Copy Source as HTML in Visual Studio 2010
While playing with my fresh Visual Studio 2010 RTM version I noticed something, the Copy as HTML... context menu disappeared!
A small issue you would say and indeed it is:
- Go to: C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Addins
- Copy the file: CopySourceAsHtml.AddIn
- Go to: C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Addins
- Paste the file CopySourceAsHtml.AddIn
- Open the file CopySourceAsHtml.AddIn and replace 9.0 with 10.0
- Open Visual Studio and voila!
Result (this sample also shows multi threading in 1 line, a new feature of .NET 4.0):
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create a list of items.
var items = new Dictionary<string, int>();
items.Add("audi", 5);
items.Add("volkswagen", 1);
items.Add("mercedes", 2);
// Parallel loop.
Parallel.ForEach(items,
o =>
{
Thread.Sleep(o.Value * 1000);
Console.WriteLine(o.Key);
});
// Pause.
Console.Read();
}

TeamCity build log and build status using MSBuild
By default TeamCity's build log only shows important messages.
And the status of the build is 'Running...' until it's done or failed.
If you want to display more information during your build you have several options using your MSBuild scripts:
Writing to the build log
This can be done using the following task:
<Message Importance="high" Text="##teamcity[message text='Obfuscating...' status='WARNING']" />
Result:
Updating build status
This can be done using the following task:
<Message Importance="high" Text="##teamcity[progressMessage 'Obfuscating...']" />
