If you are trying to install TFS Beta3, make sure that you configured WSS in server farm mode (during GUI setup). If you don't do that, because you don't RTFM (as I often do), you might get the error message:

"Windows SharePoint Services is not configured as recommended by Team Foundation Server

Windows SharePoint Services configuration does not meet Team Foundation Setup recommendation."

Alternatively, WSS installation can be started silently with:
C:\>DownloadDirectory\STSV2.EXE /C:"setupsts.exe /remoteSql=yes /provision=no /q"
where DownloadDirectory is the path to the location on your hard drive where you saved the downloaded file.

Today I was asked how to customize the quickwatch that the Visual Studio debugger displays for custom types. For an integer, a string, a DateTime or most other System types their values are correctly displayed. However for all custom types it just displays {MyNamespace.MyClass}.

My first guess was that the debugger just displays the output of the ToString() method however that is not true. After some searching on the web I found a newsgroup post that points out to edit the file mcee_cs.dat in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Packages\Debugger directory.

Their entries are structured like that: <Typename with Namespace>=<member to display> (but that is described in the file as well). So I made a test with my PictureGalleryImage class "<DBauer.Web.UI.WebControls.PictureGallery.PictureGalleryImage>=<Index>" and it worked really find. Not very intuitive but good to know.

After I found it out I googled again and then I found the blog post by Dan Vallejo that describes the same just with other keywords :)
