  One of the coolest features I think we’ve added in Visual Studio 2010 is the ability to add your own tabs into the webtest playback view.  Extending the user interface in this way allows you to do data analysis and have it pop up right in front of you in whatever format you want.  No more exporting to excel or whatever your favorite analysis tool is, just compile everything you one in one place and voila! That being said, I have been told that it can be difficult to grok at first glance.  So, I wanted to post a sort of ‘how to’ in order to get one of these working.  A colleague of mine suggested that I could use this forum to demonstrate how to keep track of something that affects the performance of many users’ websites.  Namely, Viewstate.   So, below is a step by step instruction on how to create a webtest playback tab which keeps track of the viewstate size for each request.   Step 1:  Create the add-in project Visual Studio Add-ins have their own special type of project, you can find it under “Other project types / Extensibility”.   I’ve named mine “ViewstateAddin”.   Step 2:  Walk through the create add-in wizard When the wizard launches, you’ll be add a “welcome” screen.  Click next to move to page 1.

Late last year we started the Visual Studio 2010 Architecture Guidance project … probably the worst time as December is a very inactive month with everyone enjoying a well deserved break and January  being a very active month to re-start initiatives, thus having little time and bandwidth for these kind of projects. Nevertheless the team has ensured that the guidance project is picking up momentum and recently released a DRAFT of the core scenarios to the Rangers for comment and are hard at work on a BETA release for the core scenarios and a DRAFT release for the extensibility and Hands-on-lab (HOL) scenarios.

Ab und zu blogge ich auch die Lösung zu einem kniffligen Problem; – so auch heute. Gestern wollte ich mit den neuen WCF Services ListData.svc und BCDAdminService.svc arbeiten. Die Konfiguration meines Testsystem war Windows Server 2008, Sharepoint 2010, VisualStudio 2010 RC.

Thinking about running Windchill® 9.1 on SQL Server? Then you’ll want to know about versions and compatibility.

[Part 13 of the FScheme series ] Now to add input to our Functional I/O system; following up on the previous post . We already had bouncing balls so how ‘bout we add a mouse-controlled paddle and make a primitive “Pong”? Mouse Input To keep it simple, we’re just going to add mouse position as input; including the current mouse x/y in the world state passed in on each iteration.
