Happy New Year 2011

TFS build configuration

First we have to install TFS build definition from TFS 2010 installer.
then,
If we try to create a new build using VS we will get following error since we have not configured it.

So, we have to log in to the TFS system
Then open TFS administration console

Stop TFS BUILD service

Set build service properties

Set Build service for TFS Project collection

New controller and new Agent

Create new build definition using VS

Configure Trigger time

Set build output location

If try to have a build, we will get following error,

We should give write permission for that folder in server.

Finally it Succeed.

Sharepoint Central administration 2010

 

Central administration 2010 has been changed significantly. I got this image  from one of main sharepoint site.

Create a textbox watermark using JQuery

<style
type="text/css">


.watermark

{


color: lightgrey;


font-style: italic;

}


</style>


<!--Add JQuery library reference-->


<script
type="text/javascript"
src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.js"></script>





<script
type="text/javascript">



     $(document).ready(function () {

     var val = "User Name";





     //assign some watermark value into variable

     if ($("#HeadLoginView_LoginUser_UserName").val() == "") {

     $("#HeadLoginView_LoginUser_UserName").val(val);

     }

     //Check if user and enter into the textbox and remove the class we have assigned on focus event of the text Box

     $("#HeadLoginView_LoginUser_UserName").focus(function () {

     if (this.value == val) {

     this.value = "";

     $("#HeadLoginView_LoginUser_UserName").removeClass("watermark"); //remove class when user focus on the textbox

     }



     });

     // If user did not enter any value in the text box then assign back the watermark value and assign the class

     $("#HeadLoginView_LoginUser_UserName").blur(function () {



     if (this.value == "") {

     this.value = val;

     $("#HeadLoginView_LoginUser_UserName").addClass("watermark"); // Add class to the textbox

     }

     });

     });


</script>
