TSWA tip: Copy a bug to quickly file a new bug in an area related to the original

Buck Hodges

Like Team Explorer, Team System Web Access does not support work item templates yet (though you can get a power tool work item template add-in for Team Explorer 2005 -- look for power tools for TFS 2008 in December).  However, you can use the "Create Copy of Work Item" feature to copy a work item that's similar to the one you want to file.&nbs...

Martin Woodward’s presentation on what’s new in TFS 2008

Buck Hodges

Martin Woodward has a posted a great set of slides from a presentation he did on what's new in TFS 2008.  After going through all of the features other than build, he spends more than half of the slides on the build features of TFS 2008 (aka Team Build).  I highly recommend taking a look at the slides, particularly if you haven't paid clo...

There have been a few questions about how to correctly uninstall all of VS 2008 Beta 2 in order to install the final version of VS 2008.  Scott Guthrie posted the steps for doing this earlier today.  A subset of this list would apply if you have installed Team Foundation Team Explorer 2008 Beta 2, rather than the full VS 2008 with Team Ex...

Turning off Just-in-Time Debugging on your servers

Buck Hodges

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...

Buck Hodges

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...
