Hey Bill,                We have our VP of HR visiting us in couple of days & management’s recommendation is to show him the TeleFun demo.  I think the features we have so far are compelling so am super excited about the opportunity, can we possibly set up a demo for day after tomorrow for 3pm? Hi John,                Would it be possible for you to take a build from Bill & bless it for the demo?ThanksKim | Business Analyst | Contoso Corporation  PS: Where there is Will Bill there is Way

Hi Bill,                I believe you already should have access to the TFS box can you actually set up nightly builds for TeleFun at some point.  I don’t mind the daily frankenstein builds but as we get closer to production it will be much better to have daily drops.  Eventually, I am hoping we will set up BVTs and CI too…                Microsoft says Team Build is easy but still if you need my help let me know () & I can free up some cycles… !!

Team Build Packaging

Hi Bill & John,                I hate to put more work on you but having deployment package with developer settings in Web.config file is prone to error, can you possibly put Staging configuration in TeleFun.zip package?                Also one more quick point, although IIS Manager UI is really cool I would like to be able to automate certain steps when I am setting up a fresh VM for Staging.  Is there a way I can set up the package from command line?Thanks in advance,  Alex | Contoso Corp.

Customizing for

Staging

Hi Bill & John,

                As you know, once we go live next week, we won’t be able to delete the DB anymore.  Have you guys tried out the Visual Studio Database Projects for differential DB deployment.  Can you quickly verify that your web packages can take differential scripts?

Thanks in advance,  Alex | Contoso Corp.
