- I have recently had to do some work on a MVC 1 application and thought it sensible to bring it up to MVC 3, you don’t want to be left behind if you can avoid it. This was a simple data capture application written in MVC1 in Visual Studio 2008 and never needed to be touched since. A user fills in a form, the controller …
Read More After I installed Windows 8 RTM I still had two devices missing drivers. I have made a little progress
- Base System Device - was the Ricoh PCIe SDXC/MMC Host controller I used this Win 8 beta driver
- Unknown driver – seems to be the Lenovo Power Management devices. However the Win 8 Beta driver fails to install. I had …
Read Moreif you missed yesterdays DDD10, as I did, then don’t worry. You can come to DDD North in Bradford at the University Management Centre on the 13th of October. There is another great set of speakers, I was lucky enough to get my session on Unit Testing and Fakes in VS2012 accepted. Hope to see you there
Also my company …
Read More- I posted a while ago that you saw errors when trying to edit TFS 2012RC build process templates in VS 2012RC if the Visual Studio class library project you were using to manage the process template editing was targeting .NET 4.5, it needed to be 4.0. Well with Visual Studio 2012 RTM this is no longer the case, in fact …
Read More The registration has opened for DDDNorth 2 (In Bradford) where I will be speaking on Unit testing in VS2012
Also my Raspberry PI has just arrived – after only 6 months of waiting, but I don’t think I can work it into my DDDNorth session
Read More- I posted previously on getting Typemock 7.x running in a TFS 2012 RC build process . Well it seems the activities I previously published did not work on the TFS 2012 RTM build i.e if you do nothing other than upgrade your TFS server from RC to RTM a previously working build fails, no attempt was made to run any tests …
Read More We have just completed the upgraded of our TFS2012 server from RC to RTM. All went smoothly, just a few comments worth mentioning
- The install of TFS2012 (after the removal of the RC) required three reboots, 2 for C++ components and one for .NET 4.5. So if seeing reboots don’t worry too much.
- When running the upgrade …
Read More- I have been away over the weekend seeing family, and as anyone who is in IT (or is a medical doctor I suspect) would expect I had the standard experience – everyone wanted me to show me something they were worried about that turned to be virus related. This trip I did one operating system upgrade, one network printer …
Read More First I thought I could do an in-place upgrade of my Windows 8RC PC, turns out you can’t (not sure if it would have been wise anyway) so it was format disk time.
I had hoped for a seamless install of Windows 8, but it hung after detecting devices. It seems it was the ‘old problem’ down to Lenovo/Nvidia Optimus graphics …
Read MoreIf like me you listen to many podcasts, then swapping the PC your Phone7 syncs to collect the podcasta is a real pain. The problem being as far as I can see Zune has no podcast subscription export/import, so you are left with a lot of copy typing to re-enter them.
Whilst rebuilding my PC with Windows 8 today I have at …
