I am half way through the MSMQ Refactor of my TFS Event Handler project and thing are starting to come together...
I have now added my Team Foundation Server EventHandler to CodePlex...
I have found that there is very little content available on the art of selling Team System for developers that want to use it. Developers need to sell it not only to their manager, but to a hole host of people, and it is no small expense to implement it.
As I mentioned in my previous post I am currently building an EventHandler infrastructure for Team Foundation Server.
I am currently toying with the idea of re-engineering to two system services.
I work for a rather large organization and I wanted an easy way for power users of team system to deploy event handlers for the Team Foundation Server events. Essentially they create an assembly with as many EventHandler classes as they like and they can upload their assembly through an administration system, which in turn executes any handlers that exist on the system for any events.
Just got my exam result for the Team Foundation Server, and I passed!
I want to send a .NET assembly as either an System.Reflection.Assembly or as a string over the wire through a Windows Communication Foundation web service. It seems that the class System.Reflection.Assembly can serialize, but is unable to deserialize at the other end. How can this be achieved without sending as a straem of Byte.
Yesterday I visited the Strathclyde University campus to see a half day session from Microsoft's Mike Taulty.
The one thing I do not like about the mobile device center is that it can't sync with the built in windows vista components (Contacts, Calendar and email). This is, I think, a deficiency in the product.
I ran into some problems that I blogged on in my TeamPlain - Install and initial views post. I have got a work around for the long project name problem, but it only works when you really daft project names like ours:
I got an interesting question from our SQL Server DBA team in London today. They asked if you can integrate team server with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. I had a look at the software and could not see TFS source control in the list, so I did a little google and found:
