    - Which perf counter tells me how long a web service call is taking? You may also be able to use timers in the unit test. This is the same thing as transactions in a web test and will show up on the transaction table in a load test.

    - 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.

    - Disable Team Publish in MSP 2007? As Jeff mentioned above the permissions are based on the Areas and Iterations and these permissions are applicable for all the clients (say Team Explorer, MS Project, Excel or other 3rd Party clients) that access workitems. So there is no out of the box support for disabling just Publish using MS Project for certain users. Tag: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation error "exited with code 255" Visual Studio

    - Document workflow on TFS? The short answer is that TFS currently, whether you use SCC or WSS, doesn't provide a full solution. To me, a full solution includes: Workflow Web access Traceability (link doc to work item) Branching/Labeling Querying I will say that our direction is to use WSS to handle documents for TFS-based projects, and continue to enhance that integration to get a full solution. For now, to get the branching/labeling, you'd have to handle that manually with WSS, that is, copy the files to a new document library to create the "branch" Having said that, I believe there is a strong case for SCC, especially if whoever is writing the requirements doesn't have an aversion to working VIsual Studio / TFS / Source Control. Many of our customers say their requirements anaylsts won't go near VS. :-) I realize this is not a definite answer, but hopefully it does provide more information. - Gregg Tag: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation error "exited with code 255" Visual Studio

    - 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 error "exited with code 255" 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 error "exited with code 255" Visual Studio

    - Keeping database and code changes in sync Well, we decided on option 4, which is working good so far: We branched the code for our database project in TFS. The DBA does all of his work in his branch. Now he can check anything in whenever he wants because he's checking into his branch and it's not going to get into our build until we merge it into the main trunk. Then, when the developer working on that feature is ready, they merge the SQL code changes over from the DBA's branch to the main trunk, make the code changes, and then check it all into the main branch together. We're giving it a trial run, but so far it's been working well. Tag: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation error "exited with code 255" Visual Studio

    - visual studio database projects Well - you can't get there from here No, seriously - I think you need to get the stored procedure into the Project. Once the Project is established, we don't reference the original database any more at all (unless you make it your outgoing target, in which case we recognize it at deployment time). Our model is in the Database Project, and if the stored procedure isn't in the Project, then we know nothing of its existence. And therefore, of course, can't evaluate it for the changes. I'm curious - is there a compelling reason to keep this procedure out of the project Obviously you want to update it at the same time you update it underlying table - otherwise, it's, well, broken. So what is the advantage of excluding it from the project Remember, if you just want to add it as a single SP, you can always script the procedure out of the database and then use DBPro's Project/ Import Script to add it into the Database Project, even tho' the project already exists... Let us know if this makes sense to you... Tag: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation error "exited with code 255" 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.

    - Get latest of files in a solution file through the command line It is very hard to write this kind of tool, because you need to process sln, project and suo files. Suo files are binary and I don't know if their format is public. The reason you would need to play with them is because paths in the other files (sln/proj) are not always the correct after you do "Open from Source Control". Instead of changing them, Visual Studio adds translation table in suo and changes the paths on the fly. Your tool would need to do this if you want to handle all kinds of solutions/projects scenarios. Tag: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation error "exited with code 255" Visual Studio

    - Problems using <SetVariables> in various places Try putting the setvar property after the import of our .targets file. If the MSBuild property is not defined when the setvar property is processed the variable is resolved as an empty string. Since the .user file is imported as part of the processing of our .targets file putting the setvar property after the import will ensure that the variables are defined. We do not merge setvar properties �C the last one defined ��wins.�� Although these look more complex than regular MSBuild properties they really just regular properties (like AutoShrink), we are taking advantage of the MSBuild support for arbitrary XML inside a property. I have not tried the XML parsing code with comments �C I wrote the code to be pretty forgiving if there are unexpected elements. I will have to give it a try �C do you have an example of the XML that is failing or providing inconsistent results Tag: Team Foundation Server - Build Automation error "exited with code 255" Visual Studio

    - Project References Then you need to reference the project itself, not just the compiled output. If that is a problem, then there are a couple of things you could do to mitigate the overhead of referencing Project B: - create a new solution just containing Project A and Project B. This can be your own custom solution, you don't have to have the solution file under source control or share it with anyone else, just keep it private. - set Project B to not build (Build -> Configuration Manager), you can save some time that way.

    - ReportViewer - table in report from two tables from dataset I suppose, but I don't know how to do it. Depending on exactly what it is you intend to implement, you could probably do it using embedded code in the fields. However, if you're extracting data from two or more tables according to a query (or doing the logical equivalent of a query through some other means), then a table is the most obvious and arguably easiest to use construct for holding and passing around the results. The ReportViewer also makes displaying data from a single table a snap.

Try replacing "call" with "cmd /c". The error code "255" usually means that it is not able to find the file you are asking it to execute. "call" is usually used inside batch or command files and not directly as an exectuable.
