  • Import Visual SourceSafe into Team Foundation Server

    I did a Visual SourceSafe to Team Foundation Server conversion today using VSSConverter.  It was surprisingly painless except for 2 issues. 1. The documentation says that you need to install SQLExpress in order to do the migration.  This made me go and install SQLExpress before I noticed that later in the documentation it says that…

  • Force Team Foundation Server To Update The Warehouse

    Ever sat in front of Team Foundation Server (TFS) pulling your hair out for why work item changes or builds that you KNOW exist aren’t showing up in the reports?  The reasonis that the TFS Warehouse hasn’t been updated.  It gets updated on a schedule and if the update hasn’t run, your reports are going…

  • Great book: "Software Engineering with Microsoft Visual Studio Team System"

    I’ve been reading everything that I can get my hands on about Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) and Team Foundation Server (TFS) lately since I’m developing a course.  Most of the books are excellent (for example, “Visual Studio 2005 Team System” by Jean-Luc David and Chris Bowen) but they focus on the cookbook, technical features of the product…

  • NUnit Test Attribute Execution Order

    I went looking to find the order in which NUnit executes the test attributes/events.  Oddly enough, I couldn’t find it.  (Maybe I’m not googling it properly.) Anyway, here’s the NUnit attribute event order: TestFixtureSetUp SetUp Test TearDown Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 for each test that’s being run in this fixture. TestFixtureTearDown -Ben

  • Virtual Server 2005 R2 Not Detecting Physical Network Card

    I got a new laptop a few days ago and I’ve been re-installing all my dev tools and servers on it.  Tonight I installed Virtual Server 2005 RC2 and couldn’t get it to detect the wireless network card (NIC).  It detected the wired NIC but not the wireless.  I couldn’t get Virtual PC 2005 to detect…
