Cannot load reference assembly Error 13 .NET 4.0 SvcUtil

Just ran into this nice error while trying to generate a proxy using the SvcUtil and /reference option in a .NET 4.0 Project.

Error    13    Cannot load reference assembly 'C:\MySource\bin\Debug\MyReference.dll'   

The solution makes total sense as the current version of SvcUtil is for .NET 3.5 only.

You can get around this by changing your path to:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\svcutil.exe

Alternatively you can download the latest Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4

And then change the SvcUtil path to:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\svcutil.exe

Hope this helps someone.

Freeing Disk Space on C:\ Windows Server 2008

By Will Beattie

CPF Contribution Rates for new Singapore Permanent Residents (SPR’s)

By Will Beattie
Recently my wife and I applied and got approved for Singapore Permanent Residency. After completing the formalities the most significant immediate change is the contribution to CPF which is Singapore’s mandatory social security savings scheme requiring contributions from employers and employees. CPF contributions start from the date you obtain SPR status, which is the date of the entry permit.   Being a relentless budgeter I needed to know exactly how much I and my employer would have to contribute so that I could adjust my budget accordingly as the employee contributions get deducted from the monthly salary. After doing some research I discovered that there is a “graduated” approach to CPF contributions for new SPR’s where the contributions gradually increase in the first and second year and then upon reaching the third year are at the full amount. Note: There is an option for employers to contribute the full amount for year 1 and year 2 and the employee can use the graduated rate, b…

Populating Duplicate Fields with DocuSign's REST API

By Will Beattie
If you're using DocuSign's REST API for integrating e-Signing into your application then it's possible you'll come up against the issue of duplicate fields not populating. This is when you have the same field with the same label e.g. Company Name in multiple places on the Document but you only want to send a single label, value instance to the API and have it populate in all places where the field is.

When you pass the label and value like so:

{ label: "company_name", value: "Blogger.com" }
If you have the field company_name more than once in the document then only the first field will be populated.

After a lot of digging into the DocuSign documentation I discovered the solution is to append "\\*" to the label name:

{ label: "\\*company_name", value: "Blogger.com" }
Why this isn't the default behaviour is beyond me but the solution works as expected.
