Visual Studio Team System How to pass value of a context parameter to a web/load test via VS command prompt
Hi, I've a web test that has a context parameter (say pageurl). I am able to set a value in the VS and run from both VS and cmd prmt. How ever if I want to run the same webtest for a different value, is it possible for me to set the value @ cmd prmt and run the webtest (I'll not set the value of CP in the VS). This way, I can make my webtest more generic. if this particular webtest is passed as a value for a load test, will it be able to actually hit the page URL I've set via cmd prmt Thanks in advance. Yes, setting an environment variable on your local machine will no affect tests running from a controller. In that case, you'd need to set the environment variable on each agent machine, but that's really a difficult solut ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System Debugging a custom task?
How does one go about debugging a custom task At present I am relying on Log.LogMessage etc which is quit etedious. My build project is not overly complex but I do make use of variables passed in from ItemGroups and PropertyGroups. I am also hitting the TFS api in this task. I read somewhere of creating a mock build engine object but that would be more for unit testing, and not actually real-time testing. Is it possible to attach to the msbuild process and then step through the code Those of you who have created custom tasks, can you share your thoughts Thanks! In general, the answer is to include System.Diagnostics and insert a Debugger.Break() statement - this will allow you to attach the debugger to the msbuild.exe process. Thi ...Show All

Windows Forms datagrid troubles with stored procedure (vs 2003)
I have the following code: Dim daGrid1 As New SqlDataAdapter(Me.SqlCommand1) (a stored proc) Dim dsGrid1 As New DataSet dsGrid1.Clear() daGrid1.Fill(dsGrid1, "top") DataGrid1.DataSource = dsGrid1.Tables("top").DefaultView I set the command to a stored proce and fill a dataset, then set the datagrid1 to the dataset table. I can then see the data grid on the form filled out. I need to change the column headings, hide some columns, then click on a row, and get the hidden field and pass it on to another form. I thought I would need a table style for that. But when I try to add one, I get: "The data grid table styles collection already contains a table style with the same mapping name." ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System Viewing TFS Project Work Items on corresponding WSS Team Project Portal
Salam, We've just installed MS TFS Trail Version for evaluation. Next, we created a new Team Project and chosed the MSF Agile Process for the project. The wizard creates a WSS Team Project Portal for the project. A number of tasks were automatically created on TFS work items lists by the wizard. Now, I opened the WSS Team Project Portal and navigated to the tasks list, the tasks that I could view on TFS Team Explorer are not listed in WSS Team Project Portal Tasks List, shouldn't they I did nothing except following the wizard steps, should any further settings and configurations be applied so as to view the same tasks list on both Team Explorer and Portal Is it something to do with being using the trail version Any advice is highly ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System Please help! TF30177 Team project creation failed. (Creation of first and only project)
Hi all, I've been trying for over a week to get the trial version of Team Foundation Server to Install on a Win2k3 server. Each time I've come across a problem and managed to resolve it, but this one has got me stumped :( I've read a lot of postings about this, all of which i have tried and have been unsuccesful. The error log is detailed below, I've included only the problem part, but can post the rest if required. The fundamental problem is that I cannot create any new projects in Team Server, getting the error shown below.

Windows Forms Problem adding files to deployment project.
I am having problems adding text files (xml) to a deployment project. I check out the deployment project and try to add a file (from both the File System View and the Solution Explorer). I select the desired file from the Add File dialog and click Open. The Add File dialog closes and nothing happens. In the past I found when I observed this behavior I had to make sure the file I was trying to add was writable so I would check it out from the source control (I am using ClearCase) and I would be able to add the file. Now this doesn't seem to make a difference, no matter what I do, the Add File dialog closes and nothing happens. I have not seen any sort of error message anywhere obvious. I can add project outputs, but not files. Has anyone se ...Show All
