Today, when I started visual studio and wanted to Add new Item to an existing project / solution, I found that the Template for Silverlight Child Window was missing from my visual studio 2010 templates.

Thanks to Eric Hammersley who gave the perfect solution. To add missing templates you need to run following command (Elevated!) on visual studio command prompt.

Close all instance of Visual Studio. Open visual studio command prompt and type,

                devenv /installvstemplates

       Press Enter. Let the process be complete and now open visual studio. You will get all missing templates under Visual Studio installed templates.

Have phun!

To get rid of this annoying error, just choose Configure Service Reference and select either Array or follow on of the instructions which are described here. I decided to use the ExtensionMethod way..

As confirmed by one of the Microsoft Product guys, this bug is killed in the final Version of Visual Studio 2010 – which should have been released yesterday .. according to rumors the RTM is detailed..

ObservableCollection missing as Collection Type in WCF since VS 2010 RC

VS2010 RC – WCF ObservableCollection is missing in Service Reference

An explanation or better, a direction I’ve found at Atalasoft Knowledgebase Q10165.

I just changed the Platform target from x86 to Any CPU, recompiled both projects in the solution and since then, i can add a service reference. Who knows why.. you? drop me a mail/comment!

Error Message i got:

System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly ‘file:///D:\Development\WCFTestService.SQL.2010\Media.Manager.SQL.Services.WCF\bin\Debug\Media.Manager.SQL.Services.WCF.exe’ or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

In order to use the "Discover services in solution" functionality, the service projects must be based on one of the WCF project templates.
If you want to alter your existing project(s) so that they will be identified as projects containing WCF service(s), do the following:

• Right-click on the project in the Solution Explorer, and select Unload project
• Right-click the project again (this time the node will end in (unavailable) ) and choose Edit xxxxx.csproj
• In the first <PropertyGroup> section, add the following line:
  <ProjectTypeGuids>{3D9AD99F-2412-4246-B90B-4EAA41C64699};{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}</ProjectTypeGuids>
• Save and close the file
• Reload the project by right-clicking it again and choose Reload.

  You should then be able to use the "Discover services in solution" functionality.

With Visual Studio 2010, you can search for items and install them directly from within Visual Studio’s new Extension Manager. You launch it from the Tools menu:

When the dialog comes up, be sure to explore the various actionable areas on the left and also note the search on the right. For example, i clicked on Online Gallery on the left, in the Textbox in the upper right corner i typed Go To Definition (which is one of my favorite extensions atm) et voila:

Click on Download, restart Studio and you can Ctrl-Click and Variable, type, object to jump to its declaration
