  • Tagged.

    There’s a “meme” running around the blogosphere called “5 things tag”.  I just found out about it today (cuz I’m not very cool) when I got tagged by Michael Ruminer and Ben Scheirman. Here are 5 things you might not know about me: My friends say that I do a pretty good George W. Bush impression…

  • Custom Installer Actions: Edit Connection Strings, IIS Directory Security Settings, etc.

    When I need to deliver a web application to a client, I create a Setup/Deployment Project and then send them the .MSI file.  This makes it super easy to make sure that all the dependencies are there and that the web directory gets set up in IIS.  It eliminates 80% of the deployment hassle.  The…

  • COMException When Trying to Access Any Member For an IIS DirectoryEntry

    I’ve been playing around with writing a Custom Installer Actions for a VS2005 Web Application Deployment Project (aka Web Application Installer).  The most challenging thing after figuring out the syntax weirdnesses for Custom Installers was manipulating IIS from C#.  There are a ton of blog entries out there on how to manipulate IIS from .NET…

    I just spent a couple of days migrating my remaining (important) VS2003 Web Application code to VS2005.  It had its frustrating moments but each of those frustrating moments reminded my why it was such a great idea to dump the VS2003 Web App code.  The #1 biggest problem was getting VS2003 Web Applications to actually…

  • How to run an MSBuild "Desktop Build" without running tests.

    I’ve been playing around with doing “desktop builds” with MSBuild.  A “desktop build” is where you’d take the build script that describes a Team Foundation Server Team Build and run it on your local machine instead of through the TFS Build Server.  There’s a page on the MSDN site that tells you how to do…

  • Making pre- and post-deployment scripts run in a VSTS DBPro build.

    I’m going to be doing the keynote at the launch of Visual Studio Team Editor for Database Professionals (aka VSTS DBPro, “data dude”) tomorrow.  I wanted to play around with creating default values in lookup tables as part of my demo.  DBPro gives you this functionality through pre-deployment and post-deployment scripts.  You write your own…
