TFS2010: Reconcile Workspace after Gated Checkin is weird if Visual Studio 2010 is Elevated
Problem: After running a TFS2010 Gated Checkin Build, Reconcile Workspace leaves pending changes if Visual Studio 2010 is running with “Elevated” permissions.

TFS2010: Configure IIS from Team Build with a Custom Team Build Workflow Activity
I find that a lot of the applications I write use IIS in some way. Silverlight, ASP.NET, WCF Services – these all usually need an IIS web application in order to run. Since I’m a unit testing / test-driven development kind of a guy and a everything-should-be-repeatable kind of a guy and an if-it-doesn’t-run-from-an-automated-build-then-it-isn’t-real kind…

If you’re coding your Silverlight or WPF app and you’re using the ViewModel Pattern, you’ve probably heard of the INotifyPropertyChanged interface.

When a change happens in a ViewModel property, the property raises INotifyPropertyChanged’s…
