"the handle is invalid" error with VSTS and TFS

We’ve struck this error trying to check-in a file in Visual Studio Team System. You get a very helpful dialog that says “The handle is invalid”.

Turns out this is a bug that has been fixed post-Beta3, and bites you when two people have checked out an item. The workaround is to use the Get Latest Version menu-item, merge changes then you should be ok.

Jeff Beehler to Visit Australia March

Jeff is involved in the Team Foundation Server product from Microsoft. His Blog is one I keep an eye on for the latest updates in TFS.

I’ve asked Chuck if there’s any way to get him to visit Adelaide on his Australian visit.
