VSTS Tip #001 - Grouping your WHERE clause
I am hoping to add a few posts with tips and tricks on the things
we are learning whilst using Microsoft's Team System. With our first beta just around
the corner my blogging time is seriously limited but hopefully I will find gaps
every now and again to add helpful things that might save you some time.
The first is how to group your WHERE clause when creating VTST
Queries - it is simple and easy when you know how but if you don't then it is not
immediately obvious.
All you need to do is select the rows that you would like to group
(basically inserting logical brackets into the clause), right click in the
selected aread and choose 'Group Clauses'.
Hope that helps - next I would like to blog about adding your own custom Work
Items to Team System, and then how to customise the layout and workflow of that
and existing Work Items (this is where I started to realise the true power of
VSTS) so watch this space.
