Within my SharePoint 2010 environment, I have created my own Managed Metadata Service including a specific term hierarchy. After doing so, I wanted to use these terms as a managed metadata column in a custom list. I was able to create new list items leaving the newly created metadata field empty. But, as soon as I started typing in the metadata field, the system prompted me with appropriate synonyms of the matching terms. However, when I tried to save the new item, I got an error message saying “Access Denied”. ...

For all you Java developers out there, have a look at this link in order to learn more about C# and the .NET framework.

I am totally excited about my new home entertainment system. It uses a standard digital satellite dish along with an external FireDTV (Digital Everywhere) digital TV receiver connected to my more or less frumpy desktop PC. The computer runs Windows 7 RC with Media Center configured to use the satellite box. My living room is equipped with a Xbox 360 connected to the TV. The Xbox 360 and my desktop PC talk to each other via powerline AV ethernet connection (since I totally forgot to put a system of conduits in my home). ...

… or rather: good things come to those who wait. Yesterday, I planned to install Visual Studio 2008 on a Vista machine. Sounds like not much of a challenge, but the problem was that I previously installed VS 2008 Beta2. I knew that there might be things to consider, so I followed Scott Guthrie’s blog post where he describes all necessary steps to uninstall VS 2008 Beta2 before installing the VS 2008 Final Release. During uninstall everything went just fine. So, I started VS 2008 setup. It first installed .NET Framework 3.5 which seemed to be okay. But then suddenly the setup stopped without any reason or error message. ...

I just found a solution to the issue in the subject. I had the problem a while ago and the only resolution was to re-install my machine. Today I had the same issue again after installing (what I figured out) an UMTS software on my machine. ASP.NET and IIS worked just fine before, but after installing the UMTS software this morning I had the same problems again. I googled and fortunately found this post. The resolution is just to run the little application attached. This will remove the bmnet.dll installed and will fix settings within the windows socket layer. It worked for me.

One thing that quite frequently happened to me: I worked with MS SQL Server Reporting Services for quite a while, due to some reason (that I cannot assign right now) while accessing the ReportManager I get the following error message “Failed to decrypt symmetric key”. The suggestion now is to run RsKeyMgmt to delete all encrypted content and to run RsConfig to re-generate a new key. However, when running RsKeyMgmt on my machine running a German version of Windows XP I get the following: After I type in J and click on ENTER nothing happens. It just doesn’t do anything. I googled for solutions but just couldn’t find anything. The only way to get RS back to work was to reinstall it. This happened quite a few times to me until I found this post (original link: https://www.developmentnow.com/g/115_2005_1_0_0_454625/rskeymgmt-gives-no-response.htm) from Brian Welcker. So, the simple solution to this is to type in Y instead.
