Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010 and external access FQDN

christian — Sat, 01 May 2010 09:44:17 +0000

Yesterday I’ve installed Microsoft (TFS) Team Foundation Server 2010 and today I’m struggling with the configuration. My team wants to access the TFS / Source Control Safe using internal but also external host names. So, how to accomplish the right configuration? Good question. To save your time i thought I’ll blog about my journey ..

i realized that a setup of a proper configuration requires a lot of time .. time i don’t have at the moment. So i decided to post what i have and update the post when i find the time ….

If you get a "Access denied" or "No network provider accepted the given network path" then read here

Microsoft KB 926642 Entry Disable the Loop Back Check on your TFS Server

Probably the best paper / explanation

two other guys blogging about this issue …

WCF Service: Adding a reference results in: System.BadImageFormatException

christian — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 12:57:24 +0000

I have a Solution with a WCF Service Project, a few Classes in projects and a Winform Project. When trying to add a Service Reference from within the Winform Project i always got the Microsoft WCF Service Host – ‘System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly ‘file’..

An explanation or better, a direction I’ve found at Atalasoft Knowledgebase Q10165.

I just changed the Platform target from x86 to Any CPU, recompiled both projects in the solution and since then, i can add a service reference. Who knows why.. you? drop me a mail/comment!

Error Message i got:

System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly ‘file:///D:\Development\WCFTestService.SQL.2010\Media.Manager.SQL.Services.WCF\bin\Debug\Media.Manager.SQL.Services.WCF.exe’ or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

VS.NET: Add Service Reference, Discover Service does not work

Trying to add a Service Reference in Visual Studio using the Discover Services in Solution and the Wizard can’t find the Service in the Solution?

In order to use the "Discover services in solution" functionality, the service projects must be based on one of the WCF project templates.
If you want to alter your existing project(s) so that they will be identified as projects containing WCF service(s), do the following:

Right-click on the project in the Solution Explorer, and select Unload project
Right-click the project again (this time the node will end in (unavailable) ) and choose Edit xxxxx.csproj
In the first section, add the following line:
{3D9AD99F-2412-4246-B90B-4EAA41C64699};{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}
Save and close the file
Reload the project by right-clicking it again and choose Reload.

You should then be able to use the "Discover services in solution" functionality.
