Dynamic Mapping

It's quick, easy and inexpensive (if you know how). One of the biggest advances over the last few years has been the ability for anybody to gather longitude and latitude information and then plot it onto maps. If you're not already doing it then contact us to find out how you can.

Search Engine Optimization

For most websites, being accessible to Google is probably the most important requirement. The only way that this can be done is to make it carefully thought out and integrated part of your website. If anybody phones up offering to get you to the top of the search engine rankings for a few hundred pounds, don't believe them.

Collaboration Tools

The ability to work on the same documents, build specifications together, build projects together, share ideas and collaborate are essential for modern business. Effective collaboration is at the core of every project that we work on and we use a variety to tools and skill-sets to facilitate this.

Publishing

We have been working with magazine distributors since the earliest days of the Internet to sell British magazines both locally in the UK and around the world. If you're after a fully integrated stock control and automatic ordering system or something as simple as data feed integration then look no further.

International

The World is getting smaller by the day and the ability to work at a desk thousands of miles away is something we've been doing for years. Why let the logistics of getting from A to B get in the way of getting the software solutions you need when everything from meetings to deployment can be done remotely?

Problem retrieving project on Team Foundation Service

I’ve come across a new bug within VS2012 and connecting to TFS today. When trying to get the source of a project which didn’t exist on my machine, I was prompted with this error:

“Multiple identities found matching workspace name ‘XXXX’ and owner name ‘yy@yy.com’. Please specify one of the following workspace specs:”

In the dialog you are given two workspace specs to choose from, both identical, however no option to select. On the workspace dropdown in the toolbar (shown above), there are indeed copies of my workspace ‘BONI’, however clicking on these causes the error to reappear. After these errors appear it also removes the workspace from the dropdown, but you cannot add the workspace again due to the errors which keep popping up. A bit annoying!

Solution

While I’m not sure the cause of this problem, I have had multiple instances of VS2012 open for several weeks.

I found that closing all instances of Visual Studio fixed this problem, and that the project downloaded without complaint once I reopened it.

I have seen someone else fix this problem by changing the computer name, however if you can get around it by reloading Visual Studio, that is clearly a better option.
