When developing SharePoint add-in try to remember if you put a previous version of the DLL in the GAC or not. I have just wasted a couple of hours trying to work out why a new version of a DLL is not being read from a site collection's bin directory, when there was an old version in the GAC. Of course this would not …

I have been looking at writing some SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) web parts to show information about TFS workitems. This turned out to be a bit more complex than expected. I wrote a ASP.NET 2.0 webpart using the TFS WorkItem Tracking Web Project on Codeporject as a starting point. My first WebPart just listed workitems in a …

I've been meaning to build a Media Center PC for a while and have finally bitten the bullet and bought some components to add to a fairly old socket A Shuttle, which I happened to have lurking around. I bought a Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1300 TV card and an ATI X1550 AGP graphics card to add to the machine, along with a copy …

I have just watched the Dot Net Rocks TV Show that Colin Mackay recommended during his DDD5 session on Mock Objects (and posted about in his blog). I cannot agree more that it is great practical intro to using the Model/View/Presenter pattern, easy to follow and not getting bogged down as is so often the case with …

After not really enough sleep it seems a good time reflect on DDD5. My session I felt my session went well, and the initial feedback was good. It is always good to be asked question all day about your session, proves it got people thinking; I certainly learnt a few tricks for TFS from these conversations. A common …

I have just got back home from today's DDD5 conference. Time for some more considered posting later, it has been a long day, but I thought I would get my slide stack up as quick as I could. You can find the Power Point stack (with the speaker notes included) at …

I have been looking at eScrum and first impressions are good. This is not the first Scrum process template for TFS, there is also the one from Conchango. My feeling over the Conchango one was that it seemed very like the standard MSF Agile template, more a terminology rename. Hence it felt a bit 'clunky' to use and not …

If you want to install TFS add-ins, such as Attrice Team Foundation Sidekicks and Teamplain, on the TFS Orcas release you have to install the TFS V8 Client (the one which is shipped with Team Foundation Server 2005). If you don't have this version both products fails to start/install as they claim they cannot find the …

Well it is out (the name at least) thanks to Daniel Moth a DPE here in the UK. I haven't heard the information else where but Daniel is very reliable. it must be said that everybody had already guessed , but it is nice to know. b. Technorati tags: Orcas, Visual Studio

It seems that DDD5 was full within a few hours of registration being opened.
