Hello, Everyone

We have 5 developers here using C#, developing Windows Forms apps and
webservices, we currently use VS2005 Pro and Visual Source Safe 4, but have
too many problems like Visual Source Safe issues, Performance with large
solutions, ...

Is Team System any good?
Sound like it wraps all the little pieces together nice, (Unit testing,
coverage, performance testing).

How does it compare to the third party pieces?
Cost factors?

What is VS package is everyone else using, and what kind of source control?

Also note, we have a Java team and they use CVS for source control and are
very happy with it. We are looking into possible CVS integration.

I have installed SP1, seems to have fixed a few items, but it's still very
slow, the designer just drags..

Thanks,

Schneider

I've talked to people who love it. I've talked to people who hate it. Both
seem to be generally rational and stable people. After using it for a while,
and talking to those folk, I think I'm in the "Wait for the next version"
camp.

That it does. I've just talked to too many people who were in the "well, it
works, but it's not quite as good as we had hoped for given the price.
Hopefully the next version should be great...".

Depends on what you're looking for.

We use Visual Studio 2005 Pro, Sourcegear Vault is our source control
provider, and SourgeGear Dragnet is our bug tracking database. We do daily
builds using MS-Build. Unit Testing is with a home-grown product very
similar to (but completly different than) NUnit.

Bug Tracking and Source Code control are (to some degree) integrated.

We do have a single VS2005 TeamSuite license, so that we can do targeted
Itanium builds.

I don't know as I would use CVS at this point. Subversion seems to be a
viable candiate though.

I can tell you that we haven't had a single instance of source-code
corrutpion in all the time we've been using Vault. It's been great. The
Visual Studio integration is pretty good too.

Nothing is going to help that, unfortunatly. Well, expect for a
dual-processor quad-core system... :)
 
Thanks, Chris

Was hoping for feedback from more people, but maybe soon..
