RE: TFS Feedaback? Anyone moved away from it?

2010-11-03 Thread Alastair Waddell
Hi Les,

I have used a few (Source safe / TFS / Borland Starteam / Subversion) in
my dealings as a contractor, and have to say I am very happy with TFS.

I guess it all depends on what you are after - Just source control or
the full ALM?

At the office we use TFS 2008 to get bug tracking, reports etc, but for
my personal stuff I am using TFS2010 basic on a Windows home server just
for source control.

Install was a breeze and it just works! I can access everything remotely
and It feels like a first class citizen in VS.

I wouldn't consider going back myself.

That said though, we do have issues with TFS at the office with a team
of devs - but almost always it's the developer's actions that cause the
problems.

Things like changing files outside VS (so TFS doesn't know its changed),
or overwriting the server version instead of merging, leaving files
exclusively locked, and it has taken a bit of time to educate on good
Project structure for source control and the branching and merging
strategies, but these are going to be issues with any system.

It does help to have the power tools and I also use Team foundation
sidekicks to manage the office install.

So is it worth the time? - Yes


Alastair

Hi All,

I was just looking to get a little feedback on CVS tools/etc?

I am to start another project with a small team, and was wondering is
TFS is worth using (I haven't even seen it run yet... wondering if it is

worth the time...)

Also, has anyone after using TFS decided to go back to subversion/etc?
If so, why?

Thanks :)

Math.Round

2010-06-16 Thread Alastair Waddell
Hi All,

Does anybody know if it is possible to change the default behaviour of
the math.round function.

Out of the box is does this;

Dim number = 98.5
Dim RoundedNumber = Math.Round(number)

RoundedNumber = 98

What I want is to change the behaviour to

Dim number = 98.5
Dim RoundedNumber = Math.Round(number, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)

RoundedNumber = 99

I would like my developers to not have to think about adding the Mode.


Now to save some of the arguments I KNOW we are going to have;

Yes - We could have code reviews to highlight when it is incorrect
Yes - FX Cop or similar
Yes - There are probably different / better algorithms
Yes - There are business reasons for this


So

My question is can we change the default behaviour from
Math.Round(number, MidpointRounding.ToEven)
To
Math.Round(number, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)



Alastair
