Your One-Stop Shop for Team System Architecture

  • Artigo

Visual Studio's Team System for Architects piece is great stuff.  As the first deliverable of Microsoft's Dynamic Systems Initiative, it lets architects visualize and validate their distributed architectures.  At its core are 3 types of diagrams:

Application Diagrams describe your distributed system's architecture at a high level (including communication interfaces, right down to the WSDL if you're so inclined).

Logical Datacenter Diagrams describe systems of interconnected logical servers that represent the logical structure of a datacenter.

Deployment Diagrams map Application Diagrams onto Logical Datacenter Diagrams, visualizing and validating how your architecture will deploy into a datacenter.

Bill Gibson is a member of the Team Architect crew who has been posting a series of interesting articles about Visual Studio Team Architect, such as this article on top-down design using the tools, and another (which I have been curious about) on Application Designer's support for web services defined on interfaces.

(I also love his take on the "Devarchitect" persona, which is certainly the role I played in my pre-Microsoft project.  I'd say a lot of dev leads in smallish teams wear this particular hat.)

Another great resource for Team Architect is this How Do I in Team Edition for Architects page on MSDN.

    Sorry to post this so inappropriate, but there's no way for me to file on MSDN, but as an ex-MS Beta Tester i feel compelled to report a bug to MS.

    Product is Vista October CTP Build (and every previous build) both 32 and 64 bit. MSDN Copy, legit.

    Upon booting after a successful installation, with multiple media and different destination drives, on two completely seperate hardware sets (different EVERYTHING), i get an error notifying me that Explorer has closed (unknown application error 0xc00000fd at 0x76ea7434) always the same hex addresses on every instance of the message. eventvwr states that it is an error in shlwapi.dll. I have to have installed six times on three different builds, all the same problem. I don't expect a response on this, but i did want to report it. There are others having this problem but it seems rare, and i didn't want it to be skipped. My old beta ID was 325458. Could you please forward this to the appropriate person? If they require more info, they may contact me at my e-mail address below.

    Thank you,

    Ref the Vista bug - why not use the big blue "report a bug" icon on the desktop ;-)
