VSTS 2008, Web Tests and using Fiddler
Tuesday, June 03, 2008 5:04 PM

I have been doing some performance and load testing of a web application I have been working on lately. Most of my previous experience was with the 2005 flavour of VSTS and I was keen to play with the 2008 version to see what improvements have been made. This web application is quite heavy in terms of Javascript and AJAX feature usage. I am happy to report that... Read More...

Visual Studio 2008 Team Test Issues
Wednesday, May 21, 2008 12:15 PM

I have had ongoing problems getting various tests to work using my installation of VS2008 Team Suite.

WiX - Painful at best
Tuesday, April 29, 2008 4:35 PM

In a previous post on some problems I had with VS2005 and unit testing where running unit tests always gave me this: I reported that uninstalling and re-installing the test components of Visual Studio fixed it up. Well I am getting the exact same behaviour with VS2008 now. So, I thought I would uninstall the unit test component of VS2008, then re-install it,... Read More...

I was trying to create an endpoint using WCF that was to look almost identical to an existing endpoint hat was created using some java tools (we were creating a new .Net app and had to mimic some older endpoints).The endpoint seemed ok at first glance according to the WSDL so I generated a client from it using the SVCUTIL.EXE tool and was going to use the interface...

Under IE, this particular page was loaded, then the 'Default.aspx' page in the same directory was loaded. In Firefox, the same page was loaded twice. This was verified by simply placing breakpoints in the Page_Load events... Read More...
