Network Issues with Visual Studio Online Application Insgihts

My team is using Visual Studio Application Insights to monitor availability of our web server (we use cloud service)by making a call to it every 5 minutes from different locations around the world including Singapore, Japan, France and Switzerland.
We experienced continuous failures of this monitoring from Singapore from September, 19-th and the issue became very big on September 21-st, September, 22-nd. After that on September, 23-rd and 24-th we have failures form Paris. Then starting from September,
24-th to September, 26 we have very high percent of failures from Japan. Our problems finished with one more failure coming from Switzerland on September, 26.
I wanted to find what the source of the problem is since we checked our code and it very simple to cause network issues. However, it is very difficult to reproduce the issue. My questions is - were all these problems coming from Visual Studio Online Application
Insights?
One example error that it is tracked in Visual Studio Online Application Insights is:
System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because
connected host has failed to respond 138.91.9.51:8080
   at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.EndConnect(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
   at System.Net.ServicePoint.ConnectSocketInternal(Boolean connectFailure, Socket s4, Socket s6, Socket& socket, IPAddress& address, ConnectSocketState state, IAsyncResult asyncResult, Exception& exception)
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.EndGetResponse(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.WebStress.WebTestTransaction.ResponseReceived(IAsyncResult result)
   at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.EndConnect(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
   at System.Net.ServicePoint.ConnectSocketInternal(Boolean connectFailure, Socket s4, Socket s6, Socket& socket, IPAddress& address, ConnectSocketState state, IAsyncResult asyncResult, Exception& exception)
Thank you!

Hello Kanio,
There is nothing AI-specific in the stack, and, since the exception was reported to the portal, I would say that AI was working that time. However, if the issues goes away as soon as you disable AI - then it might mean that the issue is induced by AI presence.
Also, you can try the latest AI SDK (0.13 as of today) and see if the issue still happens.

NCO 2.0 issue with Visual Studio 2003

Hi,
I was attempting to use the SAP Connector for .Net version 2.0 on a machine that has both Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 installed. However, I cannot seem to get the wizard to work correctly in either one. On VS2005, the SaP Connector doesn't even show up in the project types. On VS2003, it does, but the wizard screen doesn't come up. Instead, I am forced to use the Server Explorer toolbar to search for RFC and BAPI functions. I used the guide published by Anne Tarnoruder, Reiner Hille-Doering regarding this subject (Using SAP Connector for MS .Net (NCO) in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005), however, whenever I add an SAP Connector Proxy item to a project, it generates a half-done SAPProxy1.cs and the requisite .wsdl designer file. After selecting one or more RFCs via the SAP server explorer toolbox and dropping it to the proxy designer, it doesn't appear to update the half-done SAPProxy1.cs. Is this the way it is supposed to work? I am using XP with SP2 and Java 1.5 update 11.

Tristan

Facing bug Issue with Visual Studio 2010 SP1 software. need a Hotfix Patch KB2561001

Hi Team,
i have installed Visual Studio 2010 SP1 software in my system. but i am facing some issue with a bug. This bug needs a Specific Hotfix Patch ( KB2561001).
But when i am clicked on above link, not able to find this patch.
Kindly request you to provide this Requested patch as project has been stuck without this.
please look into this issue on priority. Eager to listen from your side.

Hi mihir ray,
Like this report:
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/611665/storegeneratedpattern-does-not-saved-properly-into-edmx-entity-framework-4-0
It seems that the link for this kb is not available. So the real issue is that which kind of issue you get, and then check whether this issue has been resolved by the latest VS version. Like the above report, maybe the new VS version would be better for
certain limitations for old versions.
Best Regards,
Jack

Would I have tighter control with TFS as opposed to Visual Studio Online?

We have developers from all over the world and I want to make sure that our code which is our company's intellectual property is as secure as possible. We're currently using Visual Studio Online but a potentially disgruntled developer can log into VSO and
download our code into his/her local computer. I really want to prevent this scenario.
Would I have tighter control and security by implementing our own TFS server in a VM on Azure?
Thanks, Sam

Here's further clarification of my scenario:
First, we're entirely on Azure -- no on-premises network. We have a virtual network on Azure along with our ADs, VMs, etc. Our developers, both internal and external, use RemoteApp to write to their code so everything stays in the "cloud".
The problem with Visual Studio Online (VSO) is that a disgruntled developer could use his/her login credentials to log into VSO and download the code into their local machine.
Our objective is to keep everything that belongs to the company within our "virtual network" on Azure and NOWHERE ELSE.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think a traditional TFS approach -- running on a VM within our virtual network -- may give me tighter security due to the fact that there's no public "end point" where a developer can connect. Therefore we should be
able to restrict code access to devices i.e. RemoteApp within our virtual network ONLY.
Is that a fair assumption or not?
P.S. I really don't want to manage yet another VM and we LOVE using services but I feel a service based approach such as VSO may not necessarily satisfy our security needs.
Thanks, Sam

Release management with Azure and Visual Studio Online (Cloud TFS)

What strategy would you use to manage the releasing of versioned software to Azure cloud services (web and worker roles)? We are not looking for continuous integration. We are using Visual Studio 2013 and Visual Studio Online (Cloud TFS).
At one point, we were releasing straight from Visual Studio using the Azure Cloud Project Publish tool. This is really bad practice in my opinion as you can never be sure what you are really releasing. Additionally, there is no automated control on the labeling
or branching of code, or the running of unit tests and code analysis checks.
Next, we employed Release builds on Visual Studio Online. Before deployment, one would edit the appropriate Build Definition (whether it be for Test or Production by and filling in the code label (under the "Get Version" build property) that is to
be released. This would then get the appropriate code (by the label specified), build it, and release it to whatever cloud service is specified in the targeted Cloud Project profile (this is using the AzureContinuousDeployment.11.xaml template).
There is still a degree of manual intervention involved. Also, the fact that a version of code is built every time before it is released is not ideal (as far as I understand it would be better if it was packaged once).
Microsoft Release Management tools
look ideal for the job, but are not supported with Visual Studio Online.
Is there a better way of handling our releases?

/waves hand.. These are not the tools you seek. You are looking for continuous integration.
Although CI has the word continuous in there, it does not mean "all the time, every checkin". It can easily refer only to those bits you want to release - -and the way to tell the system which bits you want released is to merge them to a Releases
branch.
If you do this, not only do you get all the joy of controlled CI, but you guarantee what you release is exactly what is controlled in your SCM - under the Releases branch, preferably tagged or otherwise noted as a particular release. That means you can also
rollback to a previous release by simply reverting to a previous release in your SCM!
Of course you don't have to let it happen automatically, you can set it up to build 'continually' and then remove the check on the SCM to see if any changes have been committed. You can replace this with the manual build button.

Visual Studio Online can send you back to zero with one simple mistake.

I was recently motivated by Microsoft team to move my code from other cloud services to Azure. I found out that it was very easy to make changes to the code using visual studio online until I lost all my code today and Microsoft team was unable to help me.
When you click git section and further click on 'intialize git' it brings all your code into a git, in case you don't like that and want to go back the moment you'll click 'undo all' you'll lose everything you have. I believe when someone clicks undo all
the code must go back to explore where it initially was.
I know many of you would think of me as a noob but there are millions like me who are not very familiar with visual studio online and if I've lost my code someone else might too. Only coders know what it means when you loose a live web app which has hundreds
of beta testers on it.

i'm very sorry to hear that. I saw your tweet and provided my email address - I'd like to see if there's anything I can do to help.
Also, if you haven't already, try a disk recovery tool to retrieve deleted files before (hopefully) they are overwritten in case we cannot come up with anything else.

Does Visual Studio Online support filtering Product Backlog/Sprint Views and Kanban by Area?

There seems to be guidance out there now that suggests using one Master Team Project (with Areas and Iterations for partitioning) for everything rather than a Team Project per Application/Solution as the 'out of the box' product sort of steers you towards.
If this guidance is valid, and I've heard that Microsoft use this approach internal, then is it possible to follow this guidance when using Visual Studio Online?
I ask because it appears that in order to follow the 'Master Team Project' approach you need to be able to filter various elements of the TFS UI by Area and Iteration in order to allow a discrete view of just the material relating to one 'logical' application,
team, etc.
Whilst I see how on-premise TFS can do some of this, I can't see any obvious way to do this with Visual Studio Online - and I'm new to that particular product so accept I may have missed something.
So my question is, can you follow the 'Master Team Project' approach if using Visual Studio Online and if so could someone steer me in the right direction please?
Thanks

Hi RedDwarf62,
Visual Studio Online(formerly Team Foundation Service) is a cloud-based service. When work with it, you can take it as TFS but no infrastructure to manage. You can follow the guide to work with Visual Studio Online.
To have mulpitle Applications/Solutions in one team project or use a team project for each application depends on you and the relationship between solutions/projects. If the solutons/applications has refences each other, it would be better to include
them in the same team project.
Working within a single Team Project also has its benefits. You can check this blog for more informaiton:

Application Insights for load testing in VS 2013, Azure Preview or Visual Studio Online?

I'm trying to get some clarification on which version of application insights to use to get performance counters from application insights for my azure cloud service for load and performance testing purposes.
So far, its not be clear what the differences between the two versions are, after deploying first the Azure Preview version, I attempted to set up performance counters using application insights but was shown an error because my visual studio online account
did not have an associated application insights instance.
Is it possible to get performance counters using AI for load testing using the Azure Preview version? If so, how? If not, is that planned as a new feature or will performance counters for VSO cloud based load testing have to be used when support for the
VSO version of application insights is eventually dropped?
Thanks,
Luke

Hi Alex, thanks for your response. I do have an Azure account, and have tinkered with AI in Azure Preview. My question was more about what the differences between the VSO and azure preview versions of AI are.
When I initially deployed AI to the azure portal and tried to run load tests from visual studio (cloud load tests, that is) I could not. Its possible I had made a mistake in configuring the azure version of application insights though. Strangely enough,
I actually do still see application insights data in the azure preview portal after I removed the newer AI version and installed AI 1.3.
To clarify my question, is it or will it be possible to run cloud based load tests (using visual studio online or another integrated service) against a azure web role deployed with application insights for azure and get performance counters of the system
under test via AI? To do that, will I also have an application insights application in the visual studio online account (similar to how I do now with the VSO version of AI), because that seems to be a requirement to load performance counters from application
insights within visual studio.
Thanks and sorry if I misunderstood your answer.

"Visual Studio Online does not support your browser. Please upgrade to a supported browser to ensure a fantastic experience" message with IE 11

Hi All,
I have recently migrated from TFS 2010 to TFS 2013. When developers are accessing TFS Web interface from IE 11 they are getting message "Visual Studio Online does not support your browser. Please upgrade to a supported browser to ensure
a fantastic experience!" and page is not showing up correctly. I can open Web interface from Chrome without any issues. Also I figured out if I open Developer Tools (F12) in IE Web Interface also works fine and screwed up again
when I close Developer Tools.
What can be wrong with IE11 settings?
Regards,
Oleg

Hi Oleg,
Thanks for your post.
You’re using TFS 2013 Update 4 now?
Please share your IE 11 screenshot within this error message here.
Have you use the TeamCompanion in your TFS Server? If yes, please refer to the solution in this article:

Problem with "View project-level information" permission when accessing build definition in Visual Studio Online

Hi,
from some time all our team members are experiancing problems when acsessing list of builds on Visual Studio Online or when trying to edit build definition in Visual Studio. Error message suggests problem with missing View project-level information permission:
"TF50309: The following account does not have sufficient permissions to complete the operation: XXXXXXXX. The following permissions are needed to perform this operation: View project-level information."
I've checked permissions of my User account and Group. "View project-level information" is set to Allow on both levels. We didn't make any changes in security configuration recently. Does anyone faced similar problem?
Short term solution was to add all users, to Project Collection Administrators Group, but it is not what we would like to live with.

It seems that the problem was fixed and Project Collection Administrators permissions are no longer required. Great :-)

Develop streaming data processing applications in C# with Stream Computing Platform and Storm in HDInsight. Can this be done with Visual Studio Community sign up?

Hello,
I am a student and love the Visual Studio Community 2013 to implement some of my research projects. I am currently working on a project that involves streaming data analysis. I found this article ( http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/hdinsight-hadoop-storm-scpdotnet-csharp-develop-streaming-data-processing-application/
) but do not have MSDN subscription (I cannot afford it) as required in the article. Can this be done somehow with Visual Studio Community 2013 sign up?
Thank you all in advance for your time and for your help.
J.K.W

Hi,
I just confirmed that the key with Visual Studio Community is that, although it is free like Express, it does not have the limitations that Visual Studio Express had. So, to answer your question, Yes - you can do all your development work as a student with
VS Community 2013 sign up. You can also refer to this blog for more details -
