Dear Brian,

I recently purchased a nabaztag/tag in order to use it as a build status notifier like you did. I have a problem sending the bunny a message. I receive a token or serial number not valid message. I also can't log in to their website. It says to delete my cookies and try again. I've done that several time with no improvement. I'm wondering if you are having the same problem or if you have any answers. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Scott RadDev

Hi Scott,

The Nabaztag site is working for me now - I have noticed some problems with the Nabaztag and their site in terms of browser caching, and also their site can be a bit flakey. Give it a try now and see if it is working. Works on my machine :-)

Hi Martin,

First of all Congratulations on your MVP of the Year award! I read your deep copy on droplocation article and I tried this with TFS 2008. But Whenever I am giving larger than 259 character path in drop location through Edit Build definition,TFS is prompting error and not accepting.So I am not able to test the robocopy command.Any sollution?

Thanks and regards,

Hi Martin,
I liked the idea of a build indicator, but the bunny just didn't make me feel the love...

After a little deep thought I decided to go with a Build Guitar, all of our server are named after guitar manufacturers. The blue led indicates that a build is in progress, the green one that the build was successful and the red that the build failed.

Dear Brian

I Have created two team project in Team Foundation Server,that one team project is responsible for make Some Library That is used in another Application,so I want To share header(c++) between two team ,but each team project has it own Folder .do you have Solution for my Problem?
thanks

Have a question about team builds and more specifically branch builds.

Lets say for the sake of argument that I have a main branch build already in place. Now, I start work on my dev branch which I originally branched from main. At some point I complete my development and I create a TFS branch build for this development branch which I sure can be done.

What concerns would I have if after completing the build and it runs successfully would I have when it comes time to merge back to the main branch.

In effect will I be merging the TFSbuild.config of Dev1 branch with that of my main branch? Or will both branches maintain a separate TFSbuild proj file?

We have a particular file, say X.zip that is only modified by 1 or 2 people. Hence we don't want the build to trigger on every check-in, as the other files are mostly untouched.

I need to check for a condition prior to building, whether the checked-in item is "X.zip" or not.. if yes, then trigger a build, else don't. We use only CI builds.

Any idea on how to trigger the build only when this particular file is checked-in? How do I get the filename/path being checked in? Any other approaches would be greatly appreciated as i am a newbie in TFS...

Tara.
