Team System Friction

time to read 1 min | 186 words

Okay, here I am, trying to work on a Team System project using VPN. If I were using VSS, I would have known that there are going to be problems with this, but I expected much better experience from Team System.

I can’t get it to work. Each and every time I try to open the project, it pulls all the changes from the server and hung. 100% repeatable,200% annoying. The only way that I can get it to work is by disconnecting from the network, and then opening the project, which means that I work disconnected, which mean that when / if I could work through this, I would need to do some more manual work with this to merge the changes back.

What is worse, I can’t get the IDE to open without the source control binding. It shouldn’t be hard to do, I set the source control provide to none, it should not try to out-guess me and do nasty stuff behind my back like this.

I’m on eBay at the moment , ordering a dozen chicken for a dark moon ceremony, perhaps this will help.
