Troubleshooting
- Changing from NET2.0 (VS2005) to NET3.5 (VS2008) can leave hidden old references in your project
- Switching Visual WebGui versions (6.4 downto 6.3) can cause problems for controls with Images
- To many changes to files on application folder makes IIS restart the application domain
- Disabling/Enabling many controls takes 4 times longer in IE than in other browsers
- Pre 6.4.0 Preview3 - Designer problems in Multi-Project solutions regarding images (the fixing issue)
- Blank screen running Visual WebGui applications can mean your port is in use - change port
- Using underscore character in domain name in ASP.NET can give you problems, especially for subdomains
- Blank screen when clients use proxy server
- Visual Studio HintPath - various errors, especially runtime
- Could not resolve skin resource of type 'ImageResource'
- Unable to debug on webserver using VS2010 - register ASP.NET 4.0
- Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) creates a large number of script blocks when run in debug mode in Visual Studio (msdn blog entry and another blog here)
- IE6 unable to communicate with server if more than two simultaneous requests are sent from the same client to the same server (MaxConnectionsPerServer)
- "GenerateResource task failed unexpectedly" on builds, can mean a corrupt .resx file
- "control not marked as serializable" on build can mean assembly version mismatch in references inside project file
