View builds across multiple projects

One very annoying thing in Team Foundation Server 2010 is that you can only see the builds for 1 team project in Team Explorer. This is especially a problem when you are running many builds and you want to know which builds are already queued/running.

Luckily this is really easy to create yourself using the TFS object model.  Create a simple console application in Visual Studio and add the following code:

 

   1:  using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client;
   2:  using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client;
   3:   
   4:  var tfs = TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.GetTeamProjectCollection(new Uri("http://myTFS/MyCollection"));
   5:  var bs = tfs.GetService<IBuildServer>();
   6:  var qbSpec = bs.CreateBuildQueueSpec("*", "*");
   7:  var qbResults = bs.QueryQueuedBuilds(qbSpec);
   8:   
   9:  foreach (var qb in qbResults.QueuedBuilds)
  10:  {
  11:      var status = qb.Status.ToString();
  12:      var def = qb.TeamProject + @"\" + qb.BuildDefinition.Name;
  13:      var pri = qb.Priority.ToString();
  14:      var datequeued = qb.QueueTime.ToString();
  15:      var requestedBy = qb.RequestedBy;
  16:   
  17:      if (qb.RequestedBy != qb.RequestedFor)
  18:      {
  19:          requestedBy = qb.RequestedBy + " (for " + qb.RequestedFor + ")";
  20:      }
  21:      Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} {2} {3} {4}", status, def, pri, datequeued, requestedBy);
  22:  }
  23:

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

Cleaner switch expressions with pattern matching in C#

Ever find yourself mapping multiple string values to the same result? Being a C# developer for a long time, I sometimes forget that the C# has evolved so I still dare to chain case labels or reach for a dictionary. Of course with pattern matching this is no longer necessary. With pattern matching, you can express things inline, declaratively, and with zero repetition. A small example I was working on a small script that should invoke different actions depending on the environment. As our developers were using different variations for the same environment e.g.  "tst" alongside "test" , "prd" alongside "prod" .  We asked to streamline this a long time ago, but as these things happen, we still see variations in the wild. This brought me to the following code that is a perfect example for pattern matching: The or keyword here is a logical pattern combinator , not a boolean operator. It matches if either of the specified pattern...
