    - CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore version 10 installed in GAC by VS 2005 but can't be referenced to Hi, I created a new Crstal Report project in VS 2005 and it automatically created References to CrystalDecisions objects. However when I build the project it failed. It ended up that refernce versions mismatch. To be specific, CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, CrystalDecisions.ReportSource etc are of version 10.2.3600.0 while CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework and CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore are of version 9.2.3300.0 I found the framework and infostore version 10.2.3600.0 from the GAC but their DLL are nowhere to be found. How do I fix this issue to make reference from the VS 2005 work right Thanks in advance! Min Tag: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation workspace - what is it? Visual Studio

    - WSSF Hi, can anyone point me in te right direction I have found WSSF and the guidance package recipes helpful for providing out of the box WCF services that use CRUD queries against single rows in the DB. Can anyone first: Point me to the best way to retrieve multiple rows for binding to gridviews or dropdownlists in the client. A simple example would be great. For example, if I wanted retrieve the name and id of all the records in an SQL server table, say 50 rows and bind to a dropdownlist. I get the crud recipe to provide List<blah> in repository. Then what has to happen in the contracts and implementation etc. Nothing seems to work and its probably very easy. Is there some sort of translation required Second. Are there any WSSF implementation examples anywhere that operate on multiple rows etc. Everything I look up does operations on just one row at a time. If I knew how to return list<data> using the WSSF recipes the flood gates for uses would open up. Thanks in advance. Tag: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation workspace - what is it?

    - Document workflow on TFS? Hello, We are implementing TFS and there is a methodology describing the processes we have to follow during the development of new features. The initial work is done on top of several Word docs (Vision Document, Use Cases, Test Cases and so on). We would like to create some kind of workflow like : 1. The Requirements guy creates the Use Cases doc; 2. The Quality guy now has to review and approve the Use Cases. 2a. If approved, the Architect starts turning Use Cases into taks to the Developers; 2b. If not, Requirements guy receives the "Why Not Approved" doc and goes to 1; 3. Development guy picks one task and codes it; ... And etc. Since TFS has a Source Code Control feature, we initially thought about storing the docs on TFS SCC, but I could not see how to implement the workflow control if the docs are on the SCC. Perhaps I'm not using TFS right It would be better do to the workflow on the team project portal TFS creates Is there any drawbacks on storing the docs on SharePoint instead of TFS SCC Have you guys any experience on a scenario like this Thanks a lot, GB Tag: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation workspace - what is it?

    - Support of IDE's that don't have integration support We have developments for embedded platforms that don't always use Visual Studio IDE or have an IDE that has support for MSSCCI. Some of the areas that these developers are having problems with: 1. When performing a checkin on a folder, is there a way to have the SCE check for new files in the folder and add those with the ones that are being checked in. 2. When performing a checkin on a folder, if files are deleted, is there a way for the checkin to continue until completion and then have the warning about files being deleted. Are there solutions or workarounds to these that anyone might know of Tag: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation workspace - what is it? Visual Studio

    - which is the Start and end API function for any operation in MSSCCI Hi all, I am developing Source control plugin using MSSCCI APIs. I am showing one progress window whenever source control API functions get called. I observed that the functions get called with different sequence for different operations. And for single operation many API functions get called sequentially. Currently I am showing progress window in every API function start and hiding it at end of that API function. I can not keep it in SHow mode because I don't know which next function get called in sequence. So My progress window get flickered because of show and hide in every function. I want to make progress window stable. i.e. show progress window when first API function get called and hide at the end of last API function. Is there any common function that MUST get called at start and end of any source control operation At least is there any last function that always get called for any operation so that i can hide progress window at single location. I observed that for every operation start and end operatoin entry in source control output window. So I think there must be some function to solve my problem. thanks in advance Pravin Tag: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation workspace - what is it? Visual Studio

    - Controlling IntelliSense Selection Hi, I'm new to the VS Extensibility and hope you cold help me. What I'm trying to do is control the item that is selected in the IntelliSense via the text that is typed. Just like the shorthand that is present in Visual Assist X. I read in the forums and it seems that IVsCompletionSet is what I need, and I also saw the Automation Samples using EditPoint to get the typed text. But I don't know how to grab the actual items in the IntelliSense when it's opened, and change the selected item. Thank you, Guy.

    - Keeping database and code changes in sync We are using VS for Database Professionals for the first time on our project, and we're having a problem that I have a feeling is a common problem on many projects: 1. Developer tells DBA that task A needs to be done 2. DBA does the work for task A and checks it in 3. Nightly build runs with DBA's changes and rolls out to our testing environment (... testing environment is now broken because current code won't work with DBA's schema changes ...) 4. Developer makes code changes to handle DBA's changes in task A Whenever our DBA checks something in, we run the risk that it will break our testing environment because the code that handles the schema changes may not be complete. What is the best way to handle this Here are some ideas that we've come up with: 1. When the DBA does a task, he shelves his changes in TFS, then undoes his changes and moves on to the next task. Developer goes and gets those changes off the DBA's shelf, makes the necessary code changes and checks it all in together. 2. Developers cannot submit a task to the DBA until they have the code ready to handle the database schema changes that they are asking for. If necessary, developers will shelve changes if the DBA hasn't gotten around to their task yet and then they'll come back to it when the DBA does the task. 3. We create a separate database for our testing environment. We manually promote database changesets to the testing environment when we're sure that the code has been changed to handle schema changes. It seems that all approaches have pros and cons. 1. Pros: code and schema will never be out of sync Cons: if database changes sit on the shelf for a long time, there might be merging problems when the developer finally tries to check them in; after DBA shelves and undoes his changes, some of his schema changes might not be checked into the database that he is working against. 2. Pros: DBA will never break the build. Code is easier to merge than database changes when we bring them off the shelf. Cons: Developer might have to wait longer for the database task to get done because they have to wait to submit the task so that the DBA might finish first (which could still happen anyway); developer has to write code without being able to test it against the database as they go. 3. Pros: DBA will never break the build. Cons: more work maintaining the testing environment, changesets will have to be applied in order in most cases. What approaches have you all used and what worked/didn't work Thanks everyone! Jon Tag: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation workspace - what is it? Visual Studio

    - MSSCCI Source Control Bindings - relative vs absolute pathing We've always had problems branching projects in VSS in that we have always had to remove the source control bindings and replace them every time we branch. The behavior we see is that we can branch just fine, but when we open the branched solution in VS2005, the projects are all pointing to the location we branched from, and any checkin/out will happen in the old branch, not the new one. However, recently a colleague had great results just branching a solution in VSS (6.0) and doing a get on the solution in VS2005, and the bindings were fine - the projects under the solution were already pointing to the new branch without having to unbind/rebind. I started looking at the source control sections between solutions, and I noticed something strange. Some of our solutions use relative pathing to the VSS source control locations and some use absolute pathing. The ones that use absolute pathing have the binding issues, and the ones with relative pathing work just fine without unbinding/rebinding. Here is what we see with solutions that have relative pathing to VSS: SccProjectUniqueName3 = Desktop\\CONNECT\\ApplicationAdapter\\DirectPro\\CONNECT.ApplicationAdapter.DirectPro.csproj SccLocalPath3 = . CanCheckoutShared = false SccProjectFilePathRelativizedFromConnection3 = Desktop\\CONNECT\\ApplicationAdapter\\DirectPro\\ Here is what we see with absolute pathing: SccProjectUniqueName1 = ClientUtilities\\CONNECT.ClientUtilities.csproj SccProjectTopLevelParentUniqueName1 = Desktop.sln SccProjectName1 = \u0022 $/CONNECT-R2/Desktop/ClientUtilities\u0022 ,\u0020PNUAAAAA SccLocalPath1 = ClientUtilities CanCheckoutShared = false So, my question is this - how did we get in this predicament with two different ways of referencing projects in the SCC sections of these two solutions We obviously like the relative pathing solution because it keeps us from unbinding/rebinding all the time, and it "just works" like I would expect a branch action to.

When I try to navigate to fields which have drop-down values, it takes me a long time, sometimes upto 10 or more seconds, just to click on the field and wait for the drop-down to show up.

    - Problems using <SetVariables> in various places Maybe I'm asking for too much, or trying to leverage too much abstraction and cleaningness from SQLCMD-Variables, but here are my findings so far. Maybe someone can shed some light on this: MSBuild vars in SQLCMD-Vars are NOT resolved, if they are placed in the (local) .user file. Having multiple <SetVariables> blocks within .user and .dbproj file seems to cause problems to team-build. The same goes for comments between <Variable> items. I've set the value to a couple of test-variables in various places to try to understand what TeamBuild/MSBuild and VS does, but I can't seem to get a consistent result. I then created multiple <SetVariables> blocks with a comment above it to organize them a bit (yes, I use quite some, like 30-40), but then TeamBuild used the defaults from the PreDeploy-script!! ad 1) Is this a bug or feature ;) ad 2) what's the recommendation on using the <SetVariables> blocks I would like to set all vars in Script.PreDeployment.sql (sort of as a reference with inline-docs), then override different values in various build-flavors - but only those which differ.

    - Total Requests count in Load Test Results is Inconsistent Hi, We are running load test with single WebTest in test mix and constant load of 5 users. Web test issues 3 requests per server. After load test completion we received Total Tests = 160, Total Requests = 483. To investigate additional 3 requests we used Request Plugin and Web Test plugin. In PreWebTest event we logged 164 tests, in PostWebTest, we logged 160 tests. It can explain Total Tests number. I guess, 4 tests were prepared but were not executed because the test time run over. But the RequestPlugin surprised us. We logged 486 requests in PreRequest event and 486 responses in PostRequest event. The same number of requests (486) was logged in IIS log.

    - Project References Project A references Project B that is in the same solution. This enables bringing up source code in Project B using "Go To Definition" in C# editor from Project A. However, if one later removes Project B from the solution, then Project A will no longer build and a new reference to B's DLL itself must be added. If B's DLL itself were referenced even when Project B was in the solution, then Project B could be added/removed from the solution with no effect on Project A's build. Is there some strategy for referencing Projects so that source code navigation works but the build does not depend on the project being in the solution It seems that ideally one would be able to reference projects for source code navigation without having to re-add the reference as a DLL when the referenced project is removed from the solution.

Re: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation workspace - what is it?

Aaron Hallberg - MSFT

A workspace is just a collection of server -> local item mappings. You shouldn't need to specify the workspace for the undo command if you execute it from a mapped directory. If you execute it from an unmapped directory, you will need to specify the workspace that includes the change you want to undo.

To see a list of your workspaces, type "tf workspaces /s:<TFS server>".
