Visual Studio: Change the default check-in action to associate

By default when you check-in some code in Visual Studio and choose a related work item, the work item will be resolved. Depending on the TFS template you’re using this will change the work item state. Most of the time it means that the work item state will be changed to Done/Completed/… . This is nice if you only want to check-in once when your work item is really done. But if you are like me, and you like to check-in on a regular basis, than this is annoying as you have to change the check-in option to associate instead of resolve every time:

To fix this, you have 2 options; either update the Work Item template or even better change the following registry key and set ResolveAsDefaultCheckinAction = False.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\TeamFoundation\SourceControl\Behavior

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
