Here are some screen shots from VS2010 Beta. The first thing I noticed is that Team Explorer is (finally) installed with the base install. The new look has an Expression-Blendy feel to it… Also, I noticed that it defaults to a single tool bar line at the top. Nice!

In Visual Studio click on Debug –> Exceptions, and when the dialog box appears click “Add”. Fill it in as below: Be sure to check when “Thrown”. Now your code will break on the C# code where the error is thrown and you can find it more easily. Technorati Tags: WPF,XAML,Visual Studio...
The first thing I did after downloading BabySmash was to begin building an on-screen keyboard. I installed Microsoft Expressions, but quickly became frustrated. That was a surprise to me because I am a Photoshop pro!! (On portraits anyway). Despite the admonishing of many, I switched over to Visual Studio and began coding my keyboard by hand. Now I was on much more familiar territory! I do plan to return someday to Expressions when I have a more open mind. But for now, I want to build DrewbieSmash!...
Last I attended a TFS User Group meeting in Minneapolis. Bill Maurer explained how Microsoft used Team Foundation Server to build the next release of Visual Studio. It was really interesting to hear how the development team used TFS to track their own work. The most interesting thing to me was to hear about how TFS is being used to manage Java projects (Not at Microsoft of course!) Previously it had not occurred to me to consider TFS as anything other than a .NET development tool. But, of, course,...
One of the questions that came out of my TFS talk at the Magenic Technology Summit was: How do you go about customizing one of the existing templates provided for TFS, such as MSF Agile? We may want to add new types for Work Items, for example, or add new states that work items can be in. The easiest way to do this is through the Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server Power Tools. If you do not have the Power Tools installed, you can still do this by editing the XML that makes up the...
The Magenic Technology Summit in Chicago on Friday, June 20 is just around the corner! This is a FREE event with many amazing speakers such as Jay Schmelzer, Group Program Manager on the Visual Studio Team at Microsoft and Rockford Lhotka, Magenic’s Principal Technology Evangelist. I will be presenting: Really…what is Team Foundation Server? Team Foundation Server (TFS) has been out on the market for a couple years and there is still more confusion about it, what it does and who can benefit from...
There are many ways to run a test in VSTS: From the Test View window, from the Test List window, and from the Test Results window, to name a few. VSTS then runs the test in the IIS or the ASP.NET Development Server Process. But what if you want to step through a test? How do you set a breakpoint? Microsoft has documented the "official" answer here: However, I have found a much simpler way to accomplish this: Run your tests from within Visual Studio runtime. To do this, rather than running your tests...
After setting up my project in TFS, I wanted to configure the system so that my work items in my project would show only specific users as "Assigned To" choices. The default is to include all users in the TFS Valid Users group. After setting up my user and group security, I exported my Work Item Template using the witexport utility and running the following command: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\witexport" /f "C:\WIT\Task.xml" /t MyServer /p MyProject /n task I found the...
After creating your team project you need to set up the roles and users for your team members. There are three main places that you need to do this: The Visual Studio project, the project portal, and the report site. The easiest way to manage your TFS security is to create AD groups and populate them with the appropriate users. If you choose to use AD groups to manage your group memberships, you will end up with four types of groups: AD (Windows) groups, Team Project Groups, Team Foundation Server...
I took Jeff McWherter's suggestion to play around with SubText, and have successfully gotten SubText upgraded and running in VS 2008, .NET 3.5. My environment is the "Visual Studio® Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server and Team Suite VPC Image (Trial)" Virtual PC from Microsoft. Here are the steps that I followed: 1. Download and unzip the latest source code from SourceForge 2. Open Visual Studio 2008 Team Edition and Create a new Team Project (File - New - Team Project). I selected the MSF For...
