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

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...
