Visual Studio Tabs - Show Title instead of Work Item Number?

When opening individual work items in Visual Studio, the tab in the document well just says "Task 100485" or "Bug 38374".  Is there a way to instead have it show the Title of the work item?  Just showing the number isn't really
helpful when quite a few are kept open.

Hi Brian,  
Thanks for your post.
We show view the work item Title in each opened work item form in VS. As the work item’s tab has fixed width in VS, so if show the work item Title in each work item’s tab in VS, it will costs the wide width, if work item’s title is long, maybe two or three
work item tabs can show in VS at the same time.
As far as I know there’s no default way to change work item’s tab show work item Title in VS. For this scenario, please
submit it to User Voice site at: http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio. Microsoft engineers will evaluate them seriously.

  • Is it possible to create a Visual Studio plugin that can copy TFS work item ID by adding a context menu in the work item UI?

    Our team is using VS2013 and TFS 2013, and in our daily work we often open a TFS query, then we need to open a work item, and we often need to copy the ID, for example, to the email.
    But currently the field is read only, and we often manually copy it.
    So is there any convenient way to solve this? Any built in ways?
    If no, is it possible to create such a plugin?

    Hi Lei Yang
    You can try the following work around to copy work item ID
    for VS 2013:
    Right click on work item tab header in VS 2013 and click 'Copy Full Path' from context menu
    When you paste it on notepad/email you will get work item ID at the end of the path:

    For Web Portal:
    Right click on work item link at top and click 'Copy shortcut' from the context menu
    When you paste it on notepad/email you will get work item ID at the end of the shortcut:

  • How to replace a dates on a SQL query on Visual Studio (and get the query to work in there in the first place)?

    Morning all,
    I've just been assigned a report-related project but I have not created much of anything in C# or .Net before!
    I was wondering if someone could help me get started. Here are the specifications:
    Basically, I am to create an automated report application. I have the query and I will include it further down
    in this post. The page is to have a couple blanks to specify the Start Date and End Date and replace those dates in the query, and generate the report. What I need some help on is how to make the SQL query work in the application which I will connect to the
    intended database to generate the report (basic I know, but I'm new at this) on Visual Studio 2010. I also need some help on programming the Start Date blank and End Date blank so that what the user types in for those blanks will replace the date fields in
    the SQL query, then generate the report with the new dates. 
    I appreciate the help!
    The SQL query and what the dates are replacing:

    Could you elaborate more on what this code does in general?
    Does it generate a table with the data between specified dates? If so, where is the table shown? 
    Where does one enter in the specified start and end dates on the Web Application? Do I have to create start and end date blanks and link them to the code for it to work?
    Sorry for the inconvenience - I'm just really new at this. Thanks!

    Hello John,
    Thanks for posting here!
    You can try and set a credential helper like
    git-credential-winstore in order to cache your credentials. See if that helps.
    Couple of questions here:
    1) Are you using a MSA account by any chance?
    2) When you turn on two-factor authentication, do you get any error message?
    3) Did you try with different browsers?
    Looking forward to your response!

  • Visual Studio 2013 Pro - Winforms toolbox icons beside items are missing for some 3rd party vendors controls

    I noticed last weekend after installing VS 2013.4 update that the Winforms toolbox, while showing all items, did not display the icons beside the items for any custom/third party Winform controls. The only icon
    showing in the toolboxes are the Pointer icon. I can select and drop any control onto a project, and as soon as I move mouse into the design surface the icon shows. Neither the
    builtin Winforms controls nor the WPF toolbox exhibit the same symptom. It is specific to Winforms third party controls (ActiPro and DevExpress). At first I thought it was due to the update, then I found that my laptop was
    already exhibiting this symptom, running 2013.3 (I had not dropped any controls from the toolbox in the past few weeks so I did not notice).
    The two machines (laptop and workstation) are running Windows 7 64-bit Professional and Ultimate, respectively. These machines are dedicated to development, and are secured, also running Norton Antivirus.
    I also have VS 2010 and VS 2012 which don't exhibit the symptom, though I finally removed 2012 last night during my adventures. I had all three VS side by side, running well for months (I added VS 2013 in June). VS
    2013 had been functioning well on a daily basis for the dozen or so Winforms projects and the odd WPF or MVC project.
    I use DevExpress v2014 and ActiPro controls; I have been using them for years now.
    I've spent 2 days trying remedies that include:
    Resetting Toolbox
    Removal of *.spd files in %APPDATA%, restarting VS
    Uninstall Visual Studio, remove and delete of any Visual Studio remnant in the registry, Program Files(x86), %APPDATA% and %PROGRAMDATA%, reinstall.
    Repeat step 3 with VS 2013.1 and .3
    Downgraded .NET to 4.5.1 to match my third, correctly functioning computer (also running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate).
    DevExpress has told me this isn't a problem they have seen. At first I agreed, since my ActiPro controls also are missing their icons, but then I noted that other vendor controls display fine. Not sure what else to do but to nuke the workstation and install
    from OS up.

    DevExpress is discussing this issue in the thread here : https://www.devexpress.com/support/center/Question/Details/T174133#comment-a98eedf1-ca54-4920-a2d6-49506ddae5b5
    The small sample they provided in the thread actually reproduces the bug in my environment.
    Since I cannot post screenshots here on MSDN forum (I explained above, when I try to attach pictures I
    receive an error that my account is not verified). There is nothing more I can do.
    This appears to be a bug in Visual Studio 2013. VS 2010 and 2012 are on the same machine and do not exhibit
    the problem. It is frustrating how unresponsive Microsoft is to my issue. I am a long-time MSDN subscriber, as well as customer of multiple seats of the retail copies of Visual Studio. It looks like the only way to get attention is to pay for a incident. If
    Microsoft is interested in actually seeing this bug in action, I have 2 machines that are preserved. I have installed a fresh environment on my backup PC.

  • Can someone tell me how to set my name so when I send a text it shows up instead of my phone number

    Can someone tell me how to set my name so when I send a text it shows up instead of my phone number

    You can't do that. Only the sending number is transmitted by the carrier with an SMS message. If the recipient has you in their address book, with most smart phones and some others, the name will display, but that's a function of the phone on the receiving end.

  • Why don't restored tabs show titles in Firefox 4? They just say "mozilla firefox."

    In Firefox 3.6 when I restored tabs, all of the headings of the tabs immediately loaded. Now in Firefox 4 the tabs are restored but at least have of the headings don't load. They just say "Mozilla Firefox." I then have to go to the sites to get the heading names to appear. I'm wondering what is going on and if this can be fixed.

    App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Visual Studio Community 2013 does not show database explorer

    I am a Newbie who wants to learn web development. it seems in older version of visual studio, when you add a database item in solution explorer there is a database explorer.
    but now in my visual studio 2013, if i add a database item, there is no database explorer to let me browse table or others below. Why? I installed SQL express and Visual Studio on windows 8.1 x64
    Also any pointers to free tutorial on the internet that lets me learn and practise working with database in a web application?

    Hello Lenny,
    Can you see Server Explorer in your VS? What about show us a sceenshot so that we can understand your problem.
    I do not have VS 2013 Community right now but in my point of view you should have related components. I will also install VS Community later and share you some info.

  • The touchpad scroll doesn't work in visual studio?

    Hello,
    As I mentioned in the title, the touchpad scroll doesn't work or affect visual studio community. The scrolling works very well with other software but it doesn't with visual studio community. This same button worked with VS 2010, VS 2012 (It stopped sometimes
    but still functioning correctly most of the time), and stopped with 2013 versions. Why? 
    Take a look at the video to see the problem in action: http://youtu.be/Qt20pM6ZQAo

    Scroll button on what? Are you using a mouse with a scroll wheel, or is this a laptop touch pad?

  • Compact Server 4.0 not working in Visual Studio 2014 app

    I have an application that uses Microsoft SQL Server Compact version 4.0. The application works on Windows 8 and it works on windows 7, but it doesn't work on Small Business Server. I created the application with a compact server so it would be flexible
    enough to be installed on anyone's computer. The error I am getting is as follows
    "A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
    (provider: sQL Network Interfaces, error: 52-Unable to locate a Local Database Runtime installation. Verify that SQL Server Express is properly installed and that the Local Database Runtime feature is enabled.)"
    I verified that the install folder has permissions and the application is running as administrator. Does anyone have an idea of what else I should check? I was looking at Visual Studio and I didn't see how to set "remote connections". Plus the
    application works on my machine (where it was designed).
    Thanks for any help you can provide.
    Hmm... I feel like I have more questions than answers. If you find my reply helpful please mark as Answer below. Thanks.

    Hi Trewaters,
    SQL Server Compact has been deprecated from Visual Studio 2013. Refer to this
    connect item.
    According to the error message, I recommend you install SQL Server 2014 Express or SQL 2014 LocalDB, which can be downloaded from below link.
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42299
    LocalDB is created specifically for developers. It is very easy to install and requires no management. While LocalDB is meant for developers, the regular SQL Server Express will continue to exist as a free SQL Server edition, fully compatible with and easily
    upgradeable to higher SQL Server editions.
    For more information about SQL Server LocalDB, you can review the following articles.

  • How to configure a proxy server for Windows Azure Tools in Visual Studio 2013

    Hi Visual Studio/Azure Tools team
    I would like to use the Windows Azure tools in Visual Studio 2013 to manage my Azure Web sites (Server Explorer -> Windows Azure -> Web Sites) from within my corporate network which is secured using a proxy server. Unfortunately, I am not able to use
    the Windows Azure tools since the required HTTPS connection to windows azure is not going through the default configured proxy. Instead, Visual Studio tries directly to connect to port 443 which is blocked by our corporate firewall (and yes: there is no way
    around using our proxy server). Other visual studio features like NuGet, updates, etc. work fine and use the configured proxy server. 
    So my question: How can I configure visual studio respective its Azure tools to use a proxy server instead of a direct connection? I already tried configuring the proxy server within the file devenv.exe.config but this doesn't show any effect for Windows Azure
    tools.
    Regards
    tschaena

    As we have very similar problems I consider the found solution a work arround an existing problem which will not work if corporate FW policy does not allow such changes.
    In my mind, any tools in charge of dealing with some sort of FW protocols should deliver the following information, should make it absolute clear how to setup that the request packages are setup rigth at the first time.
    a) proxy server
    b) proxy port
    c) proxy user
    d) proxy users-password
    e) proxy.auth.Preference="BASIC"
    And for moste tools (including Visual Studio and AZUR Tools) it is absolut unclear
    a) how to setup that on a per tools basis
    b) OR who inherits this information from whom    i.e. use the same as IE does, what if we use FireFox or any other browsers?
    I understand that developers requested to cure such problem areas will often have difficulty to gain all required elemenst used to realy test the solution.
    But I can tell you: I loos more time figthing down the FW setups for my clients. WHat I do at home in a sniff, takes ages to be realised by all the various clients on the market where each has to deliver the same sort of information but actually does not,
    or has it just somewhere, but not in the vicinity of the demanding user.
    Good examples i.e. NetBeans IDE where the Option Menu shows very clearly what information is required to pass through a FW/Proxy; but even there, the hint to start with a BASIC authentication schema is not part of this OPTION menu and must be added a JAVA
    environment value. But at least, it works.
