Continuous Monitoring with CruiseControl.Net

Ralph Willgoss — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 23:26:32 GMT

I heard Owen Rogers on HanselMinutes and thought I would create a tutorial to show how easy it is to setup CruiseControl.Net as a continuous monitoring server.

My tutorial goes into how to schedule CruiseControl.Net to run at certain times and how to incorporate output from a monitoring program in the build report page for easy viewing for all.

You could find all these bits and pieces on the Internet but put together I thought might be a handy reference for people just getting started.

Continuous Monitoring using CruiseControl.Net

Comments, suggestions and feedback welcome!

Resharper 3.0.x not recognised under Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2

If you install Resharper 3.0.x and discover that Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 hasn't recognised it, you need to run the install again with a few special command line arguments:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe /i <full path to installer file>.msi VSVERSION=9.

Error installing .Net 1.1 "Error: internal error 2709 feature GUID for use by Cartman"

I recently rebuilt a dev machine and was trying to install .Net 1.1 and got the following error:
Error: internal error 2709 feature GUID for use by Cartman

It apparently happens when something goes wrong or you have an aborted installation of .Net 1.1 framework.

The fix for this can be downloaded from this address: http://astebner.sts.winisp.net/Tools/dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip

Just run the tool and it cleans up everything, my install then proceded flawlessly.

I found this fix on this post originally: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=9409&SiteID=1

Setting up an ASP.NET Website Development environment using Visual Studio .NET, Subversion and Windows XP

Ralph Willgoss — Fri, 21 Oct 2005 02:21:00 GMT

I've just completed a small ebook/tutorial titled Setting up an ASP.NET Website Development environment using Visual Studio .NET, Subversion and Windows XP [Link updated 23/08/2006] which you can find here [Link updated 23/08/2006].

It covers the following topics:
Setting up IIS 5.1 on Windows XP
Setting up Visual Studio .NET 2003 for debugging
Installing Apache 2.0 on Windows XP
Installing Subversion on Windows XP
Setting up Apache to recognise Subversion repositories
Setting up TortiseSVN
Creating Subversion repositories using TortiseSVN
Setting up for ASP.Net Website Development on Windows XP
Publishing a website from a Subversion Repository

The aim of this ebook is to give a developer a complete set of steps that will allow them to setup their own isolated development environment for developing websites with ASP.Net. This environment includes the ability to debug web applications locally, source control integration and publishing to a development server.

Feedback, improvements and other suggestions are welcome.

COMING SOON....

-> Setting up a Subversion repository viewer

-> Intergrating Subversion source control into Visual Studio.Net

Hi,

I've now moved the Development environment HowTo to the Code Project. The old site will cease to exist in a few days.

You can access the new article here http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/Subversion.asp

Unfortuneately the formatting hasn't ported over very well to the code project style, I will take some time to amend this so its easier to read and follow.
