Team Foundation Server: Change profile picture

In Team Foundation Server, you can set a picture for your user profile. This picture is shown at different locations inside the TFS Web Access. As long as you don’t set a picture, you only get a boring icon.

For example the Team members overview looks like this on the Overview page of your TFS project:

Let’s change this!

  • Navigate to the Web Access url of the Team project that has the User Profiles you want to set.
  • Navigate to the Administration page by clicking on the Wheel icon in the upper right corner.

  • Click on the Security tab

  • Select Users from the left panel

  • Select the User Profile you want to edit.
  • Click on the image on the top right hand corner to edit the image.

  • In the Profile Image dialog, upload your image and Save Changes.

  • That’s it!

If we now look at the Team Members again, you’ll see:

Remark: This change will be applied to all your Team projects.

Another way to get there:

  • Click on your name in the right corner of the page

  • Select My profile

  • Click on Change picture

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.

VS Code Planning mode

After the introduction of Plan mode in Visual Studio , it now also found its way into VS Code. Planning mode, or as I like to call it 'Hannibal mode', extends GitHub Copilot's Agent Mode capabilities to handle larger, multi-step coding tasks with a structured approach. Instead of jumping straight into code generation, Planning mode creates a detailed execution plan. If you want more details, have a look at my previous post . Putting plan mode into action VS Code takes a different approach compared to Visual Studio when using plan mode. Instead of a configuration setting that you can activate but have limited control over, planning is available as a separate chat mode/agent: I like this approach better than how Visual Studio does it as you have explicit control when plan mode is activated. Instead of immediately diving into execution, the plan agent creates a plan and asks some follow up questions: You can further edit the plan by clicking on ‘Open in Editor’: ...
