Well as stated in many web pages removing WebDAVModule does fix the issue, but be sure you add the configuration in the right section! (not in the elmah section) or the fix wont work…


<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
<remove name="WebDAVModule" />
</modules>...


Whats is unit testing? | What is integration testing? | What is a Mock? | What tools I recommend?

The following mind map will help you work with the “branch per release” strategy:

“Your branch distance from trunk is equal to your level of insanity” – anonymous

I’ve connected with a lot of professionals through social networks (for instance twitter and linkedin), I also collaborate in open source projects in sites such as codeplex and github. The tools provided by those networks allow me connect with people as near as home or as far as another continent, keeping track of any interaction, learning and sharing knowledge.

But what happens with real human interaction, putting a face to each of those user names, In-Person networking?

My experience as an Offshore Project Manager at HexaSystems Corporation has shown me that when you can meet these digital connections and at least have a face to face conversation, the trust in the relation increases and therefore is more valuable for you and your business.

So a good approach could be to first establish In-Person connections and continue the relation through online tools. This is where Microsoft WPC helps. An annual conference where Microsoft brings its partners the opportunity to experiment with new technologies, acquire knowledge and make connections between partners and Microsoft staff.

These year WPC offers a new tool called WPC Connect Wall where you can build partner relationships, discover new opportunities to drive innovation, and even search and schedule meetings with the people you are looking for.

So it seems that the best networking is a result of the combination of the “old” In-Person way of establishing connections and the “2.0″ online approach.

Hope it helps!

I currently use Hudson CI for continuos integration therefore I needed to generate Gallio reports in xml format, so I made some simple modifications, specially in how the Gallio task is called:

<Gallio IgnoreFailures=”true” Files=”@(TestFiles)” ReportDirectory=”$(TestResultsDirectory)” ReportTypes=”html;xml”>
<Output TaskParameter=”ExitCode” PropertyName=”ExitCode” />
</Gallio>

You can downlaod the msbuild file here: BuildAndTest

Hope it helps.

So what can you do if you want to set some dynamic settings (i.e Connection String settings)?

First of all you must use the ServiceDefinition.csdef file and add the dynamic settings there.

Next tell your app to read the connection string from that file instead of the config file. To accomplish that task create the following classes:

using System.Linq;

using cfg = System.Configuration;
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime;

namespace Azure.Configuration
{
public class ConfigurationManager
{
private static Settings _settings = new Settings();
public static Settings Settings
{
get
{
return _settings;
}
}

public static ConnectionStrings ConnectionStrings
{
get
{
return new ConnectionStrings();
}
}
}

public class Settings
{
public string this[string key]
{
get
{
if (RoleEnvironment.IsAvailable)
{
return RoleEnvironment.GetConfigurationSettingValue(key);
}
else
{
if (cfg.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.AllKeys.Contains(key))
return cfg.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[key];
}
return string.Empty;
}
}
}

public class ConnectionStrings
{
public string this[string key]
{
get
{
if (RoleEnvironment.IsAvailable)
{
return RoleEnvironment.GetConfigurationSettingValue(key);
}
else
{
if (cfg.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[key] != null)
return cfg.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[key].ConnectionString;
}
return string.Empty;
}
}
}
}

Then you can just call ConfigurationManager.Settings[{key}] to get the vaue for a given key or ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[{connection string name}] to get a connection string.

You’ll need to add a reference to Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime which is included in the Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio

Hope it helps…

So how can you find out what tables are causing the issue? The answer is simple, run the following query and you’ll have the list of tables to fix:

SELECT name
FROM sys.objects
WHERE type = ‘U’
AND object_id NOT IN
(SELECT object_id FROM sys.indexes WHERE index_id = 1)

Hope it helps…
