Microsoft-Windows-IIS-W3SVC-WP Event id 2294

Microsoft-Windows-IIS-W3SVC-WP Event id 2294 - Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2

Just ran into this mysterious error when trying to deploy a WCF project to IIS.

The description for Event ID 2294 from source Microsoft-Windows-IIS-W3SVC-WP cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

v4.0.20506"

It turns out that after installing Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 there were some of the old framework files floating around.

To solve this go to %windir%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\

and delete the directory named v4.0.20506

Restart your Application Pool and you should be good to go.

ASP.NET MVC Release Candidate - Upgrade issues - Spec#

First of all, great news that the ASP.NET MVC Release Candidate has finally been released. Full credit to the team for the hard work on this. You can get the download here However this is the first time I have had upgrade issues. Phil Haack has noted some of the issues here If like me you have lot's of CTP's and Add-Ins then you might experience some pain in Uninstalling MVC Beta on Vista SP1 This is the list of Add-Ins / CTP's I had to uninstall to get it to work Spec# PEX Resharper 4.1 Sourcelinks ANTS Profiler 4 Can't say I'm too impressed as it wasted over an hour of my time. As it turned out Spec# turned out to be the offending culprit, it's forgiveable to have issues with a third party product but a Microsoft one? Guess no-one on the ASP.NET team has Spec# installed.

Freeing Disk Space on C:\ Windows Server 2008

I just spent the last little while trying to clear space on our servers in order to install .NET 4.5 . Decided to post so my future self can find the information when I next have to do this. I performed all the usual tasks: Deleting any files/folders from C:\windows\temp and C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Local\Temp Delete all EventViewer logs Save to another Disk if you want to keep them Remove any unused programs, e.g. Firefox Remove anything in C:\inetpub\logs Remove any file/folders C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles Remove any file/folders from C:\Users\%UserName%\Downloads Remove any file/folders able to be removed from C:\Users\%UserName%\Desktop Remove any file/folders able to be removed from C:\Users\%UserName%\My Documents Stop Windows Update service and remove all files/folders from C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution Deleting an Event Logs Run COMPCLN.exe Move the Virtual Memory file to another disk However this wasn’t enough & I found the most space was

Consuming the SSRS ReportExecutionService from a .NET Client

I’ve just finished writing a nice wrapper which internally calls the SSRS ReportExecutionService to generate reports. Whilst it was fairly simple to implement there has been some major changes between 2005 and 2008 and the majority of online and documentation is based on the 2005 implementation. The most important change is that the Report Server and Report Manager are no longer hosted in IIS which will be a welcomed change to Sys Admins but makes the security model and hosting model vastly different. So far I’ve yet to figure out how to allow Anonymous Access, if anyone knows how to do this leave a comment and it will be most appreciated. Getting Started To get started you’ll want to add a service reference to http://localhost/ReportServer_SQL2008/ReportExecution2005.asmx where ReportServer_SQL2008 is the name you configure in the Reporting Services Configuration Manager. The Web Application files are located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.SQL2008\R
