  • Visual Studio 2008 SP1

    Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 has finally arrived.  It is a warm welcome with the way that my Visual Studio installation "found opportunities to suddenly restart", let's say.  The SP1 installation is rather interesting, like the VS2005 service packs were.  It takes a very long time to complete, it pops up (and hides) alert windows behind the installation window, it requires the VS2008 DVD, and it requires a reboot if some applications are running such as my Yahoo messenger...  Hmmm...  So I would suggest that when installing this service pack, stay focused on its progress and start it when you don't need to get work done.

  • TFS Reporting Architecture Notes

    Here are some notes and a list of questions and answers regarding the TFS Reporting architecture. I gave a presentation at this month's Dallas Visual Studio Team System user group.  The topic was TFS Reporting but what we really covered was the TFS reporting architecture.  We’ll probably follow-up with a second session of “Effective TFS Reporting” to include demos and the meaning of some of the most used TFS reports. I strongly believe that the TFS Reporting architecture includes several areas that should be understood to effectively and efficiently deliver standard and custom reports. So here are some high points for the benefit of others looking for answers.
