How To Deploy Data Dude Project Changes using Team Foundation Build
When you want to build and deploy database projects with team build you need to edit the database project file and the Team Build file. That's because database projects store any non-default values for the TargetDatabase, TargetConnectionString, and DefaultDataPath properties in a <ProjectName>.dbproj.user file.  *.user files are not checked into version control in order to let every user use different values.   Step 1 - Modify build project file (team build .proj file) Open the...

Team Build 2008 Downloads One Level Only
TfsBuild.proj files can be located anywhere in source control in Team Build 2008. That is the reason why MS changed the default recursion type used to download files from the location of TfsBuild.proj to OneLevel only.  The meaning is that only the contents of the exact directory of TfsBuild.proj are downloaded. Aaron Hallberg posted a solution to change this behavior. We have to modify the following line in the TfsBuildService.exe.config on the build machine: < add key ="ConfigurationFolderRecursionType"...

Remove Items From ItemGroups In MSBuild
The ability to remove entries from ItemGroups is one of the new features of MSBuild 3.5. To remove an Item from an ItemGroup in MSBuild 2.0 you would have to create a new ItemGroup from the old one and skip the Item that you needed removed. In MSBuild 3.5 we can achieve it by using the Remove parameter. Example: < ItemGroup > < Files Include ="a.cs" /> < Files Include ="b.cs" /> < Files Include ="c.cs" /> < Files Include ="d.cs" ...

Running Tests On TFS Build Machine
Often I asked "What do I need to install on the TFS build machine in order to run tests?" Well, the answer is simple. In VSTS 2005 you have to install the Tester or Suite editions on the Build Machine to run tests (even Unit Tests). In VSTS 2008 installing the Developer Edition version is enough.

Default Build Quality In Team Foundation Build 2008

Note: The default value for the build quality of a new build in TFS 2008 is null, not empty string. So, how can you set the build quality? Use the SetBuildProperties task. Read about it here ;
