November 27, 2017 by abel 1 Comment

The League was recently contacted by @samsmithnz who wanted some more real world examples on setting up a CI/CD pipeline into IaaS, IIS and SQL.  Damian (@damovisa) asked me if I would be interested in recording a video about this when he swings through Redmond next week. Sure! Piece of cake! I have plenty of … [Read more…]

May 14, 2016 by abel 7 Comments

I am constantly asked to talk about DevOps and what DevOps means for Microsoft.  Although there are many definitions of DevOps floating out in our industry, at Microsoft, DevOps is the merging of people, process and products such that we can continually deliver value to our end users.  And clearly, VSTS/TFS and Azure are the … [Read more…]

Deploying a database via dacpac from a VSO build by creating a custom build/release task

October 11, 2015 by abel 9 Comments

While using the new scriptable build system in VSO, there have been countless times I wanted to create my own custom build/release task.  That day has finally arrived.  The ability to upload custom build and release tasks to VSO has now been made public by Microsoft.  It is still in the “pre-release” stage so you … [Read more…]

July 1, 2014 by abel Leave a Comment

I was recently at a client where they had an azure cloud service project in a Git repository in Visual Studio Online (VSO).

TFS WorkItemChangedEvent… WHERE IS IT???

August 24, 2010 by abel Leave a Comment

In TFS, I sometimes need to write a WorkItemChanged event handler. No biggy, plenty of examples on how to do that. But what’s hard to find is what dll is the class Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Server.WorkItemChangedEvent in? In TFS 2008 it was in Microsoft.teamfoundation.WorkitemTracing.Server.WorkItemChangedEvent. In TFS 2010 it is in Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkitemTracking.server.DataAccessLayer.Dll.

Since I’m not at a client site today, I figured it was a good time to actually put down my thoughts on branching and merging strategies. First off, before I … [Read more…]
