Rosario’s tiny enhancements (Work Item Queries)

Currently I’m looking at the Rosario CTP’s, what’s new and hot. So this post will hopefully be the first of a series about small enhancements which helps you in the daily work.

Work Item Queries

It’s now possible to group your queries in folders.

In VSTS 2008, I created/changed the queries with a prefix for example the “RE – User Stories” or “DEV – My Tasks”. Because if you have many queries, it’s nice to have some sorting. In Rosario you could make folders by process role. Nice!

Error when creating Team Project for TFS 2008 with Team Explorer 2005

Creating a new Team Project within Visual Studio / Team Explorer 2005 connected with a Team Foundation Server 2008 can cause in an error:

Error:
TF30170: The plugin Microsoft.ProjectCreationWizard.Portal failed during task SharePointPortal from group Portal.

Message:
The language id specified in the process template does not exist on the WSS server.

This happens because the 2005 edition does not understand the WSS 3.0 services. Microsoft has released a patch for the Team Explorer 2005 which solves the problem here.
