Visual Studio Team System 2005 Profiler does not support IE8
Apparently if you try to pr ofile a ASP.NET web project using VSTS 2005 Developer Edition, and you are using IE8, the profiler can’t launch the website (pic above), then VS2005 will gives you the follow error “Performance report XXX contains no data” (pic below). At the moment, the only way is to run it in a host or VM with IE7 installed.
Microsoft Security Essentials now available for Malaysia
Last time I open the Security Essentials homepage from home in Kuala Lumpur, there is a message telling me that Security Essentials download is not available for my country. Today when I visit the site again because one of my buddy asking for free anti virus, I realize the Download Now button is working for us in Bolehland.
So go grab yourself a free copy, but with one warning; the installer will check for genuinity of your Windows, meaning it won’t install on pirated version. This is one more incentive for people to legalize their copy of Windows. Security Essentials works on Windows XP, Vista and 7 for both 32-bit and 64-bit.
MSN Toolbar is now called Bing Bar
Except the new MSN homepage every MSN entities like MSN search and MSN toolbar have taken up the Bing brand name. If my memory serves me well, I never recall anytime MSN toolbar is available to a competing browser such as Firefox. Today the page on DiscoverBing.com here gives me a surprise and showing Bing Bar for Firefox and IE. Time has change and if Bing wants to compete and win on search, it has to make sure the other 35++% of browser market share out there have access to Bing’s technologies. Last time I read about 65% of Internet users use Internet Explorer.
So I decided to test it out. I have to install Firefox on my Windows 7. Then download the installer from the Discover Bing webpage.
Just like most Microsoft’s installer, just a few clicks on Next button to set me on the way to have Bing Bar installed
Now what I do is to restart IE8, I can see the new Bing Bar is there and trying to update itself with contents
One of my favourite feature is to have Bing Bar check emails for me
Let’s see how’s the experience in Firefox now
Exactly the same wihtout the need of Firefox’s Bing Bar to download anything as per in IE just now, suspect it is actually the same toolbar with a wrapper/ container which allows it to load on both browsers. Let me try to customize the Bing Bar in Firefox.
Straight away I can see that changes reflected on IE. Nice!
TFS 2008 – Project deleted but SharePoint side failed to be deleted
I tried to use TFSDeleteProject command to remove the project from the TFS server,
tfsdeleteproject /server:myserver myprojectname
but at the end of the process there is this error message
Deleting from Build …
Done
Deleting from Work Item Tracking …
Done
Deleting from Version Control …
Done
Deleting Report Server files …
Done
Deleting SharePoint site …
Could not connect to ‘http://TFS08:17012/_vti_adm/admin.asmx’
The request failed with the error message:
–

<h2>Object moved to <a href="http://tfs08:17012/_layouts/1033/error.aspx?ErrorTe
xt=Request%20timed%20out%2E">here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>
Then I tried to repeat the command again with the /force option (tfsdeleteproject /force /server:myserver myprojectname), I still get the error
Deleting from Build …

Deleting from Work Item Tracking …

But actually what happened is everything within TFS have been safely removed except the SharePoint, so you need to go into SQL Server Management Studio and connect to WSS_Config database
Select Id From Sitemap Where Path = ‘/Sites/myprojectname’
Grab the Id and execute this SQL
exec dbo.proc_dropSiteMap @Id=%Id%
After that you still need to clean up your WSS_Content database by executing this
exec proc_DeleteSite %Id%
But do note you might have nothing to delete in the WSS_Content
