Visual Studio 11 Search EverywhereFebruary 29, 2012 /
No CommentOne feature new to Visual Studio 11 that you will wonder how you managed without (perhaps instead you wondered why it was missing from Visual Studio for so long) is the concept of “Search Everywhere.” In Visual Studio 11 search is now supported for the following: (* indicates where similar search functionality exists within the Productivity Power Tools – targeting Visual Studio 2010)
Visual Studio 11 IDE Productivity ImprovementsFebruary 29, 2012 /
No CommentIn Visual Studio 11, there is a set of IDE productivity improvements that developers across all platforms and languages already be familiar with because earlier versions of them were available in an update for Visual Studio 2010 under the name Productivity Power Tools. In post we review several of these enhancements. In Visual Studio 11 Solution Explorer has been revamped significantly. No longer is it just a location to navigate files, it now supports navigation over the object model of constructs within the solution, full-text identifier search, and more. For example, you can now expand a CSS [...] Read more
Transitioning between Sprints/Iterations with TFSFebruary 6, 2012 /
2 CommentsWhen transitioning from one Sprint (or iteration) to another it is necessary to modify all “current sprint” queries and any additional custom queries that are sprint/iteration specific. This is not a one time activity per team project but rather something you have to do after every sprint. One way to eliminate this step is by creating a “release” called “Current” and moving the specific current sprint (Sprint 1, Sprint 2, or 2012-02-06 for example) under this release. The current sprint is simply moved from its defined release into the Current release when the sprint starts. When the sprint ends, the sprint [...] Read more

Remembering TFS Credentials (from a non-Domain Windows Client)September 5, 2011 /
No CommentAs a consultant, I am repeatedly connecting to customer Team Foundation Server (TFS) servers that are not on the same domain as my client workstation. As a result, I am repeatedly prompted for credentials each time I launch Visual Studio or connect to TFS web.
Notice, there is no “Remember Credentials” check box so seemingly no way to avoid getting prompted every time you connect to TFS. However, this is not the case. Richard Banks details a solution the involved opening [...] Read more
Subscribing to TFS Alerts with TFS Power Tools’ Alerts ExplorerSeptember 5, 2011 /
2 CommentsOut of the box, Team Explorer includes the ability to subscribe to Project Alerts (available from the Team->Project Alerts menu in Visual Studio and from the Team Web->Settings Page):
As the Alerts dialog image shows, Project Alerts only lets you subscribe to 4 alerts: This is a relatively unsatisfactory list, however. What if you want to subscribe to all work [...] Read more

Furthermore, when I attempt to open an Async project (such as a sample), Visual Studio reports this project type is not supported. I tried the following but none of them was successful: Installing SP1 Installing Async CTP (Visual Studio SP1 stays installed and won’t uninstall at this point) Installing SP1 Installing [...] Read more
