin tools menu button and toolbar button Visual Studio

    - About the warm up period and pass webtest context to loadtest plugin 1. The problem with Total Requests and the values from the CumulativeValue column in the load test results store was a known bug in VS 2005 that is fixed by VS 2005 SP1. VS 2008 includes this fix as well as fixes for some more subtle bugs related to load tests results when the warm-up time is non-zero. Based on this, I'm guessing you are running VS 2005 without SP1 installed, in which case you should at a minimum install VS 2005 SP1. Alternative, you could install VS 2008 Beta 2 (downloadable at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa700831.aspx ). 2. The easiest way to code this would probably be to make the LoadTestContext object available as a static property of your LoadTestPlugin class. Two things to be careful about if you do this: a) There's only one instance of the LoadTestContext object that is shared among all virtual users running Web tests, so if you are updating items in the LoadTestContext you can share that among virtual users, but you may need to syncronize the access to the LoadTestContext object. b) Unless you code this carefully, you won't be able to run the Web test by itself (outside of the load test). I don't have any sample code for this handy, and I'm afraid I don't have time to write the sample today, but if you feel that you really need sample code for this let me know, and I can probably whip something up in the next few days.

    - Problem printing local report without preview I am having trouble printing a report without preview. The report designer works and I can print from it, but the process would be too slow for the final application.

    - CMMI: Add bug item - Where fill in "Found in version"? Hello! Our dev cycle looks like this, with 3 iterations: 1. Version 1.0 Beta 2. Version 1.0 Release Candidate 3. Version 1.0 Production 1. Version 2.0 Beta 2. Version 2.0 Release Candidate 3. Version 2.0 Production. And so on. The iterations of course overlaps each other, since we begin the Beta iteration at the same time we have the Production iteration for the preceding version. Lets assume we release Version 1.0 to our customer and we also have started working on Version 2.0. How do we handle bug reporting between versions of the product -We find a bug in Version 1.0 Production = What field should we use for telling that this bug was found in "v1.0 Production" - The same day we find a bug in "Version 2.0 Beta". - 2 bugs reported this day.... but one in version 1, and the other in the current beta of version 2. Possible solutions: 1. Should we use the Iteration Path -field for this For an example, the Iteration Path listbox would contain these values: Version 1.0 Beta Version 1.0 Release Candidate Version 1.0 Production Version 2.0 Beta Version 2.0 Release Candidate Version 2.0 Production. and so on. 2. There is a field for: Found-in Environment . But that does not mean "version of the product"... or 3. Create a custom field. But this feels wrong, we like to follow the CMMI model as far as possible... and creating a custom field means we are not doing this by correctly. The process guidance documentation is not entirely clear about this. Any ideas.... suggestions Tag: Visual Studio Extensibility Not able to see addin tools menu button and toolbar button Visual Studio

    - deploy/schema compare scripts - Option for checking IF EXISTS I'm not sure I've been clear. I don't need the .SQL files in my Schema folders to have IF EXISTS. I don't want to use the Scipts folder to hold all the objects in my database. I want to have Schema View and all that; I want all the bells and whistles. What I do need is for the scripts generated by "Build" (and "Schema Compare") to have IF EXISTS for table/column/etc and IF EXISTS/DROP-CREATE for procs/funcs. Here's the why: By example, I have a database called XYZ. Production servers A1, A2, .... A10 have a copy of this database. In theory, they should be identical in terms of tables, procs, functions, etc. Client1, a very important client, pays my company extra money to push a new feature out before the regular deployment schedule. So my application developers create an interim deployment (aka hotfix) package. On the database side, we have 1 new proc, spNewProc. So we interim deploy the feature (which is one new proc for the database) on server A10. When the regular deployment comes around and I have to prepare deployment scripts for databases XYZ, I'm going to use my staging database for the comparisons. spNewProc isn't on the staging database yet. So the deployment script that your tools generate simply writes it as CREATE PROC. When I deploy to server A1, A2, ... A9 the deployment scripts works great. But it will run with error on A10. What if we did 20 or 30 hotfixes What if all those servers (A1,...Z10) had some hotfixes, so every deployment on every server runs with error. That's a nightmare. I realize that my request can allow for production databases XYZ to be slightly out of sync. That's okay. When I do have the time, I can do the individual comparisons and the research necessary as to why. I work for small company; this is reality. I’m confident that many others will need this functionality. Without this scripting option, I would be forced to get deployment scripts for every database (unrealistic because of time) OR manually change the one you produce right now (error prone).

    - TFS Warehouse and Work Item Field Change Integration Hi, Our Bug Rates report has flat lined. The error seemed to coincide with the changing of a CustomField from a integer to a string. The field is called BugSeverity and is in the Bug Work Item. Originally it was numbers 1-5. During the change process, the Custom Field was removed from the Bug Work Item in the Process Template and the Project Bug Work Item Template. The field was then deleted from TFS using the witfields command line tool. The BugSeverity field was then recreated as a string and re-added to the Process Template and to each Project. Around that time the Bug Rates report flatlined. However, we had had this same problem previously and it was solved by rebuilding the TFS warehouse. Rebuilding the warehouse did not solve the problem this time. Here is the initial error message. The stack trace is much longer. I am just providing the intial error.

Thanks Carlos...

I observed that ,when i register the addin thru .rgs file under

HKCU->SOFTWARE'->'Microsoft'->'VisualStudio'->'8.0'->'AddIns' that is under HKEY_CURRENT_USER(for specific user) I do not face any problem .

But when I register the addin under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE(For all users) that is

HKLM->SOFTWARE'->'Microsoft'->'VisualStudio'->'8.0'->'AddIns' ….i encounter the issue.

Steps followed:

Register the addin
Open devenv ,Addin is observed under Tools menubar.
Unregister the addin
Addin is removed from devenv
But when I register the addin again,it does appear in Addin Manager under Tools option but it is not visible in Tools option.
