3 Chapter 3 : Assign Mouse Buttons in Visual Studio - Stack Overflow Microsoft Visual Studio is an integrated development environment that can be used to develop console and graphical user interface applications as well as Windows Forms applications, websites, web applications, and web services. I spent months doing Pluralsight courses but the skill based challenge approach you offer is much better IMHO. Net via Channel 9 for the past few months and am exceedingly impressed. I actually cancelled my Pluralsight subscription due to the fact that their videos were NO where near as concise and user-based as yours. You are without a doubt one of the most impressive people in the. Your training is what other training companies should aspire to be. Your price is small, especially when one looks at the value. I wanted to say thank you for the product and the updates. NET web forms application developer and now the market has been shifting quite some time to C. This is a radical change for me and I am still fighting with it, but your tutorials have helped me so much. The work that you do is amazing and I greatly and sincerely appreciate it. The lifetime membership I purchased, years back has paid off in such a big way. I hope you continue to develop more videos. NET and web forms. I merely let them know the steps I have been taking to learn it, I dropped your name and learnvisualstudio. So I am utilizing your courses nightly and diving deep and making myself struggle with it. I simply wanted to say thank you! Artie Catalano Just to say thanks for such easy to understand lessons even for a 49 year old. I spent more money on just one book which just confused me more. I just wanted to tell you how invaluable your tutorials have been to me in conjunction with my college programming courses â Best money EVER spent. Thanks so much for being such a big part of my current and future success!!! Page 3

4 Chapter 4 : racedaydvl.com - Beginners guide to learn how to use Subversion with Visual Studio - Stack Ov Visual Studio is the latest version of Microsoft's flagship IDE. Along with it comes racedaydvl.com Framework, new versions of Visual Basic and C#, a data query model known as LINQ, improvements to racedaydvl.com Framework technologies that were released alongside Windows Vista, and out-of-the-box access to racedaydvl.com AJAX and Visual Studio Tools for Office. Team Build â Continuous Integration One of the new and most compelling features of Team Foundation Build is the out-of-the-box support for continuous integration and scheduling. A few in-house approaches have been built around the TFS Soap Event mechanism, most likely set to listen for check-in events and evaluating whether or not a build should be performed. The disadvantages to this approach are the speed and accuracy at which build decisions may be made. Setting up the workspace Setting up a workspace is pretty important to the continuous integration build, since this is how the server determines when to automatically start builds on your behalf. Well, in V1 the build directory was specified per build type, meaning that the build type was built on the same directory no matter what machine the build was performed on. In V2 we have separated out the idea of a build machine into a first-class citizen called a Build Agent; this is where the build directory is stored. Those of you familiar with version control workspaces should feel right at home! Already have a workspace ready to go? Defining a Trigger The trigger defines how the server should automatically start builds for a given build definition. The first option should be self-explanatory, and keeps the build system behaving just like V1 no automatic builds. The other options are as follows. This option is a good way to control the number of builds if continuous integration is desired but you want a maximum number of builds per day e. Standard scheduled builds will only occur if checkins were made since the previous build. Scheduled builds can optionally be scheduled even if nothing changes. This is useful when builds are dependent on more than what is in version control. Drop Management One of the side effects of a continuous integration system is that a greater number of builds will be created. In order to manage the builds and drops created through CI we have introduced a feature in Team Build called drop management. Drop management is enabled through a concept we call Retention Policy in Team Build, which allows you to define how many builds to retain for a particular build outcome. For instance, you may only want to keep the last 5 successful builds and only one of any other kind. Through retention policy you can define this by setting the appropriate values in the dialog shown above and the server will manage the automatic deletion of builds for you. We have an option available on individual builds if you would like to retain a build indefinitely it just so turns out that this is what the menu option is called. Once this option has been toggled on you will see a padlock icon next to the build. If you decide that the build is no longer useful, simply toggle the option off for the build and let drop management take care of the build automatically. Automated UI Tests Automated UI tests cannot be run in the build agent running as a windows service since it is not interactive, meaning that it cannot interact with the desktop. So, we have provided the ability to run an interactive instance of the service out-of-the-box! The first thing you will need to do is create a new build agent on the server. The display name can be anything descriptive you want. The computer name should be the computer name of the machine on which the build service resides, and the port should be changed to since it is the default interactive port. After you change the port that is used by Team Foundation Build, you must also update the build service on the build computer to use the new port. For more information, see http: Once you see that prompt your interactive agent is ready to go. Be sure that any time you need to run automated UI tests that you target the correct agent! Build Directory Customization In TFS, you were able to specify the root build directory which should be used in the build type definition file TfsBuild. During the build, the root build directory would automatically get expanded to: Since the names could get quite long, there were quite a few issues with path name length errors which were unavoidable. In TFS we have made it easier to customize the build directory on the agent through the use of 2 well-known environment variables. There is another method by which this path may be reduced even more if the source control enlistment requires it. Be sure to restart the team build service the Windows service or the interactive service, as needed after making changes to this file in order for the changes to take effect! Port Page 4

5 Configuration For Orcas we have changed the communication method for the build agent the build agent is the service installed and running on the build computer. In order to do this, we have switched to using Windows Communication Foundation self-hosting functionality to expose the service end-point without requiring Internet Information Services IIS on the build computer. There is a new series of steps which must be followed in order to change the port for an existing TFS build agent. This will keep the server from starting new builds on the machine, but will let existing builds finish. This way you do not accidentally stop an in-progress build from finishing. Change the value of that key to the desired port and remember the value for the next step. In the same directory there will be an executable named wcfhttpconfig. The command you should issue is: You must run this command as a local administrator. Changing the port of the Interactive Service is exactly the same as the instructions above with one exception: Chapter 5 : Introduction to Microsoft Visual Studio The Visual Studio development system is a comprehensive suite of tools designed to help software developers create innovative, next-gen applications.
