Code branching in TFS

Being in the IT world we should be always thirsty in learning new things apart from the regular work. In the world of .net , we are using to have a code repository called TFS.
   First of all we should know what is TFS?
   TFS refers to the Team Foundation Server to which all the development systems would be connected , so that the CODE will have its own house.

I will show simple example here











The developer needs to check-in the code to the TFS server so that when the other developer takes the updates from the TFS, he will get the recently checked-in code, so that he will be having updated code.

Before client release, we need to have stable branch of the code which is thoroughly tested and branched as separate version and so that developer can continue check-in the code in the current trunk in the TFS as they complete the developement , so that if there is any bug or issues in the recently checked-in code ,there will not be any problem on previously taken branch of the code.

So now the point is how to do branching?
 Yeah, here i am going to explain how to branch the code. Follow the steps as i have mentioned here.
 Step 1:
            Open the Visual studio with administrator credential. Open the Team Explorer . 

Click 'View' menu and select the 'Team Explorer' option
















Step 2:  
          Your Team Explorer window looks as follows.















Step 3:
           Right click on the Team project's root folder and select 'New Team Project'














Step 4:
       An wizard will get opened. In the 'What is the name of the team project' text box provide the name of the Version Name you want to give WITHOUT space , viz. TechGeekV5.0 etc... and provide the description about that branch such as for what purpose/which client you are going to take branch.


















Step 5:
        In the drop down select the MSF for agile Software Development V5.0 and click on Next button. Do not click on Finish button.


     














Step 6:
      In the wizard, select the 'Do not configure a SharePoint site at this time' and click on Next button. Do not click on Finish button.

















Step 7: 
       Now simply click on Finish button. 


















Yes, you are done with branching the code.

Hope this may help some one

The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults

Hi Guys,   I came across this issue  today. I was totally blank. Later i started observing the issue and realised that, this issue is caused just because of  mismatch of assembly version or any attribute  in Security token service's web.config file (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\WebServices\SecurityToken). Actual issue was i upgraded the assembly version and didn't do changes in web.config file of security token service This blog helped me to fix my issue http://underthehood.ironworks.com/2011/05/sharepoint-2010-an-exception-occurred-when-trying-to-issue-security-token-the-server-was-unable-to-p-1.html thanks pradeepa achar

[Solution] :How to not serialize the __type property on JSON object

While working on ajax- webservice , most of the time we prefer return value from web service method should be in JSON format . If we expect a web service method to return the value as JSON object then it will display few information about the source code through the __type property. Also this property is additional load for response. We ideally need to avoid this property Have a look at the below image in which it is returning JSON object which has my custom properties along with __type property. Here i have used burp suite penetration testing tool to test the loophole in our software. Through fiddler i have got the information about request /response  and wanted to hide error message which gets generated from exception. Usually stack trace may allow hackers to  retrieve error message which  contains code related information by using which hacker can easily find the loophole to hack the function.So when  exception arises hacker should not be...
