Dan Moseley, a developer on the MSBuild team, wants to know how you would prioritize features for the next version of MSBuild by asking, How would you spend $100 on MSBuild?  The release of Visual Studio 2008 is imminent, which means the product teams are beginning to work on the future, and he posts about some of the features that they are co...

I saw Mac Noland's post tonight about turning off the just-in-time debugging popup window on his TFS server.  We've had this problem internally.  If you have a debugger installed on your computer, such as Visual Studio or WinDbg, the installation will enable just-in-time debugging such that when something crashes you'll get a window askin...

I last mentioned TFSBuildLab back in August when it reached beta 2.  Peter Blomqvist and Mathias Olausson have now released 1.0.  For those of you who aren't going to move to TFS 2008 in the near future (it ships by the end of this year), you'll want to look into this.  I also posted a list of CI solutions for TFS 2005 about a year a...

[UPDATE]  The final version is now available.  Team System Web Access for TFS 2008 Power Tool CTP is now available! For TFS 2008, TSWA will continue to be a power tool through the TFS 2008 release.  For the release after that, it will be a part of the regular product.  The final release of the TSWA for TFS 2008 power tool will...

[UPDATE 12/21/07]  The build notification tool has now become part of the TFS Power Tools for TFS 2008!  It has new features and quite a few fixes (not to mention that it's a signed binary), so I've removed the attachment from this post. We would have loved to have included in TFS 2008 a build notification tray applet along the lines of C...

Jon Liperi, a tester on Team Build, has put together the post below that explains a number of the issues around using Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals (DBPro) with TFS Build.  Jon previously worked on the DBPro team, so he knows his way around it quite well.  Here are the issues that he covers. This information a...

Dave McKinstry has written a couple of posts on his experiences with Team Build in TFS 2008.  In Introduction to Team Build 2008 for Team Build 2005 Users, he goes over the major new features and how certain things like handling workspace mappings are improved over TFS 2005.  His post includes screenshots and more.  It's a great comp...

I mentioned TFSBuildLab a month ago when it hit beta 1.  Peter Blomqvist and Mathias Olausson have been hard at work and have now released beta 2.  They expect to hit 1.0 in the near future.  If you are looking for features like continuous integration and scheduled builds in TFS 2005, you'll want to give this a try. What is ne...

We discovered and fixed several issues that blocked some users from upgrading from TFS 2005 to TFS 2008 Beta 2.  You can get the instructions and download the two updated executables at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C4015D2F-2383-4270-9AAD-97129590F31D&displaylang=en.

Aaron Hallberg has a written a great post on one of the new extensibility mechanisms we've added to the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets file that forms the backbone of the msbuild process (it's imported by every tfsbuild.proj file and contains all of the targets and properties).  Aaron shows you how to have a different target called for...
