As mentioned here, I presented at Atlanta Code Camp over the weekend. It was a really well-run event and I had a lot of fun up there. I met some great people and it seems like my session attendees got pretty excited about the tools that I presented. You can get my slides here: Microsoft […]
If you get this error trying to build your Silverlight application in TeamBuild: C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\Silverlight\v4.0\Microsoft.Silverlight.Common.targets (104): The Silverlight 4 SDK is not installed, and you know that you have it installed on your build machine, don’t panic. There is an easy solution to this: Go to your build definition, select the “Process” tab, and […]
About 2 weeks ago, I did a presentation at Orlando Code Camp, titled “Continuous Integration with TFS”. My goal was to show everyone how easy it is to get started with Team Build and how you can accomplish Continuous Integration out of the box, without any customizations. Obviously, once you get your first taste of […]
As you may already know, TFS includes a very powerful build system called Team Build. Having looked at a few different build systems in the past, I have yet to see one with as much power and flexibility as Team Build. This being its third iterations (2005, 2008, and now 2010), it has grown a […]
It is very common to have a need to run multiple versions of a ClickOnce application, each pointing to different environment (Dev, QA, Prod, etc). There are plenty of resources on the web that show you how to do this manually (for example, this one: http://robindotnet.wordpress.com/2009/04/22/clickonce-installing-multiple-versions-concurrently/). Basically, you have to change the assembly name and […]
In addition to organizing the event, I’m giving a talk on “Continuous Integration with TFS 2010”. A lot has changed between TFS 2008 and 2010 when it comes to the build process and now it’s more powerful than ever. I will try to cover all the bases, from how to setup your builds, understanding controllers […]
If you ever get this error in your Build machine while building a Silverlight application through TFS: “The imported project “C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\Silverlight\v4.0\Microsoft.Silverlight.CSharp.targets” was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.” You need to install Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010 on your […]
There is a problem in Team Build 2010 when executing Unit Test cases from a Visual Studio 2008 solution. The test cases run, but when MSTest tries to publish the results to TFS, then you get this error: TF270015: ‘MSTest.exe’ returned an unexpected exit code. Expected ‘0’; actual ‘1’. Not very informational, and pretty cryptic. […]
