Hi,

I'm testing the new TFS 2011 beta. All is good about source control, work items, .. but it seems that the build template provided by FinalBuilder 7 has to be upgraded.&nbsp;It is&nbsp;for TFS 2010 and it&nbsp;uses TFS 2010 dlls, so cannot be used with the new build configuration.

Is there a way to use the old finalbuilder build template, or if not, does someone know the availibility date of the template adapted to TFS 2011 ?

We haven’t even looked at TFS2011 yet, and probably won’t until it gets to release candidate stage. We have wasted so much time on TFS betas in the past, things keep breaking between betas and it makes no sense to waste resources on it at this time.

Hi Vincent,   
  
 TFS 2012 RTM has been delivered few days ago.   
 Do you think that you will take a look at this release in the next weeks ?

We are working on it. The api’s have changed (again) and I’m having trouble getting anything working. It doesn’t help that the workflow designer in VS is so buggy that it crashes VS all the time.

Unfortunately we still have not been able to get our custom activity to work. I got it compiling, however it errors when loading into VS and we have not been able to figure out what the problem is. You can just call FBCMD using an execute program activity as a work around for now.
