Error Installing SQL 2008 Business Intelligence Studio and Related Package Load Error in VS2008
It’s been a while since I last blogged. I’ve become a forum moderator, an All-Star and also completed my final exams for my bachelor’s degree since then. Now that I have a little more time, I hope to contribute more often.

Assigning Port Numbers for the Dev Server
A lot of times, specially when using web services, we want the dev server to use a specific port. Suppose you have a web service and a website which consumes it. You put them in two separate projects. You’d want the web service to always use the same port. One option is to set it up in IIS. But what if you don’t want to use IIS? What if your putting together a simple test and wish to use the dev server? How do we do that?

FTP Woes and....FireFTP to the Rescue!!
I'm running Vista x64 sp1. I've had IE 7 and then IE 8 (b2) installed. I tried uploading via ftp from a)Windows Explorer, b)Visual Studio ftp, c)FireZilla, d)SmartFTP. Small files uploaded perfectly but even 150KB files kept timing out and retrying. Active/passive didn't help. Nothing helped. I tried for 28 hours to upload a 340KB file. It was infuriating. I tried from another ISP's connection. I tried from XP. Nothing worked. God knows why. I contacted tech support, they said it was a problem on my ISP and that my connection was poor. While I agree a 100kbps upload isn't good at all, I do expect to upload 100KB in a few minutes and not failing for hours. I can't be too sure about their response as people using my ISP DO upload via ftp. I sent my files to a friend in the US and he graciously uploaded for me. He mentioned it was slow. And then I needed changes on my site. Enter frustration.

.Net 3.5 SP1...finally
Fate has a weird sense of humour. I held out from installing .net 3.5 sp1 all through the CTPs, then beta 1 and beta 2. This is also the first time I restrained myself from installing new stuff (coz simply put, having to uninstall a bunch of betas and patches and what not was getting to me). Well, I couldn't hold out any longer. I downloaded the entire thing. My internet is pretty crap, so I had to download the packages individually, then run a command line switch to download the final files. After that, was a quite long install. It failed. I removed silverlight tools. Tried again. Worked perfectly. I played around for a few hours. Made a few apps. Liked the new stuff quite a bit. And then, at 4 am, I went to bed.
