Team Foundation Server SharePoint Integration
Why is there not more integration found in Team Foundation Server “out-of-the-box” with SharePoint 2007. It seams obvious to me that you would want to show your Work Items in SharePoint and integrate SharePoint Workflow into Team Foundation Server. It only make sense to be able to initially create a SharePoint Work item that is a […]
TFS Event Handler in .NET 3.5 Part 2 – Handling Team Foundation Server Events
I have decided to have a little go at creating a Team Foundation Server Event Handler in .NET 3.5 that is resilient and scaleable. I will be using as many of the features of Team Suit as I can, but bear with me as there are a few things that are new to me. TFS Event […]
Microsoft does indeed listen
When I posted my question “Would anyone be interested in Hosted TFS?” on linked in I was hopping for a response from potential users. I did not think that Jim Lamb would be reading it and blog about Microsoft’s internal ambition to have a hosted model for TFS. I have been quite excited about this […]
TFS Handover
I am just writing some handover documentation for our TFS deployment in the office. Thank goodness that I wrote installation and disaster recovery documents when I originally deployed the system, other wise this would have been a very long process. All I really need to do is reference those documents in a wrapper document that details […]

You do not actually have to carry out any of the work on the application, just: Manage […]

Loosing the battle, but the war goes on
Well in my current war to get my company to use TFS, I am loosing the battle for Visual Studio Team System adoption. I have fought many battles, against Jira, Confluence and Subversion, but they are currently wining. I cant seam to get the Architecture & Strategy guys to get behind the project. They are […]
Sharepoint 3.0 TFS Sub-Site creation investigation result
Well my sub site investigation did not go too well! After consulting with blogs, forums and Microsoft the end result is that it will not work in an automated way. You can’t create a sub site to and existing site with Sharepoint without customizing the Sharepoint site creation process, which I am not going to […]
TFS Event Handler: Coverage & Comments
I am getting some positive feedback on the project from Richard Berg, and he had blogged about it under the title of New CodePlex project: TFS Event Handler. And John Lambert has commented on some issues that he has envisioned with referenced assemblies and security of allowing people to upload Assemblies. I would like to address both of […]
Team Server Event Handlers made easy…
Will, not really… I work for a rather large organization and I wanted an easy way for power users of team system to deploy event handlers for the Team Foundation Server events. Essentially they create an assembly with as many EventHandler classes as they like and they can upload their assembly through an administration system, […]
