TFSPreview.com and Azure continuous deployment for multiple solutions in TFS

Question

I recently tried out Microsoft\'s TFS-in-the-cloud service (TFSPreview.com) and felt the TFS team finally \'gets it\'. TFSPreview.com might switch us from GIT+bug tracker+powers

Answer 1

Here is a possible workaround that will make you feel like bathing.

Root
\--Solution2
   \--ProjectC

Root-Branch
\--Solution2
   \--ProjectC
\--Solution1
   \--ProjectA
   \--ProjectB

• Only the main branch (Root) appears to be deployed on check-in.
• Merge to Root when you want to deploy.
• Never merge Solution1 back to Root.

Answer 2

This is something that has actually been discussed via the online forums at the TFS Deployment to Windows Azure forums.

Specifically, a MS representative has indicated that this is currently not supported (see Continuous deployment with multiple cloud projects in solution), but is something that they need to provide a solution for.
