Sorry I missed you guys yesterday, we had a St. Patty's day party in the afternoon (my usual blog time). I spent most of yesterday and today just fixing away at some bugs. I only have 2 right now that are marked as fixed available (I've got the code but Read More...
Fixed 3 bugs today, not bad. I spent most of the afternoon banging my head up against a build problem having to do with my Win Forms designer created resx files. If I can't get it going in the next hour or so, I'll probably just work with my team tomorrow Read More...
On the VB team, we don't checkin to our source control system (Source Depot or sd) ourselves like mere mortals, we use the automated checkin system called Gauntlet. Gauntlet runs as an .hta app that collects your unsubmitted changelist, asks for some Read More...
This week VB dev is "going dark" to fix bugs. This means we shut our doors, turn off Outloook, and get some real work done. We've peeled off Beta 2 and are working hard to drive down RTM bugs. By this point in the paragraph, you're probably thinking that Read More...
So I've spent the last few days devoting my spare time to moving the build process for the DLL that I work on (Micrsoft.VisualStudio.Publish.dll) to build with the new MSBuild rather than Build.exe (our current build system). I have to say that I love Read More...

Oops, I meant to metion this when it happened but we entered Ask mode last Monday. We've also forked our code base to a new Beta2 branch that has started producing builds. This means that my branch will soon be available for checkins for RTM which is Read More...

I made mention on Channel9 that I'll have more free time come Monday ( http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=35544#35544 ). This lead some to think that Beta 2 would be done and I could move on to RTM. Ha! I wish. When you get closer and closer Read More...

So we're pushing to get Whidbey out the door so I figured I'd take this chance to let you know what I'm doing to make that happen: Re-vamping the signing property page: Should be a lot more approachable now Completing threat models: I only own one model Read More...

A team mate of mine is new to the blog world and has posted a great piece on the new VS hosting process . Check it out! I actually helped prototype the hosting process when I was an intern 2 years ago. When I wrote it, it was an out of proc COM component Read More...

First, I got an email asking if ClickOnce supports passing of command line parameters in the URL query string. The answer is a definitive maybe. Your manifest will have a flag in it specifying whether or not to trust those URL parameters. If it's set Read More...
In higher SKUs of Visual Studio, there is a signing property page that is used for signing the assembly as well as your ClickOnce manifests (it's pretty lame in Beta 1 but I just finished rewriting it for Beta 2 and it's pretty sweet). Unfortunatly for Read More...

Okay, time to catch up a bit. This last week I've been working on a DCR (fixing up the signing property page) so I haven't had time to blog. Now that it's finished, I'm going to make up for lost time and get two quick blog entries out there. ClickOnce Read More...
So my post yesterday was the first one in a long while. I've been pretty bad about this blog thing since I started but this year is going to be different. As you've probably read from other bloggers here at MS, we've recently gone through our review process Read More...
