TechEd 2008 FAQ: Branching and Merging with Team Foundation Server

Posted Wednesday, June 18, 2008 2:48 PM by CRathjen
This was the most popular question asked at our booth (and perhaps all of the VSTS area) at Tech Ed Developers 2008. It was asked in various forms, but they all boil down to basically the same question: How should I manage branching and merging? Some Read More...

Must go faster...must go faster!

Posted Friday, August 25, 2006 10:39 AM by CRathjen
In addition to being Jeff Goldblum's favorite one-liner ( apparently ), this is a pretty common expression for anyone dealing with computers. My experience has been that, aside from the very day you get a brand new machine, you probably wish it could Read More...

Team Foundation Server: Why are my files transferring so slowly?

Posted Thursday, May 11, 2006 2:59 PM by CRathjen
I'm not sure if anyone "in the field" has run into this (yet), but it's happened to us a couple times internally now, and I figured other folks might be interested in the issue. We've seen situations where larger files (in the latest case, 100 meg) take Read More...

Q: Resolve dialog is empty even though I have conflicts

Posted Thursday, March 09, 2006 9:15 AM by CRathjen
Various people have hit some variation of the following: "When I checked out a file, I got a message saying there was a newer version in source control. But, when I ran resolve, it said there were no conflicts to resolve. What gives?" There are at least Read More...

Which came first, the product or the patch?

Posted Monday, March 06, 2006 11:03 AM by CRathjen
I'm setting up a Version Control Proxy for this week's manual testing efforts (flavor of the week: OS and product language settings are Japanese, topped off with setting the calendar to The Japanese Emperor Era ). I'm running into a new variation of the Read More...

Accessing Team Foundation Remotely: Fast, Faster, Fastest!

Posted Friday, February 24, 2006 5:07 PM by CRathjen
We've had quite a few folks asking about TF Version Control's performance, especially in the remote access scenario. Buck wrote up a nice post awhile back on the remote access story; you can still find it here . The good news is that, even leaving customer Read More...

My file's bigger than yours!

Posted Wednesday, January 18, 2006 4:04 PM by CRathjen
As you probably know by now, we intend to support versioning even very large files in Team System. Last I checked, I believe the only hard limit was a question of how big your database's hard disk is. We've had to fix a few issues (and had to get ASP.Net Read More...

Choose your client. But choose wisely...

Posted Tuesday, December 06, 2005 4:43 PM by CRathjen
As you may know, Team System is not just for developers, but for all members of a software development team - testers, project managers, and architects, as well as developers (and, if you look at XNA , artists, sound engineers, modelers...the list goes Read More...

TLAs, part 2: ZBB/ZRB

Posted Tuesday, November 08, 2005 1:30 PM by CRathjen
You might not see these as much as RTM or even OGF , but they're the two that are currently at the forefront of the team's minds. The devs are chasing ZBB - the Zero Bug Bounce. I've also heard it defined as the "Zero Bug Balance" or "Zero Bug Backlog", Read More...

What's an OGF?

Posted Friday, November 04, 2005 12:45 PM by CRathjen
You may have seen this "Microsoftism" mentioned before - one of our innumerable Three-Letter-Acronyms (TLAs) - the OGF . But, a casual poke around didn't turn up a summary of what it is and how we use the concept (in MS in general, but here on Team Foundation Read More...

So close...yet so far...

Posted Wednesday, October 19, 2005 5:38 PM by CRathjen
There's a LOT to like in the 2.0 version of the Framework and Base Class Library. But, I ran into something today that I feel is missing. Or at least, it'd be really cool of it was there. I want to be able to override the ToString method on an enum. I Read More...

My God, it's full of Edge Cases

Posted Friday, October 07, 2005 5:02 PM by CRathjen
I've posted on resolve before , but I figured it'd be nice to come back and see where things stand in the Beta3->RTM timeframe. When you run get, checkin, or merge, the system can’t always do what you want it to. There are some basic cases – you tried Read More...

The Steering Wheel is Invalid

Posted Wednesday, September 28, 2005 1:02 PM by CRathjen
We wrapped up the Beta3 testpass, as you can probably guess. My favorite questionable translation from the last week of testing: Babelfish claimed an error message generated on the Japanese version of XP translated to "The steering wheel is invalid." Read More...

"SHIP IT!" (virtually)

Posted Monday, September 19, 2005 1:52 PM by CRathjen
In the comments for my last post , nearly everyone was asking for VPC images to be provided along with Beta3 itself. The good news: There will be VPC images made available for the Beta3 release. The not-so- good news: They probably won't be available Read More...
