• Simon Honeybone Itanium

  I have an rx2620(2 cpu) W2003 Server ITAINIUM . Anything I should know before I try to install the Express Version of anything What if, any, images can it build Well installing VB Express didn't work on the Itanium. So I installed on my laptop and added the Windows 2003 Server SDK and built a little application for Itanium successfuly and moved it to the Itanium where it wouldn't run... not sure why. Maybe I'm asking the wrong question. How about this: I found out I can't install VB express on my Itanium so I need to develope on my notebook. What do I need to install on my laptop and Itanium to build and run Itanium code Like VB Express, then .Net and W2003 Server SDK Server .net runtime  I think I' ...Show All

• curiousss Query for Work Items with Changesets

  Is it possible to restrict a Work Item Query to only those work items that have associated changesets As Smitha said, this is not supported out of the box. But you can write some code to get the workitems related to changesets. Take a look at http://blogs.msdn.com/narend/archive/2006/08/08/691625.aspx and see whether this helps with your scenario Hello, In v1 you cannot query Work items based on the links(Changeset in your case). We will have rich linked query feature in V2. Regards, ...Show All

• NRJ Build Fails from Jan 01 2007. Versioning issue!! :-(

  Is it just me, or isn't the notion of versioning defaulted to by the AssemblyInfoTask http://www.gotdotnet.com/codegallery/releases/viewuploads.aspx id=93d23e13-c653-4815-9e79-16107919f93e  fundamentally flawed. Assuming major.max.build.revision. Everyone using this task, including Microsoft, seems to be using the strategy that the build number is specified to be DateString with a format of yymmdd, you get something like 061117 on the day of this post or the following if we accept the defaults: 1.0.061117.00 First of all, the actual number (since it gets converted to an integer) becomes 1.0.61117.0 when it gets compiled.  Most importantly, if this was next year (2007) at this time, you get assemblyinfo files u ...Show All

• BradO Updating To New Workflow Transitions after modifying a Process Template

  I'm pretty sure this question makes sense... although I'm prepared to be wrong about that. I need to modify a process template (not CMMI or Agile) to use a new primary workflow by adding new States and Transitions and Reasons. And I can see how to do the template modification part. But then we need to update the backlog of current work items to implement the new workflow. And maybe we need to change all the work item history to display and report and query with the new state names. I can see in the TFS Database tables some places where we might could run some queries to change the names of the historical work items. But its pretty scary to throw down a query on a database as normalized as what TFS looks like with no real understan ...Show All

• maina TF50309 When Subscribing To Notification Event

  We've been having a problem with the Event Notification subscription, and so far we haven't been able to solve it. We're building a small application that encapsulates the Event Notification aspect of Team System, to allow subscription and monitoring of events easily. After testing it with a couple of users, we've encountered a problem: There are users that cannot subscribe to the event notification. My user has no problems, but when another user tries to subscribe, either through the API or through BisSubscribe.exe, it gets the following error: TF50309: You do not have sufficient permissions to perform this operation. That user has no problems using Team System normally, as in through Visual Studio - checking in and out, modif ...Show All
