Develop Reference

Service reference not defined

I have added a wcf service (SifService) reference to my Kentico web application in VS. I didn't select any of the advanced options. I just provided the wsdl address, provide a namespace (SifService) and click OK. The service reference seems to have added successfully. However, when I attempt to create an instance of the client like in the code below, VS says the type or namespace "SifService" could not be found. We have just recently upgraded from Kentico 8 to Kentico 9. The same exact code works fine in the Kentico 8 code branch. The issue only appears in the Kentico 9 branch.
var sifClient = new SifService.SifClient();
When I attempt to run the site in VS, I get this error in the browser:

NOTE: Everything runs fine until I add the service reference to SifService.

Sometimes it's an error of visual studio, clean the solution, build, so close the visual studio and build again, for me it worked a few times!

Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell, Version=2.0.0.0

I installed the 4.5.2 framework onto my R2 dev server last week, and have been getting this error, ever since. The files contain no reference to VisualStudio.Shell. Any ideas?

So I spent about 2 days trying to figure out what the heck was going...
The way I was able to fix it is by adding Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell to
C:\Windows\assembly
But the only way to do that is using gacutil.
gacutil -i Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.dll
That fixed it for me. Hopefully it helps someone with the same problem.

Pls help me to resolved this error...

This means that somewhere in your projects and/or web.config(s) you have a reference to this horribly old assembly (I think it is 8 or so years old). Remove it and migrate to the modern AJAX suite.

How to Resolve Server Error in '/' Application (Configuration Error)

My web application was working perfectly minutes ago now I get this error when I run it.
How can I solve this issue since its not even part of my project files?
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Mobile, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The handle is invalid.

I probably should have done this before posting the question.
I saved my work then restarted Visual Studio.

It worked for me as well after restarting visual studio.

Problems upgrading MVC Mini Profiler to latest release

I've been using Mini Profiler in dev and production (azure) for a while and LOVE it.
It tried to upgrade to the latest release today via NUGET. The DLL get's placed in the bin but my site gets an error. If I go back to the old dll it works fine. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Be sure to read the documentation on http://code.google.com/p/mvc-mini-profiler/
In particular:
Ensure you remove all the modifications you made to web.config.
If you are profiling Entity Framework grab the MiniProfiler.EF package
If you are running latest EF see: Problem using SQL Server CE with Entity Framework code-first and ASP.NET MVC 3 and mvc miniprofiler
There is not MiniProfiler version 2.0.4177.17902 so I really do not know where it is coming from.
