    Work Item Tracking will use display names for RTM
    Work Item Tracking will use display names for RTM
    Avatar Buck Hodges October 28, 2005 Oct 28, 2005 10/28/05
    In beta 3 (including refresh) and earlier, work items have always been assigned to user names.  For some organizations, that's a real problem, as the user names do not have any relationship to the user's real name.  We have fixed this for RTM.  Brian Harry sent the following email about it, and I thought it was worth sharing (...

    Getting email when someone overrides a policy
    Avatar Buck Hodges October 28, 2005 Oct 28, 2005 10/28/05
    James Manning today pointed out a post from Marcel de Vries showing how to register for email when someone checks in after overriding a policy failure.  While any policy failres and override comment are included in the standard check-in email, this allows you to get an email specifically when someone overrides a policy failure.&...

    Beta 3 refresh released
    Avatar Buck Hodges October 28, 2005 Oct 28, 2005 10/28/05
    Beta 3 of TFS has now been released and should be available on MSDN today (or very soon :-).  The differences between beta 3 and beta 3 refresh are small for most things.  Jeff Beehler wrote about some of the beta 3 refresh differences two weeks ago.  The most important reason for the beta 3 refresh is that it is built ...

    Changing the encoding of a pending add works for RTM
    Changing the encoding of a pending add works for RTM
    Avatar Buck Hodges October 27, 2005 Oct 27, 2005 10/27/05
    I had mentioned in my September 10th post on file type detection that you couldn't change the encoding on a pending add, without undoing the add and re-adding it.  While it won't work in beta 3 or beta 3 refresh, you'll be able to change the encoding on a pending add in the next public release.  That means you can use the edit ...

    Displaying the sizes and dates of files in the server
    Displaying the sizes and dates of files in the server
    Avatar Buck Hodges October 26, 2005 Oct 26, 2005 10/26/05
    Have you wished that the output of the dir command from tf.exe would show you the dates and sizes of the files like cmd.exe's dir command?  Even though tf.exe won't do that in version 1, the version control API provides the call necessary.  This little app is similar to my last post on displaying labels on a file.  You can ...

    Displaying the labels on a file, including label comments
    Avatar Buck Hodges October 25, 2005 Oct 25, 2005 10/25/05
    Unfortunately, there's not a fast, efficient way to see the list of labels in the system with the full comment without also seeing a list of all of the files included in a label.  You also can't efficiently answer the question, "What labels involve foo.cs?"  While this won't be changed for v1, you can certainly do...

    If you want to learn more about web load testing in VSTS, you'll want to check out Ed Glas' webcast on Tuesday, Oct. 25.  Brian Harry has been using VSTS load testing developed by Ed's group to answer the question, "How many users will your Team Foundation Server support?"  Find out how you can do the same for your own web site ...

    Team Foundation Beta 3 Virtual PC is headed your way
    Avatar Buck Hodges October 21, 2005 Oct 21, 2005 10/21/05
    The beta 2 Virtual PC image was hugely popular.  The new Team Foundation beta 3 VPC image is now making its way up to MSDN.  So, later today or Monday you'll be able to download and run a single-server and client beta 3.  Just make sure you have plenty of RAM since you'll be running everything on one machine (say 2GB...

    Beta 3 known bug when comparing large files: “Invalid access code (bad parameter).”
    Avatar Buck Hodges October 20, 2005 Oct 20, 2005 10/20/05
    In the forum, Carl Daniel reported getting the message "Invalid access code (bad parameter)" when comparing two different versions of a file in Team Foundation Source Control Beta 3.Unfortunately this is a bug that was discovered and fixed after beta 3 was released.  The problem is that large files (on the order of 500K) will crash the ...
