    - Space needed for web services/version control? I had thought very little space was needed for the team foundation server directories, but I noticed under web services, version control it is almost 1 GB of space now. How much space should we expect the web stuff to use Also if we had to move the web stuff on to the NAS on the same machine due to space, what would be the best way to do that Thanks.

    - WitImport updating two different TF servers We have a production TF server and have a copy of the production server which we added for testing template changes. We're running into a problem where when a template is pushed to our test server, it acutally ends up updating both. The test server is a backup/restore of our production, but is on a different physical server. Both servers are running the same templates. Has anyone come across a problem like this before Tag: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation Building on Alternate machine - Team Build Visual Studio

    - Can't install at all... any ideas? VB Studion 2005 installed fine on my desktop. I have an HP dv8000 (1.25 ram, Moble AMD 64 cpu). I am running Vista Home Premium, 64. I have disabled my AV program and tried to install Studion a number of times, each time it just hangs on installing Microsoft Document explorer. Any ideas (I really miss VB 6, produced nice tight little programs with a minimum of fuss and none of the "user experience" *** that has become the rage....)

    - How to create a DSL solution template? Hello all, i want to create my own dsl solution template, so that it integrates into the domain-specific language designer wizard, like the default templates "class-diagramm", "component", "task flow" do. I had a look into the provided "DSLToolsSolution.template" files, but they seem to differ from Standard vstemplate-files. How can that be achieved BTW: A nice feature for future dsl tool releases would be an explicit support for extension-opportunities of core-metamodels, in the way you have it with uml-Packages and the "merge"-directive or with the uml-Profile extensionpoint-feature for the uml-metamodel, which both provide ways to extend existing m2-metamodels. Surely, the existing dsl solution template mechanism provides a simple way to import a base-metamodel, but i do not want to see the complete base-model in the designer again, but only the provided extensionpoints. Thank you for your answers in advance -ujsr Tag: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation Building on Alternate machine - Team Build Visual Studio

    - Read only manual test When you run a manual test, a Pass/Fail checkbox is displayed, along with a comments box, and a read only view of your manual test, this manual test is then saved as part of the test reults, what I think would be useful would be if the manual test was not read only, but could be edited while the test was being run. This would mean that in the word template another column could be created beside the "expected result" called "actual result" and any comments could be added beside a particular step, rather than in the comments text box, is there any way to allow this Tag: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation Building on Alternate machine - Team Build Visual Studio

    - adding control flow instructions Hi... I am relatively new to Phoenix. Can someone please clarify this : Here's what I am trying to do : I have a loop which has been identified after building the flow graph (as given in one of the tutorials). So I have the set of basic blocks which form a part of the loop. Now I need to add an IF condition outside(i.e containing the loop) the loop. So can I just insert branch IR instructions to implement IF condition Do I have to modify the flowgraph to reflect the new change (do I have to build basic blocks and insert them in the flowgraph) how do I go about this It would be helpful if someone can answer my queries. thanks...

    - FXCop vs. 2005 Code Analysis ? Hi, sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm trying to find out about "coding standards enforcement", and have been asked to look at FXCop. It would appear to be from Microsoft and that leads me to ask what the difference is between FXCop and the "Code Analysis" that seems to be built in to VS2005 There seems to be some (or complete) overlap, but nowhere seems to explain what the difference is and why one would choose one over the other. I presume that we would need to write customised rules (maybe) but can't seem to see where that would fit in to either solution - although both seem to support it. From a development team point of view, which is the easier to manage so that, for example, we don't have to select which rules to run on a per-project basis, and can ensure that the same set of (customised) rules are used by all the developers. Obviously, this sounds a bit like VS Team-server-whatever, so I presume that I also need to investigate what that offers. Any guidance or pointers would be gratefully received.

    - SubReportProcessing event not firing I am running VS 2005 SP1 on WinXP Pro, IIS 5.1. I built a ReportViewer WebForms web site. Reports without subreports seemingly work fine. Any report that contains a subreport however, does not work when I publish them and run through normal IIS. If I debug my application and use the IDEs IIS, the reports always work. The first line of code inside of the subreport event is a call to log to the database so I have a papertrail...I never get the log entry. The web-site throws NO errors. The reports simply hangs (ie, nothing from the main report is displayed either). Do I have a problem with security settings ie the context under which IIS runs vs the debug IIS Im not sure why standard reports (no sub-reports) works then. Any thoughts ' Reset the report viewer control rvViewer.Reset() ' Set processing mode rvViewer.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Local 'populate datatable ...

    - Missing references: CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.CommLayer I have recently added a Crystal Report to my project, and now I am having a hard time getting fxcop to find the references. I am receiving the following messages: Missing references were ignored for X. Results might be compromised or incomplete. and Could not resolve reference to X for the following assemblies: CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.CommLayer CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers I have tried using the /d: parameter with fxcop to point out the assemblies location in the GAC, however that does not seem to be working. Ultimately it would be nice to get this issue corrected, however at this point I would be happy with an option to always ignore for those assemblies. Here is a copy of the script that I am using to launch FxCop: Code Snippet @ECHO OFF REM Command Line Parameters REM %1 - $(SolutionDir) REM %2 - $(TargetPath) REM %3 - $(TargetName) ECHO Running FxCop on %2...

    - OutputDir has different behavior with msbee I want to build 1.1 and 2.0 projects with msbuild and I don't want them treated differently during the build process. I want my 2.0 build results to be put into the same outputdir as my 1.1 build results, however, in MSBuildExtras.Fx1_1.Common.targets there is logic in there which changes the value of the OutputDir to include a [debug|release] subdirectory which I cant seem to get rid of. I don't want this. Is there a simple work around that won't have me modifying this file Help please. Thanks.

    - $(MSBuildProjectDirectory) hi, i have a questions regards $( MSBuildProjectDirectory ) property, for example when I create <DevSourceDir> tag in the msbuild file I want to assign it to my current project Directory, which is very simple just use MSBuildProjectDirectory but my problem is, I don��t want to use the full path that is coming from MSBuildProjectDirectory I want to actually delete the last part of the path, for example MSBuildProjectDirectory = c:\program file\software1\source\BuildScript But all I need from MSBuildProjectDirectory is = c:\program file\software1\source So I don��t want the last part (\Build Script), so in my case I want to do this <DevSourceDir> $(MSBuildProjectDirectory) excluding this part (\BuildScript) </DevSourceDir> And the problem here is off course every time you install the project with source code you can install it in different directory so I have to use $(MSBuildProjectDirectory) but in every case it will add this part to the end of it \BuildScript and I don��t want to use the last part, and same time I will not be able to play with any .cs files or add any other code to update such path, so I need to find a way to delete the last part of $(MSBuildProjectDirectory) within the msbuild file it self maybe using some condition tags, is such thing possible within the msbuild file it self. Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks Qussai Tag: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation Building on Alternate machine - Team Build Visual Studio

    - Visual J# in a beginning java college course ? Is using Visual J# in a beginning java college course appropriate I'm considering using VJ# in a first programming course as an alternative to JBuilder and J2SE. Given install problems other students have had, VJ# seems like a nice alternative. I intend to let the student decide which tools to use based on their peer/employer's preference. I expect criticism. But: 1. Most of my students are using WinXP. 2. VJ#.Net Express is free and has an outstanding GUI. 3. Code written in VJ#, via the Mono Project could always be ported to other platforms. 4. Java compiler source seems close to moving into Open Source - I think! So whichever choice the students makes, learning the essentials of Java programming can be accomplished.

    - Anyone using TestToolsTask-1.1 ? TestToolsTask-1.1 is the new task that Buck Hodges posted to allow test running without owning the VS test version. I am having some problems with it. I have replaced the Original TeamFoundation targets and also added the PowerToys assembly to the PrivateAssemblies folder. I have the following set with the .proj file: < RunTest > true </ RunTest > And then I have the following: <MetaDataFile Include=" "> <TestList> </TestList> </MetaDataFile> --> < TestContainerInOutput Include = " %2a%2a\%2aTest.dll " /> Since I have everything configured correctly I am not sure why my tests aren't being run. I assume TestContainerInOutput is suppose to find all my Test Assemblies and run tests within them. Well....I gave it the above recursive path so I assume it is suppose to find the DLLs. It isn't finding them because it isn't running them. The results aren't being shown it the build report so I am assuming the tests aren't being run. Am I missing something The directory structure on the build machine is as follows: Build Directory: C:\Builds\ Team Project Folder: \TPS\ Build Type Folder: \ Nightly Build Type\ Three Folders with in Build Type Folder: \Binaries\ ; \BuildType\ ; \Sources\ Where is it suppose to be locating the Test Assemblies to run Any Guidance is appreciated Thanks -Ken Villines Tag: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation Building on Alternate machine - Team Build Visual Studio

    - Unable to connect to the controller I've been doing load testing for serveral months on a test rig with 8 agents. My tests have been working well until a couple of days ago when I started seeing tests fail and event log entries on the agents involved with the following messages: Unable to connect to the controller on 'wal1bajc.cis.concentra.corp:6901'. Computer name could not be obtained. Unable to connect to the controller on 'wal1bajc.cis.concentra.corp:6901'. The write operation failed, see inner exception. I noticed that disk space was low on the controller (less than 200 MB) but didn't see any improvement when I made over 1GB available. This problem only seems to happen when I'm running all or most of my agents. For example, if I see this problem on Agent 6 on a test involving 7-8 agents, I can rerun the test for a single agent and see the same data pushed through Agent 6 work successfully.

Hi All,
I have an issue where in I need to list the possible list of build machines in the "Build" window.
(You can find a drop down for "Build Machine" when you start a Team Build.)

Consider the scenario, where in I have Team Builds T1 & T2 running in machine M1.
And T3 & T4 are running in machine M2.

The build T1 is running on M1 and at the same time, I need to kick-off T2.
Obviously, I cannot start T2 on M1 as M1.
Now I have machine M2 that is idle, but the user has to type it.

If it were possible to list the preset machine list under "Build Machines" drop-down in the build window, that would help the developers from typing different machine names.

Thanks in advance..!

Re: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation Building on Alternate machine - Team Build

Swaha Miller

From your description, it sounds like you are using Team Build v1. In v2, we do have a drop-down list of Build Agents that you can pick from to queue a build.
