New features of Visual Studio 2005 Team System (VSTS) will help project managers in two ways: a set of built-in reports will allow project managers to quickly see project status and a set of extensible methodologies will provide specific guidance on how to organize and track a software development project. The reporting tools are useful for any development project that uses VSTS’s source-code control and work-item tracking systems. The methodologies, however, will require organizations to either adopt a specific way of managing their projects or modify the provided methodologies to suit their specific needs.

For background information on VSTS, including its architecture, see "Visual Studio Team System Targets Multiple Roles" on page 20 of the Feb. 2005 Update.

Tools for Project Managers

Many software project managers spend a great deal of time collecting status information from individual developers and testers and trying to collate that information into a useful report. Development teams using the VSTS source-code control system and work-item tracking databases will find that much of that data collection is performed automatically, allowing project managers to perform higher-level tasks such as analyzing trends or transferring work from one developer to another to equalize work loads.

VSTS can create reports from multiple data sources, including its automated code testing, source-code control, and work-item tracking systems, giving project managers a more complete view of their project. Some of the statistics that VSTS can generate include the following:

Bug find and fix rates show the number of bugs found each day compared with the number fixed. The net number of bugs fixed each day is an important tool in helping project managers estimate when a project will reach its quality goals.

Code churn measures the number of lines of code in the project that are being added, deleted, or changed. Since any change to the source code of a project introduces the possibility of a bug, reducing code churn is important to stabilizing a project in preparation for release.

Bugs per developer allows project managers to see which developers are overloaded with bugs to fix and which have time available, helping managers balance the work load.

Number of test cases passing and failing is an important measure of the overall health of a project.

Code coverage shows what percentage of the application’s source code is being exercised by automated test suites and helps managers analyze the effectiveness of their tests. If large portions of the source code are not covered by any automated test, then a manager knows that the number of test cases passing will not provide a complete view of the quality of the application.

Reports Available in Many Formats

Project managers can view and update project information in several ways.

Excel. Excel provides few project management features, but many software project managers rely on it, including those on Microsoft’s own product teams. What Excel excels at is creating, maintaining, and sorting lists of information and generating charts. VSTS allows project managers to view lists of work items within Excel spreadsheets. An Excel add-in can automatically update spreadsheets with the latest data and can update VSTS with any changes made to the spreadsheet.

Project. Although Project is Microsoft’s product for general-purpose project management, it is rarely used for software project management. Nonetheless, Project has some capabilities that make it useful—most notably its support for visually displaying a project’s timeline as either a Gantt or a Pert chart. VSTS can automatically generate a Project file for a project schedule and includes a plug-in so that any schedule changes made within Project are reflected in VSTS.

Web site. Because the middle tier of VSTS is built on top of Windows SharePoint Services (WSS), every software project automatically has an associated SharePoint site that allows developers, testers, and project managers to view and update project data.

SQL Reporting. The data tier of VSTS uses SQL Server, so project managers will be able to use SQL Reporting Services to automatically generate and distribute reports, such as daily or weekly bug status.

Methodologies Provide Process Guidance

In addition to providing reporting tools that are broadly useful to teams, VSTS provides mechanisms for enforcing specific development methodologies. Webster defines methodology as "a body of methods, rules, and postulates employed by a discipline." A software development methodology, such as Extreme Programming, is a set of methods and rules that define how a software project is designed and created. Extreme Programming, for example, stresses the need for frequent, small releases of the project and the creation of software tests before the writing of code.

The final version of VSTS will support two Microsoft-developed methodologies—one for a highly formalized software development process, and one for a less formalized, more iterative, process. Organizations can use or customize one of the methodologies supported by VSTS, use a methodology developed by themselves or by third parties, or use no methodology at all.

In addition, Microsoft hopes to create a market for third parties to sell other popular methodologies, such as Extreme Programming.

Agile Framework Defines Roles, Workstreams

Beta 2 of Visual Studio 2005 (which will be the first beta of VSTS) will include one Microsoft methodology, Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) for Agile Software Development (previously known as MSF Agile). The Agile methodology defines a software development process that incorporates several rounds, or iterations, of product planning, coding, testing, and feedback. Although Agile can be used by any development team, it was designed with a typical IT enterprise development team in mind.

The Agile methodology defines several roles, with each member of the team taking on one or more roles:

Architect—responsible for designing the technical foundations of the application, including its usability, reliability, maintainability, performance, and security.

Business analyst—responsible for defining the business needs the application fulfills and working with customers to understand the scenarios and quality of service requirements.

Project manager—responsible for delivering the application on time and within budget.

Developer—responsible for implementing the application within the agreed schedule.

Tester—responsible for assessing and communicating the state of the application, including any problems.

Release manager—responsible for the rollout of the application, coordinating the project with other operations, and certifying any releases for shipment or deployment.

In addition to defining roles, the Agile methodology defines a set of activities performed by each role. For example, the "Fix a Bug" activity is associated with the developer role. These activities are then grouped into workstreams that span roles. The "Fix a Bug" activity, for example, is part of a larger workstream that includes the following steps:

• Open a bug (tester)
• Triage bugs (project manager)
• Fix a bug (developer)
• Verify a fix (tester)
• Close a bug (tester)

VSTS supports this methodology by automatically updating a work item, assigning it from one person to the next as it moves through a workstream. In the case of a bug, once a bug is entered by a tester, a work item is automatically created for the project manager to triage the bug. Similarly, once a bug is fixed, the work item is assigned to the tester for verification.

CMMI Coming Later

In addition to the Agile framework, future versions of VSTS will also provide the Microsoft Solutions Framework for CMMI Process Improvement—a more formal methodology that is compliant with the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), a set of process management guidelines developed by Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute. Although seldom used by corporate IT departments and broad-market commercial software developers, some government organizations require that their vendors adhere to CMMI guidelines.

CMMI defines five maturity levels, ranging from Level 1 (ad hoc) to Level 5 (optimizing). Microsoft hopes to have a methodology for Visual Studio (VS) 2005 that meets the requirement for CMMI Level 3, which requires that "the standard process for developing and maintaining software across the organization is documented, including both software engineering and management processes, and these processes are integrated into a coherent whole."

Microsoft has yet to provide details on the CMMI framework, but has said that support will not be included in Beta 2 of VS 2005, expected in Apr. 2005.

You Can Go Your Own Way

Adopting a methodology, whether defined by Microsoft or by a third party, is a significant undertaking. Every development team has some "rules of the road"—they may not be formalized or even written down, but they exist nonetheless, and managers will need to understand their team’s current processes before adopting new, more complex, ones.

In addition, the methodologies used by VSTS are defined by a complex XML schema and modifying them (or creating new methodologies) not only requires specific knowledge of VSTS but of XML as well. Most organizations will want to rely on outside consultants or trainers to do this work.

DetailsView and FormView controls support delete operations and delegate the execution to the underlying data source control. If the data source control is configured to execute the delete operation, all works fine, otherwise an exception is thrown.

The DetailsView generates command buttons automatically and doesn't expose them directly to page code. How can you add a bit of Javascript code to ask for confirmation? Here's the code.

protected void DetailsView1_ItemCreated(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Test FooterRow to make sure all rows have been created
if (DetailsView1.FooterRow != null)
{
// The command bar is the last element in the Rows collection
int commandRowIndex = DetailsView1.Rows.Count-1;
DetailsViewRow commandRow = DetailsView1.Rows[commandRowIndex];

// Look for the DELETE button
DataControlFieldCell cell = (DataControlFieldCell) commandRow.Controls[0];
foreach(Control ctl in cell.Controls)
{
LinkButton link = ctl as LinkButton;
if (link != null)
{
if (link.CommandName == "Delete")
{
link.ToolTip = "Click here to delete";
link.OnClientClick = "return confirm('Do you really want to delete this record?');";
}
}
}
}

The ItemCreated event doesn't provide any information about the row being created. However, it can be figured out that the footer row is always created and is always the last row to be created. If the FooterRow object is not null, you can conclude that all rows have been created, including the command bar. The command bar is the first row after the data rows and is stored in the Rows collection--it's the last element in the collection. The command bar is a table row (type is DetailsViewRow) and contains a cell (type is DataControlFieldCell). The cell contains as many link buttons (type is DataControlLinkButton) as there are commands. Delete, Edit, New, Update, Cancel are the command names used and useful to identify the right button.

The FormView is fully templated and lets you manually define appearance and behavior of command buttons. If you place a custom button, or want to use a custom command name for a standard button (Edit, New, Delete), here's how to detect the click on the button. You start by adding a handler for ItemCommand. The code below shows how to deal with a custom Delete button that checks if the bound data source control is enabled for deletion before proceeding.

protected void FormView1_ItemCommand(object sender, FormViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "SmartDelete")
{
IDataSource obj = (IDataSource) FindControl(FormView1.DataSourceID);
DataSourceView view = obj.GetView("DefaultView");
if (!view.CanDelete) {
Response.Write("Sorry, you can't delete");
return;
}
else
FormView1.DeleteItem();
}
}

Wondering how to transfer "http://www.lethanhhung.com/TitleOfPage" into "http://www.lethanhhung.com/page.aspx?title=TitleOfPage"
So , you want to do that, remember there is aApplicationBeginRequest in global.asax? ApplicationBeginRequest is fired BEFORE the actual page, so we override redirecting job here :

protected void ApplicationBeginRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string path = Request.ServerVariables[“PATHINFO”];
string filename;

filename = path.Substring(path.LastIndexOf(“/”));
string destinationUrl = “/page.aspx?title=” +  filename;
Server.Transfert(destinationUrl);
}

When a critical action such as deleting / destroying / dropping.... user /database .... is excuted, system must ask user confirm before doing that important task. How can we pop op a message box to ask user ? Use this code snippet :

• Method 1:

<script language="JavaScript">

<!--

function confirm_delete()

{

if (confirm("Do you want to delete ?")==true)

return true;

else

return false;

}

-->

</script>

lbtn.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return confirm_delete();");

• Method 2 : Just add this code snippet in code behind :
  

lbtn.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return confirm('Do you want to delete ?')");

New Versions of Visual Studio 2005 and MSDN Subscription Offerings Reflect Price Cut Incentives to Upgrade From Visual Studio .NET

REDMOND, Wash. -- March 21, 2005 -- Microsoft Corp. today detailed pricing and licensing terms for Visual Studio® 2005, its comprehensive application development tool set, as well as simplification of its Microsoft® Developer Network (MSDN®) subscriptions, the primary vehicle through which most developers obtain Visual Studio. Microsoft will reduce the estimated retail price¹ of Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition while offering special pricing to existing MSDN subscribers for Visual Studio 2005 Team System, the expansion of the Visual Studio product line to include integrated software life-cycle tools. In addition, current Visual Studio users will be eligible for promotional pricing to acquire MSDN subscriptions now, in preparation for Visual Studio 2005, expected in the second half of calendar year 2005. This will enable more developers to take advantage of the productivity, security enhancements and improved deployment capabilities of the .NET Framework.

"With Visual Studio 2005 Team System, Microsoft introduces features and technologies to support application development through all phases of the software life cycle, from development to deployment," said S. Somasegar, corporate vice president of the Developer Division at Microsoft. "In addition, more accessible tools pricing for small businesses and simplification of MSDN subscription levels for our enterprise customers will enable Microsoft to deliver a complete development platform to satisfy developers at all levels."

New subscription and renewal estimated retail pricing for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional and Standard editions follow:

Visual Studio 2005 Team System and MSDN Subscriptions for New Customers

With the addition of Visual Studio Team System, Microsoft expands the definition and audience reach of the Visual Studio product line beyond developers to development teams, adding new tools for project managers, software testers, infrastructure and software architects, and IT business decision-makers. The Team System also offers new advanced features for software developers. With tightly integrated application design, development and quality tools, as well as a customizable software process methodology, Team System offers development teams the tools and processes that will help them increase the predictability of successful projects, gain greater organizational efficiency and lower overall development costs. Visual Studio Team System's role-based product line includes Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Architects, Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Developers and Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Testers. Also included in Visual Studio Team System is the Visual Studio Team Suite, which contains all three role-based products, and the new Visual Studio Team Foundation Server for more efficient team collaboration.

"The trend to align IT and the line of business clearly mandates that the IT organization provide value throughout the entire application life cycle," said Theresa Lanowitz, research director at Gartner Inc. "Requirements for products in this market and category have shifted away from individual point products and have instead begun to focus on strategic planning throughout the life cycle. Use of these more strategic products is expected to be one component of building an application quality ecosystem that also consists of people and process."

Most Visual Studio users receive Visual Studio through an MSDN subscription, and MSDN provides Software Assurance for Visual Studio. Customers choose an MSDN subscription level and receive development and test licenses for Microsoft servers and applications along with an accompanying Visual Studio product. With Visual Studio Team System, customers will continue to receive these MSDN subscription benefits with the new line of subscriptions that complement the Visual Studio 2005 product line.

Subscription and renewal estimated retail pricing for Visual Studio 2005 Team System offers tremendous value relative to the traditionally costly life-cycle products in this segment; prices for volume licenses start at $3,191 including Software Assurance. More information about the estimated retail pricing for Visual Studio 2005 Team System can be found at http://www.msdn.microsoft.com.

In addition, Microsoft will offer an MSDN subscription with Visual Studio Professional Edition products to afford small businesses the same subscription benefits as large enterprises:

No-Cost Upgrades for Active MSDN Universal Subscribers

Existing MSDN Universal subscribers can enjoy a seamless transition to Visual Studio 2005 Team System and automatically receive a no-cost upgrade to one of the role-based subscription products for each active subscription license they own at the time of product availability. Special upgrade pricing to the Team Suite also will be available. Active subscribers may elect to renew their subscription and preserve their existing pricing for future renewals, if they choose; customers without subscriptions, or customers whose subscriptions have lapsed at the time of product availability, will not receive these special pricing offers.

Promotional Opportunity to Prepare for Visual Studio 2005

In preparation for Visual Studio 2005, Microsoft will also offer promotional pricing for customers who want to purchase or upgrade an MSDN subscription. Acquiring MSDN Universal today will enable customers to take advantage of the no-cost upgrade to Visual Studio 2005 Team System upon the product's availability in the second half of 2005.

Visual Studio 2005 Transition Benefits Extend to Microsoft Partners

The Microsoft Partner Program provides software and developer license benefits via an MSDN subscription. Along with Visual Studio 2005 product availability, partners will enjoy upgrade and transition benefits. Details about Microsoft Partner Program changes will be available to all partners beginning today. Appropriate transition plans will support partners through this change in their benefits.
