Visual Studio MDG Integration for Visual Studio 2015

[Tad Anderson]

When can we expect to see Visual Studio MDG Integration for Visual Studio 2015?  We are about to kick off a new project and would like to use it for linking with TFS Work Items.

Hi EA Team!

Can we get an update on the topic? Another thing I would like to ask are there any feasible plans to support C# 6 in Code Engineering?

Thanks.

[Geert Bellekens]

As it happens I asked support the same question only yesterday.

I'll update this topic when I get an answer.

No update on MDG Integration for Visual Studio 2015, but C# 6 support is in EA 13.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the update.

Regarding to C# 6 support, I tried to generate a model from a simple C# 6 solution using Enterprise Architect Beta 1 and got the parsing errors on the following lines:

Code: [Select]

        private static readonly string url = $"path/v{version}/win-x{(Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem ? "64" : "86")}/{exeFileName}";

Something wrong with support of string interpolation.

Code: [Select]

using static System.Diagnostics.SourceLevels;

Something wrong with support of importing static class.

I'll try to run EA 13 Beta 1 on one of my big .net solutions on Monday to see if I can catch anything else.

Hello All,

"using static" still seems to be an issue and I have not found another work-around (other than change all my classes to not use static).

Am I missing something, has there been an update?

I am using version 13.

Thanks, all the best!

For those looking to synchronize workitems between EA and VS 2015 I have some good news.
I just released a new add-in that uses the TFS REST API to synchronize workitems between TFS and EA

Please let me know if this works for you..

For me I am having trouble with the above connector. The hardcoded "DefaultCollection/" in the path is causing me trouble as our TFS does not seem to use this path.

Hi

Thanks for taking the time to look into the code and send in a pull request.
I'm currently in the middle of something, but I'll try merge your changes later this week.

I just merged the pull request, and updated the project to make it more standard.

The settings now include the default collection, and the settings windows allows you to edit the setting in a user friendly way.

I haven't yet released this version (I plan a new release later this week), but if you update your fork of both the EA Addin Framework as the EA toolpack repositories you should see the updates in the code.

Hi Geert,

I'm using EA-13.0.1310 together with TFS-2015-Express and VS-2015-Community, all running on a Windows-10 (Creators Update) virtual machine.

I was downloading your EA Toolpack from your store at 27/04/2017 (Order #6097) and installed the "Download 1: EA Toolpack setup (from v13.0.1308)". Setup works fine.

But the EA TFS Connector is not able to synchronize with TFS (both directions)! Only showing of websites works fine.

Is there an "old" version within your store? Do you include your changes talking about above into the store version?

[Geert Bellekens]

Hi Thomas,

The version on the website should include the option I mentioned, but there might be another issue preventing it from working in your specific setup and environment.
I wrote this add-in for a specific client in a specific setting and setup, and it works fine for them.

If you want we can work together to figure out what is going wrong and what we can do to fix it, but I can't do that for free (I have to feed my 4 children somehow )
So if you are serious about this and want it to get fixed you can contact me on [email protected] and we can work something out.

Geert
