VisualSVN - Subversion within Visual Studio
Wednesday, July 30, 2008 1:23 PM

I am a big fan of Subversion . I like TFS too, but subversion is more suited to my small scale personal needs whereas TFS is more in the corporate space, or at least, more in the " requires more juice " space. Juice that I don't really have. So, I use subversion for a majority of my personal development. I like it. I normally use TortoiseSVN for the explorer... Read More...

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. Initially, I had a problem running unit tests (see here), then sometime after that, I had other niggling issues with code coverage and had to copy assemblies from Private folders to public folders and vice versa. Recently, I tried recording some web tests so... Read More...

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

So I finally got WiX to create an installer for me after many hours of poor documentation, obscure errors and bizarre angle bracket syntax. The latest error I have really annoyed me as there was no obvious indication what the error was and how to resolve it, which is really the purpose of this post. To share this so that others may benefit, and because my memory... Read More...

Why wont you just work....
Monday, February 25, 2008 8:32 AM

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...

WCF and interoperability

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...

Monday, November 19, 2007 9:54 PM

I haven't used Liquid XML in some time and had forgotten how good value this little tool is. XML editing, instance document generation, schema validation and more, XPath query tool, all for free.
