  • More thoughts on Typemock Isolator, Microsoft Fakes and Sharepoint

    I posted yesterday on using Typemock and Microsoft Fakes with SharePoint . After a bit more thought I realised the key thing in using Typemock I found easier was the construction of my SPListItem dataset. Typemock allowed me to fake SPListItems and put them in a generic List<SPListItem> then just...

  • Now that VS11 has a fake library do I still need Typemock Isolator to fake out SharePoint?

    I have done posts in the past about how you can use Typemock Isolator to fake out SharePoint to speed design and testing . The  reason you need special tooling, beyond standard mocking frameworks like Rhino or MOQ, is that SharePoint has many sealed private classes with no public constructors. So...

  • Why can’t I see my custom work item types in Team Explorer?

    If you are editing a TFS process template you have the choice editing XML files or using the Process Template Editor within the TFS 2010 PowerTools. Unfortunately neither is fool proof. You can make errors than means the revised template does not fully work. The worst of these errors will be picked up...

  • PDC 2010 thoughts - the next morning

    I sat in the office yesterday with a beer in my hand watching the PDC2010 keynote . I have to say I preferred this to the option of a flight, jet lag and a less than comfortable seat in a usually overly cooled conference hall. With the Silverlight streaming the experience was excellent, especially as...

  • The setup story for TFS 2010

    I have been looking at the various install and upgrade stories for the TFS 2010 Beta. I have to say they are very nice compared to the older TFS versions.

  • Blend and Source control

    It is all well and good Microsoft saying that a developers and designer can share the same project WPF/Silverlight files in Visual Studio and Expression Blend , but whilst Blend does not have the ability to use a source control repository (TFS, SVN or anything else for that matter) and actually strips...

  • Bug tracking with TFS

    I have posted in the past about my efforts to write a user facing bug tracking interface for TFS to integrate with our SharePoint based customer portal. I have had some mixed success , but the end point is that I am just not happy with what I have written. Historically we have used our own home grown...
