(SOLVED) Visual Studio 2010 user interface is unresponsive

17. January 2010

The Visual Studio 2010 user interface has a tendency to become unresponsive at times. I discovered VS2010 has a configuration option that you can adjust to help with this problem.

VS2010_UI

You can uncheck the ‘Automatically adjust visual experience based on client performance’ checkbox @ Tools > options > Environment > General. This seems to have made a difference and VS2010 doesn’t lock-up as much.

(Solved) – Silverlight/WCF Service in WebSite throws Could not load file or assembly 'xxx' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified

17. January 2010

Instead of creating a separate application that hosted a WCF service used by a Silverlight 3.0 application within a asp.net website I just added the service to the parent web site. Over time the service would throw this error. It would seem that having a WCF service in a silverlight asp.net website that doesn’t use RIA has all sorts of compile problems. To work around this problem I removed the WCF service from the parent application and moved it to it’s WCF project and update the Silverlight application to make a call from a separate URL.

(SOLVED) IIS 7.0 – Object moved 302 error

17. January 2010

Came across this and wanted to blog it. If you are using SSL in a IIS 7.0 website and you update the SSL cert you will receive this error when IIS 7.0 attempts to redirect from http to https. Check the SSL certificate assignment for the website. Most likely it won’t have one.
