Well that where the most frustrating 10 minutes of my life! I heared that there was a new version of ReSharper, downloaded it, installed it, started it and unstalled it 5 minutes later! In a small project it looked nice but editing a large web project it turned out to be very, very slow! Maybe i need to tweak the settings or reset something but as i need to get some work done on this project i'm not going to find this out. Is there someone who experienced the same and found a solution for it please post it here!
"The Most Intelligent Add-In To Visual Studio" but so damn slowwwwwwwwwwww!

Installed Visual Studio Orca Beta1 Express edition next to my Visual Studio 2005 this week and the first error i encountered was: "
The base class includes the field '[controlname]', but its type (System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl) is not compatible with the type of control (System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlTableBodySection)." ..... bummer! Now i need to run it in a VPC .....
Luckely the bug was already reported: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=282661
Together with 2 other guys from Communited i've visited the DevDays in Amsterdam. Every year it's a great party with a whole bunch of Microsofters together in one big building!
This year i attented 4 sessions and saw the keynote presented by our .NET guru Scott. The keynote was about Silverlight, Silverlight and Silverlight. Scott did some demowork showing of the capabilities of this new and exciting product from Microsoft.
The other sessions i attended where:
Session 1: Reflection and custom attributes by Francesco Balena
- This session was all about using reflection and in where it can be used! Reflection isn't widly used in software but Francesco showed in what situations it can be very handy.
Session 2: Applied LINQ by Alex Thissen
- Alex showed us how to use LINQ in common day scenario's. I already used some (beta) LINQ but his session refreshed my knowledge a little more and showed me some nice examples on how to apply LINQ.
Session 3: Practical Team Foundation Server by Marcel de Vries
- At Communited whe are using TFS for about a year now i and whas curious if we missed something! Well this session was a nice confirmation that we are in the right direction on using TFS in our company. We implemented a custom work-item that suits our company needs on information we need to complete work, lately we created some custom Analysis Server reports with Reporting Service to help our planning get a better overview on outstanding work. The most recent thing we did was integrating Microsoft Project in our TFS project. The hours we write on workitems are now easy accesible in MSProject and can be planned by our planner. Next thing is to integrate Sharepoint 2007 and CRM.
Session 4: REMIX: SEO by Pete LePage
- As the last DevDays session round wasn't very interesting for myself i attended a ReMIX session by Pete LePage on Search Engine Optimisation. At Communited we are always searching for beter ways to get our site's indexed beter and ranked higher. Lately we build some tools to examen our sites to see if the standards are followed and the SEO rules apply to them. This session by Pete was also a confirmation that we are doing the right things.
And last but not least i saw my friends again, Dennis, Patrick and don't forget our own dutch guru Wim Pool! Dennis joined Class-A a while ago and Patrick went to Concepts2Go. Now if only Patrick can convince his new employer that TFS isn't that expensive and is a great tool to manage work !:-)
Hi There,
This week i made some new reports based on our TFS cube and found a strange thing happen. When using the area-field in my querys, some records returned double in my query-result. After speaking to Mike yesterday at the DevDays in Amsterdam he gave me the hint to check the actual MDX query fired from the designer in reporting service. After doing that i found myself with the following (stripped-down)query:
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Current Work Item Count] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY {
([Team Project].[Team Project].[Team Project].
ALLMEMBERS * [Work Item].[System_State].[System_State].ALLMEMBERS
*
DESCENDANTS([Area].[Parent_ID].[Area].ALLMEMBERS) * [Work Item].[System_Id].[System_Id].ALLMEMBERS ) } ON ROWS FROM (
SELECT ( { [Work Item].[System_Id].&[1350] } ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Current Work Item])
1350 is the workitem i wanted to see.
The records returned look like the following
[project1] [active] [project1] [1350] [1] -> wrong result, the second project1 should be a area, this query should only return the second line!
[project1] [active] [area1] [1350] [1] -> correct result
Can anyone explain this to me?
