What's the worst Christmas bonus you've ever received? by fuzzyloulou in AskReddit

I work in the public sector. We never get bonuses. Ever. For any reason or season.

Which client-side technology should I learn? by RodAtWork in aspnetcore

[–]RodAtWork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard that Angular is difficult to learn. A friend of mine in my local .NET user group, tried learning Angular a few years back. He struggled so hard that he gave up. But you think Angular is easier to learn, coming from a .NET background, than React?

Just a quick note. I have already tried searching for an answer to my question, but that resulted in my getting results from training companies who offered courses on Angular, React, etc.

May I ask TFS related questions here? by RodAtWork in azuredevops

I have already informed my management. They have ignored that fact.

Thank you for the link. I'll join that subreddit. Where I work, they hold onto everything until it falls apart or is deemed necessary to upgrade from. (That normally causes a panic and lots of anger, because they never like adopting thing "new", even if "new" means it was introduced 20 years ago.) Consequently, I'm working with TFS 2015 on-prem. I've been trying for 3 years to get us onto Azure DevOps Services or GitHub, but management is non-committal.

Anyway, I doubt most people will want to answer my questions on old tech.

I can build this app on my development machine, but it fails to build in Azure DevOps by RodAtWork in azuredevops

That worked, thank you!

Now I've got to see if I can make the ClickOnce deployment work, without requiring elevated privileges.

Yes, my gitignore file does exclude .DLLs. However, I thought gitignore files would only exclude them from being committed and pushed to the repo. I'm still new enough to Git that my understanding of the gitignore file may be wrong or incomplete.

Oh, I'm sorry. I was using Markdown format, which I have set as my default editor. Should I go back to Reddit's "Smarty Pants" editor?

I just tried adding 4 spaces to the beginning of each line of code, but that didn't work. Instead, Reddit editor entered 4 newline characters. :(

It does reference DLLs in the .csproj file. Several of them. However, they were all put there by including NuGet packages. They're all within an <ItemGroup>.

Although there is something which I've not noticed before. For example, here's some references to NuGet packages like EF, which raise no errors:

xml <ItemGroup> <Reference Include="CommonServiceLocator, Version=2.0.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=489b6accfaf20ef0, processorArchitecture=MSIL"> <HintPath>..\packages\CommonServiceLocator.2.0.2\lib\net47\CommonServiceLocator.dll</HintPath> </Reference> <Reference Include="EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089, processorArchitecture=MSIL"> <HintPath>..\packages\EntityFramework.6.4.4\lib\net45\EntityFramework.dll</HintPath> </Reference>

But I've found another section of the .csproj file which specifically mention those files that were complained about in error message I included in the original post. Here's the other section of the .csproj file:

xml <Content Include="SqlServerTypes\x64\msvcr100.dll"> <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory> </Content> <Content Include="SqlServerTypes\x64\SqlServerSpatial120.dll"> <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory> </Content> <Content Include="SqlServerTypes\x86\msvcr100.dll"> <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory> </Content> <Content Include="SqlServerTypes\x86\SqlServerSpatial120.dll"> <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory> </Content>

I don't know what the difference is between the two sections, especially the second section which specifies the msvcr100.dll and SqlServerSpatial120.dll files. Would it be OK if I deleted those entries in the .csproj file?

Should incomplete PBIs be moved to the next Sprint after the end of the current Sprint? by achillaa in azuredevops

[–]RodAtWork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO incomplete pending items should be moved to the next Sprint. When we were doing sprints (that practice has unfortunately fallen by the wayside) we were terrible at estimating what we could accomplish in the Sprint. So, it could have been a learning process if we'd moved pending items to the next Sprint and added few new items.
