Installing Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010-Basic Configuration Step By Step
Posted by Rajanihanth in .Net, TFS, TFS 2010 on March 3, 2013
Installing Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010 (TFS 2010) is pretty simple, there are few types of installation available in TFS 2010/2012, they are:
- Basic
- Standard Single Server
- Advanced
- Advanced-Tier only
In this installation, I am going to choose the basic installation right now (TFS 2010) and I will post the advanced installation (in TFS 2012) later! 🙂
1. Double click the Setup.exe OR tfs_server.exe in your installation media!
2. You will get the following screen after few seconds, click Next
3. Select the license term and click Next
4. Select the necessary features and installation path then click install button.
5. Installation in progress
6. Few minutes later, you will get the following Success screen! 🙂
Select the Launch TFS Configuration Tool check box, and then click Configure button! I will post other screens tomorrow! 🙂
The control tree into which viewstate is being loaded must match the control tree that was used to save viewstate during the previous request.
Posted by Rajanihanth in .Net, ASP.Net, Tech Tips-.Net, VB.Net on February 3, 2013
I have got the following error when I was developing a gridview editing on a webpage last week. This is most common issue, even I have faced several times earlier. But I want to keep this solution for beginners!
Here is the full error message:
"Failed to load viewstate. The control tree into which viewstate is being loaded must match the control tree that was used to save viewstate during the previous request. For example, when adding controls dynamically, the controls added during a post-back must match the type and position of the controls added during the initial request"
My 1st suggestion is just check the cache! Meaning..clear your browser cache and refresh it and see whether it is working? if not continue with one of the following solutions!
1. Enable ViewState is false
Find the control which is giving problem in the page and then disable the ViewState! For me it was a DropDownList so,
<EditItemTemplate> <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" EnableViewState="false"> </asp:DropDownList> </EditItemTemplate>
2. Just place the data binding on the GridView events wherever you use the edit! For and example “RowCancelingEdit”
Protected Sub GridViewRelease_RowCancelingEdit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewCancelEditEventArgs) Handles GridViewRelease.RowCancelingEdit GridViewReleaseAnalyst.EditIndex = -1 BindData() End Sub
That’s all, No more ViewState issue! Happy Programming!!

Difference between ‘Shadowing’ and ‘Overriding’ (Shadowing vs Overriding) – C#
Posted by Rajanihanth in .Net, C#, Tech Tips-.Net, Versus (vs) on July 29, 2012
This is a very quick Tech-Tips..! Actually Shadowing is VB.Net concept, in C# this concept called hiding! We will see this chapter later. 🙂
Shadowing : Creating an entirely new method with the same signature as one in a base class.
Overriding: Redefining an existing method on a base class.
- Both are used when a derived class inherits from a base class
- Both redefine one or more of the base class elements in the derived class
If you want to read more regarding this, just follow this MSDN topic.
class A
{
public int M1()
{
return 1;
}
public virtual int M2()
{
return 1;
}
}
class B : A
{
public new int M1()
{
return 2;
}
public override int M2()
{
return 2;
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
B b = new B();
A a = (A)b;
Console.WriteLine(a.M1()); //Base Method
Console.WriteLine(a.M2()); //Override Method
Console.WriteLine(b.M1());
Console.WriteLine(b.M2());
Console.Read();
}
}
The output is : 1, 2, 2, 2
