VS11 and Build xaml errors

Question

Now that I have VS11 Beta installed there appears to be some complaing by the XAMl editor about references.

Error is:

Error 1 Compiler error(s) encountered processing expression "Workspace".
Value of type 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client.Workspace' cannot be converted to 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client.Workspace'. Type mismatch could be due to mixing a file reference to 'C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client\11.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client.dll' in project 'vbhost' with a file reference to 'C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client\10.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client.dll' in project 'vbhost'. If both assemblies are identical, try replacing these references so both references are from the same location.

 c:\PateintEngWkSP\BuildProcessTemplates\CustomTemplate2.xaml 0 0 

I see 27 errors.  The first issue I saw was it complained about the variable  BuildDetail was using a type that was not defined. Type of Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client.IBuildDetail. The error may be a result  of my attempt to resolve the first issue, making things even more mucked-up.

Fortunately I have a second VM that I can use to de template development on, for now.

Hi Ramscj,

We’re doing research on this issue. It might take some time before we get back to you.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Hi Ransch,

So you have customized the build template?  On the working environment, is there any difference from the problematic one?

Thanks!

It is not a template that shows errors, it is all templates.  Including those I do not use like, "LabDefaultTemplate.xaml".

For the templates that I did not modify.  When I double click the xaml file from the source control explorer within Visual Studio 2010, I see;

Description column --> Compiler error(s) encountered processing expression "Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client.BuildStatus.Succeeded".
'BuildStatus' is ambiguous in the namespace 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client'.

File column --> c:\WorkSpaces\CPOEwksp\BuildProcessTemplates\LabDefaultTemplate.xaml

and

 Compiler error(s) encountered processing expression "BuildStatus".
Type 'BuildStatus' is not defined.

 c:\WorkSpaces\CPOEwksp\BuildProcessTemplates\LabDefaultTemplate.xaml

(15 errors total)

These errors only show in the Visual Studio 2010 on the machine where I loaded the Visual Studio 2012.  If I double click the xaml file in Visual Studio 2012 (on that same machine) to view in the editor then I do not see any errors.

If this is expected then I can live with it. As long as I can edit the xaml files.

Hi Ransch,

Since VS2012 RC is public, can you try that against VS2012 RC?

Thanks!
