ASP.NET 2.0 – Mutex cannot create and Weird web outputs
If you face 2 scenarios as below:
1st scenario:
When you run your web application and you find out that you have an error Mutex cannot create error (InvalidException something like that), what should you do?
2nd scenario:
When you create a new web application project in Visual Studio 2005, then you drag 2 controls (button and textbox) into your web form. Later you try to run it and you cannot see any controls on your web form, what should you do?
Very simple. I learned something today while helping to fix my colleague’s development machine. Do this:
a) Close your Visual Studio 2005 IDE.
b) Go to this folder C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files
c) Delete all the files within that directory
d) Then reset your IIS by typing this in the Start à Run “iisreset”
e) Try running your web project inside Visual Studio 2005 IDE and rebuild that project
Trust me it will work J have fun.
