When trying to deploy my WCF service. I was getting the error “Unrecognized attribute ‘targetFramework’. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive” on an ASP .NET 4.0 website. I first thought that this was happening because .NET 4 was not on the server, but even after installing .NET 4 the problem persisted. The error was caused by the application pool targeting the wrong .net framework. To resolve the problem : Change the application pool to the correct .net framework and the error will be resolved.

I found this nice post on some of the ways you can use jsFiddle. It is a great read and gives lots of great ideas. jsFiddle Tips and Tricks Enjoy.

jsFiddle is a playground for web developers, a tool which may be used in many ways. You can use it as an online editor for snippets build from HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Share your Fiddle. Embedded on a blog, tweet URL to edit or result page. Using this approach, JavaScript developers can very easily isolate bugs. Many actively developed frameworks are supported – it helps with testing backward compatibility of your plugins. Your code may be shared from GitHub and displayed as new Fiddle. Draft functionality provides an ability to test your Fiddle in many devices or browsers. To go to the site and take a look just click here.

This has taken me all day to figure out and the errors that i have been getting back all suggested that there was a connection problem to the server. As it turns out you need to add a reference to your dabase connection in the model context file, it was so simple in the end it was stupid, but it is amazing how hard it was to find the answer. as long as this matches what is in your web.config file connection to the database should be made.below is a link to the webpage that sorted things for me.how-to-connect-to-sql-server-2008-r2-using-ef-and-mvc-3

Interestingly I have found that all you need to add your Gist entry is a Github account, there is no need to setup a repository and install the Github GUI if all you want to do is post code snippets. Once you have a Github account you can log into the Github Gist website and create all the gists you want. Very easy and a nice way to post well formatted code samples with no additional tweeking.

Numeric suffixes, which are also called literal number suffixes, are hints to the compiler that a literal number is of a certain type. Recall that “literal” means a value hard-coded into your program. Investigation revealed that literal suffixes on constants actually generate conv instructions. This means they work the same as runtime casts. https://gist.github.com/1922826

I have just been playing around with Scaffolding for MVC3 and i am very impressed. It certainly makes it a lot easier to quickly develop applications, and using the code first approach with Entity Frameworks works very well. I have found a post on Steve Sanderson’s blog which outlines the process step by step, it is really well done and a great reference. Scaffold your ASP.NET MVC 3 project with the MvcScaffolding package

Here is sample code that shows all the processes running on a machine and how you would iterate through them to shut them down.
