Red Gate Acquires .NET Reflector

While going through my RSS feeds I came across the above news item. I use Reflector all the time and just wish it stays free.

An agreement between Red Gate and Lutz Roeder will place future development of .NET Reflector, the popular class browser for .NET developers, in the hands of Red Gate. Red Gate is maintaining a free version of the software for downloading at http://reflector.red-gate.com.

Empty Design View in Visual Studio 2008 for User controls

Just a tip, if you are facing this issue, there's a fix for it

Though I didn't have any style tags in my User control but I'm using Ajax Validator Callouts in my application that insert style information into the head tag at runtime so I moved the following at the end of my user control markup and it worked.

<head id="Head1" runat="server"></head>

Error ''This collection already contains an address with scheme http. There can be at most one address per scheme in this collection."' when deploying AJAX-enabled WCF Services

This error bugged for me a while before I found out not one but two solutions.

I prefer the first approach because I use baseAddresses[0] in the Custom Host Factory and that it doesn't require me to have two web.config files as in the 2nd approach.
