I was trying to update my main app code to utilize the .Net Framework 4.0 and this happened:
The Problem: I could find no obvious way to update the mscorlib reference in my solution, so I decide to simply delete it and add it again, and hope that it magically updates to the most recent version. This is actually what usually happens with Visual Studio. However, I delete the mscorlib reference, and I am unable to add it back again, I get the error message telling me that mscorlib is already included in the project.

The Problem: You try to access your web service on IIS 7 and you get the following error
The service cannot be activated because it requires ASP.NET compatibility. ASP.NET compatibility is not enabled for this application. Either enable ASP.NET compatibility in web.config or set the AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsAttribute.AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode property to a value other than Required.

The Problem: You want to make your website all SEO friendly by creating a single, canonical url. For example, if someone types in http://www.stronico.com, you want them to be redirected to http://stronico.com (Google likes it this way). You do some research and discover that all of the default code and documentation for handling canonical Urls in IIS 7 uses web.config files and the URL Rewrite application program. All is well and good so far, but what if you use SSL? The stock code will always redirect you to http://stronico.com/Signup/ even if the original url was https://stronico.com/Signup/ (note the https).

The Problem: All email that you send get’s bounced back with the following message:
Subject Line: Delivery Status Notification (Failure)
Message: Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
user@domain.com
Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 #5.1.0 Address rejected user@domain.com (state 14).
The Cause: There is no “mail.domain.com” in the dns system. In my case I was sending the mail via an alias (it was a notification email from the web server). The receiving mail server sees the email as forged and bounces it.

The Problem: You make changes to your Silverlight Application, but you do not see it reflected when you debug or run the solution.
The Cause: While the web project portion of the solution is being compiled and run, the Silverlight project is not being built. This just happened to me recently. Visual Studio crashed and somehow the Silverlight project portion of the solution decided to remove itself from the build list.
