When I did a quick search online, I found some keyboard shortcuts for Visual Studio 2008 that didn’t work for me, so thought I would get a post going.

Here is an example of code to get stripped down contact and account forms. This code is placed in the onLoad event of the respective forms. Note: this is not supported, but a common way to hide left navigation links on specific entities (since normal site map customization does not affect these).

We had an issue where BAM stopped working after installing SOA Suite on a Windows 2003 Server (BAM only runs on Windows at the time of this writing).
After trying to uninstall/reinstall many times ourselves, Oracle Support suggested that this was not a compatible configuration. We have done it before (in play environments), but this clearly can cause some issues that are not easy to resolve. So, in this case, we ended up splitting the installation to different machines and have been sleeping much better at night.

Did your personal IIS stop working recently — the one you run on XP perhaps? Did you get the following error in your event logs?
Event Type: Error
Event Source: W3SVC
Event Category: None
Event ID: 115
Date: 4/23/2006
Time: 12:28:08 PM
User: N/A
Computer: F4005
Description:
The service could not bind instance 1. The data is the error code.
For additional information specific to this message please visit the Microsoft Online Support site located at:
http://www.microsoft.com/contentredirect.asp.
This error is normally the result of another application/service on your machine listening on network Port 80.
But you’re sure you don’t have any other web servers, etc. running, right? This can be frustrating to troubleshoot. So, before you uninstall everything one by one, be sure to check Skype. As Skype gains popularity, my guess is more and more people will be getting this error and scratching their heads.
To stop the error from occurring in IIS, go to “Tools”, then “Options…” in your Skype applications. In the “Connection” section, be sure to UNCHECK “Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections”.
Click “Save” and restart Skype. Restart IIS. You should be good to go.
I hope this helps someone!

RDL and RDLC conversion is something that people who use both Reporting Services and ReportViewer have already done. For those of you who have not looked at these technologies, you really need to. Taking reports written for a full-featured reporting engine like SSRS and instead integrating that into a custom application (which does NOT require SSRS, let alone SQL Server) has huge market value along with technical value.
Following is a good lesson on RDL to RDLC conversion as well as RDLC to RDL conversion:
RDL and RDLC Conversion
Note: of course, if you have any issues with this or other ReportViewer and/or SSRS issues, feel free to engage us as we have been through many of the challenges.

This assumes Outlook 2003, Windows XP Professional, and a default configuration.
Email Messages
If everything is stored in Exchange Server, then just configuring your Exchange profile should bring down all mail from the server.
If you are using local email storage, you will want to move your .pst file(s) to the new machine.

Rules
Export rules from within Outlook (click “Options” button in the rules configuration area). You will save them onto your harddrive as [something].rwz. Import these rules to the new machine.
