  • Run tests from your TFS Team Build without a test list (.vsmdi) with code coverage

    I got around to trying Buck Hodges’ power toy that lets you run unit tests in your Team Foundation Server (TFS) Team Build without having to use a test list (aka “.vsmdi” file).  It works well but getting code coverage to run with it was kind of a trick.  There’s a post on forums.microsoft.com that…

    How do you make the FlowLayoutPanel scroll using arrow keys, page up, page down?  I’ll start with the answers and work backwards: Subscribe to the PreviewKeyDown event and don’t forget to call control.PerformLayout(). Now the problem: If you haven’t checked out the NYTimes Reader application, you’re totally missing out.  It’s this fantastic .NET 3 / WPF…

  • Custom Installer Actions: Edit Connection Strings, IIS Directory Security Settings, etc.

    When I need to deliver a web application to a client, I create a Setup/Deployment Project and then send them the .MSI file.  This makes it super easy to make sure that all the dependencies are there and that the web directory gets set up in IIS.  It eliminates 80% of the deployment hassle.  The…
