Visual Studio 2012 - Strange behavior durring the commit

Based on TFS and local machine configuration, when we make a check-in we can set a task associate with the changeset to Resolve status. There are times when you cannot change a task status to Resolve, for example different policy on TFS machine. If you are using Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2010, everything will be away – an error message will be displayed that notified you that the commit ended without success.
When working with Visual Studio 2012 you will discover that even if an error is displayed during the check-in, the changeset will be pushed to the source control without having a task associate to it. You will receive the TF237124 error, but only after the commit is pushed to source control. This will happen even if on the TFS you enforce a rule that allow to commit only if a task is specified.
I hate this behavior, because a commit is made to source control even if an error appears.
To be able to assign a task to the changeset, you will need to open the task in TFS or in the browser, navigate to ALL LINKS tabs and link the changeset to the task (you will need to know the changeset number).
If you want to change the default behavior and not to mark the task as resolve in the TFS, you will need to set to the false value the following key:
// Visual Studio 2010
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\TeamFoundation\SourceControl\Behavior]
"ResolveAsDefaultCheckinAction"="False"
//Visual Studio 2012
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\TeamFoundation\SourceControl\Behavior]
"ResolveAsDefaultCheckinAction"="False"
The problem with a check-in that is made even if an errors appears I expect to be solved in the near future. Is not acceptable this behavior.

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

Can User Technical Profile Influence AI Architecture Decisions?

In the last few days, I ran a small experiment on Devin/Windsurf/Cascade, BMAD, and LLM-based architecture decisions. The initial concern was simple: if an AI coding assistant knows something about the user, for example, that the user is a Java developer or a .NET developer, can this information influence the architecture and technology stack that the AI will propose? This question is important because many companies are starting to use AI tools not only for coding but also for product discovery, architecture, documentation, and technical decision-making. If the AI is influenced by the developer's personal profile, the result may not be fully neutral. It may look like a business or architecture decision, but in reality, it may be partially shaped by the context of the person using the tool. The test was done using BMAD with Devin/Windsurf/Cascade. The scenario was a unified field service operations platform. The task was to let BMAD refine the product, define the architecture and s...

ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded

Today blog post will be started with the following error when running DB tests on the CI machine: threw exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The Entity Framework provider type 'System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer' registered in the application config file for the ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded. Make sure that the assembly-qualified name is used and that the assembly is available to the running application. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more information. at System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.DependencyResolution.ProviderServicesFactory.GetInstance(String providerTypeName, String providerInvariantName) This error happened only on the Continuous Integration machine. On the devs machines, everything has fine. The classic problem – on my machine it’s working. The CI has the following configuration: TeamCity .NET 4.51 EF 6.0.2 VS2013 It see...
