Announcing Visual Studio Achievements Beta
Feb 02, 2012 at 2:11 PMVersion 1.2 (uploaded 2/2/2012) should address the experience where you were able to install the extension and VS notified you that you earned achievements, but then your profile was never updated on Channel9.There's no reason to upgrade to this build otherwise. We believe many people reporting issues with proxies will be fixed by this build.
In specific, some proxies were sending a Expect: 100-Continue header from the HttpWebRequest class, which the server wasn't prepared to handle. The fix was to set the static System.Net.ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue property to false.
Also, when you upgrade your extension, if you get a certificate mismatch error, install this hotfix: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=38654, which will address updating this extension and any other extensions. If you don't want to install the hot fix, you can manually uninstall the extension and then reinstall with the new version.If you are still having issues with your proxy server and this build doesn't solve your problems, please post here and we will continue to investigate the proxy problem.

Announcing Visual Studio Achievements Beta
Jan 24, 2012 at 12:20 PMWe just released version 1.1 of the Visual Studio Achievements Extension which addresses the issue of users with an underscore in their Channel9 username. If your username doesn't have an underscore, there is no need to upgrade.
If you installed version 1.0 of the extension and registered with a username that had an underscore, you will need to take the following steps.
1. Go to Tools --> Extension Manager...
2. Click Updates and update the Visual Studio Achievements Extension
3. Restart Visual Studio
4. Go to Tools --> Options --> VS Achievements and click the Change User button
5. Log in and authorize the app
Follow these steps in this exact order and you should be good to go!
FxCop For VS Achievements
Jan 23, 2012 at 4:32 PMNote that it must be FxCop 10.0. So if you installed FxCop 1.36 which comes with Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Version 7.0, it won't work. It must be the FxCop that comes with Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 Version 7.1.
Additionally, if you install FxCop 10.0 somewhere other than the default location ("Program Files"), the extension won't find it. We've logged this as a bug which we will address in a future release of the extension.
