Delete a work Item in TFS

I needed to delete a work item in TFS and found that by design it is not easy to do.

I found that this can be done using the TFS Power Tools via the command line.

tfpt.exe destroywi /server:http://ServerName:8080 /workitemid:123

You will get a warning:

This action is not recoverable. Are you sure you want to destroy work item(s)123? (Y/N)

Work item is gone.

I recently did the upgrade to Snow Leopard on my MBP. To my dismay, Quicksilver no longer worked. It terminated immediately after launch.

I found the the Beta 56a7 on here.

I also had to remove Plugins.plist and the Plugins folder from ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver.

I am ecstatic to report that Quicksilver is up and running again, and my Mac is happy.

I recently upgraded to MonoDevelop 2.2 Beta 2 (for the debugging capability, more on that later) on my Mac.

When I opened a Moonlight solution and tried to run it, I got the following error:

Could not find respack

The project had lost its references to System.Windows and System.Windows.Browser.

The cause turned out to be that when you upgrade MonoDevelop, it doesn’t always update where it’s pointing.

The solution was to go to:

/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions

and delete all directories except the one for the current version of MonoDevelop, in my case, 2.4.2.3
