New Post: VS2010 TFS2010 support

Romout — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 07:31:31 GMT

Thank you very much!

I’ll keep you updated though I’ve started to implement a very similar tool which I will, of course, share with you as well. If I’m happy enough with the implementation (which I’m currently not – way too much gui-code which actually does things), I might even release it to the community.

Going to download your latest version now!

Thanks again,

Ramin

Hi,

As we are heavily relying on the Workitem Creator and its merge features and are additionally migrating to TFS 2010, I'd like to modify the tool to be compatible to VS2010 but I wasn't able to find the latest sources here on Codeplex - Did I miss something?

Thanks in advance,

Ramin

Ok I've created a folder "Version 2.5.0.0" in the root of the project's source control, I know this is not a very clean way to do it, but I renamed a lot of files and I have to time to make the Source Control operation in the main branch.

You should be fine, please keep me updated of your work, as the license states you can't modify the sources without my authorization... I just want enhancements to be part of the community.

Loïc

If I remember correctly I think you're right. I'll put them online (assuming I still have them on my laptop) in less than a day.

I would have like to get feedback from your utilization of this feature, to be quite honest I didn't think much people were using it (mainly due to a lack of promotion and being not very easy of use at first).

It's always encouraging to heard people are using your stuffs! :)

Hi,

Unfortunately it's not supported with TFS2010. With the new typed linked system I'd have to write the whole thing from scratch and I don't have the time for that currently.

Sorry,

Loïc

I don't have a test environment right now, but does this works with TFS2010?

thanks in advance

Hi Loïc,

any update on this topic ? Have you been able to create a VS package as you were saying in your last post ?

Could you tell us if those requirements are implemented in your last version of WICreator (2.5), I'm actually working with 2.0 release.

Thank you in advance for your feedback,

Kind Regards.

Hello, Well, no, there's no improvement on this matter, the version 2.5 basically is made of bugs fixes and new features to computes Work Item field value based on the parsing of the hierarchy. The next version I would work should be TFS/VS 2010 based, but it's not scheduled yet. Regards, Loïc

New Post: Issues with WICreator - Information Required

loicbaumann — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:15:19 GMT

Hi,

You could make it work on another port than 8080, so 8083 should be fine.

In the TFSSetting you have to give the url of the TFS server, so it's like <TFSSettings url="mytfs:8080"/> and not the one of the WICreator WebApp.

By default WICreator creates a WepApp during the Installation in the Application Pool you choose, if you chose the one of Team Foundation Server it created the files in "Programm Files\..". Maybe you have another instance now because you manually created one for the port 8083 and it would typically be in Inetpub.

If you use the 8083 port, look in IIS where the files are stored (but I belive it's in Inetpub) and use the NetworkModels.xml accordingly.

I had reports where it's not easy to administrate WICreator when you don't have acces to the server, in fact I didn't design it to be administrated outside the server. You can succeed if you have the directory where the NetworkModels.xml is shared, but it's not the best way.

One last thing: if the NetworkModels.xml is on a different port than 8080, I belive you would have to registrate the TFS Alert manually to get the Work Item workflow feature working.

Hi,

I have an issue after modifying "NetworkModels.xml" file; I get a 404 error, I have some questions to try and understand what the problem is.

- I had some problems making WICreator running on port 8080 on my server, alternativelly I made it work on port 8083, is there any trouble with it ?

- If the above point is not a problem, wich URL has to be entered here in "NetworkModels.xml" : <TFSSettings url=" ? " /> is it the URL to access WICreator(through 8083) or the server through 8080 ?

- There are two "NetworkModels.xml" files, one in "Programm Files\..." the other one is in "C:\Inetpub\WINetwork" wich is the one that have to be upgraded ?

It is difficult for me to make those tests because I don't have access to the server, if someone could help me on these points...

Thanks in advance to everyone;

Regards.

Project Description
Standalone application that enable you to create Work Items and organize them in a hierarchical way.
This software also includes:
- WINetwork, an Alert that is aware of Work Item changes, and update related ones using custom schemas.
- Merge Branches driven by Work Items.

The Work Item Creator is a stand alone client/server application implementing many features that all rely on the core one: Work Item Hierarchy.

About the deployment of whole solution

Other main features are:
- WINetwork, create a custom Workflow that reacts on Work Item changes to respond in changing other Work Items.
- Branch Merge driven by Work Item, you no longer have to merge your branches changeset by changeset, it's now driven by Work Items, organized in a hierarchical way.
- Branch comparison of Work Item implementation, a quick query will display what Work Item is implemented in a given branch and not in another one. Hierarchy is also handled, showing you if a Work Item tree is not, totally or partially implemented.
- Team Project administration tool, let you administer all the features of the WICreator easily, Team Project by Team Project.

Check my blog for more information Loïc Baumann's Blog

RELEASE 2.0AVAILABLE, SOURCE CODE UPDATED TOO!

Installation and setup is now pain free (you can install and setup for a given Team Project in few minutes).
