You can use any valid GUID. It is only used to allow you to identify the binding later.

I used the Application GUID for my WCF service that is located within the AsseblyInfo.vb (VB.NET) or AssemblyInfo.cs (C#) file of my hosting application (Windows Service) as show below:

    &lt;Assembly: Guid(&quot;8fbacae2-bd4e-8ef5-b202-1561845dd04f&quot;)&gt; 

I used this as the appid parameter for the netsh.exe tool like so:

    appid={8fbacae2-bd4e-8ef5-b202-1561845dd04f}

It worked perfectly and my WCF service uses Https via that SSL cert.

If you bind a cert using the IIS GUI (inetmgr.exe), then perform &#39;netsh http show sslcert&#39;, you&#39;ll see the AppID of {4dc3e181-e14b-4a21-b022-59fc669b0914}, which is the AppID IIS uses, so it&#39;s the appid I use, too.

&quot;It always says Invalid Argument …&quot;

try `appid=&quot;{7E46BD40-39C6-4813-B414-019AD1122333}&quot;`

with quotes.

(Sorry, not direct answer to this question, but this is often first google hit, and a lot of people seem to have this problem.

I [added a new ADO.Net Entity Data Model][1] into my project and used the [Update Wizard][2] to add tables into the model.  Five of the selected tables were added to the design surface.  Two other tables will not add.  I select them in the wizard and click Finish, yet they never show up on the design surface.

Is this a bug, or are there some situations where a table cannot be added to the model (by design)?

Today we have built a console application for running the scheduled tasks for our ASP.NET website. But I think this approach is a bit error prone and difficult to maintain. How do you execute your scheduled task (in an windows/IIS/ASP.NET environment)

Update: 

Examples of tasks:

- Sending email from an email-queue in the database
- Removing outdated objects from the database
- Retrieving stats from Google AdWords and fill a table in the database.

When importing a project into eclipse, it somehow started creating recursive versions of the directory. 

Now, when I try to delete anything, I get the message &quot; the file name you specify is too long.&quot;

I can&#39;t delete it from the command shell. I can&#39;t delete it from explorer. I can&#39;t do ANYTHING with it. I have no idea how many copies of it Eclipse created. Eclipse was running for like a minute before I realized something was wrong and I cancelled the operation. 

I can get the properties of the top level folder, and it says it contains 497 folders. 

Question 1: how can I delete all this stuff in Windows? 

Question 2: What the hell was eclipse thinking? 





How to delete a long path in windows.

I&#39;m in the situation where I&#39;ve installed the JDK, but I can&#39;t run applets in browsers (I may not have installed the JRE).

However, when I install the JRE, it clobbers my JDK as the default runtime.  This breaks pretty much everything (Eclipse, Ant) - as they require a server JVM.

There&#39;s no `JAVA_HOME` environment variable these days - it just seems to use some registry magic (setting the system path is of no use either).  Previously, I&#39;ve just uninstalled the JRE after I&#39;ve used it to restore the JDK.  This time I want to fix it properly.

This also manifests itself with the jre autoupdater - once upon a time, I had a working setup with the JDK and JRE, but it updated and bust everything.

How do I set the default Java installation/runtime (Windows)?

I found it is hard to keep my environment variables sync on different machines. I just want to export the settings from one computer and import to other ones.

Can I do the following?

	[OperationContract]
	[WebGet(UriTemplate = &quot;/foo/{id}&quot;)]
	string GetFoo(int id);

I&#39;d like my service to function as both RESTful service and RPC-style SOAP service.
If possible I&#39;d like to retain int as int, and not do parsing by hand.

In wcf, what is the difference between applying the `DataMember` attribute on a property  
    
    private int m_SomeValue;
    
    [DataMember]  
    public int SomeValue {
      get {...}
      set {...}
    }
instead of a member variable  
    
    [DataMember]  
    private int m_SomeValue;
    
    public int SomeValue {
      get {...}
      set {...}
    }
?


WCF: DataMember attribute on property vs. member

I built a web application containing a WCF service contract and a Silverlight control which makes calls to that WCF service. On my development and test servers it works great. 

When I deploy to our live server and run the application I get an exception of type `System.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException` which states that the service can not be activated due to an exception during compilation.  The exception is:

&gt; This collection already contains an address with scheme http. There can be at most one address per scheme in this collection.

I read that this exception may be thrown if the web site has more than one host header, which is true on our live server.  Apparently WCF services hosted in IIS can have only one base address.  How can I get around this issue?

WCF service startup error &quot;This collection already contains an address with scheme http&quot;

I&#39;ve got a Client/Server wcf application

My executable doesn&#39;t define any `ServiceContract`, it doesn&#39;t even have a reference to `System.ServiceModel` (*but instead has a reference to an assembly which contains the connection logic to the server*)

I&#39;ve another assembly, which is referenced by my EXE, which contains a `ServiceContract`.

It used to work fine. Yesterday, I&#39;ve played a lot with my project settings (*partial trust, full trust, deployment settings, and so on*) and now, each and every time I launch my client, I&#39;ve got the following message box :

&gt; Microsoft WCF Service Host&lt;br/&gt;
 The target assembly contains no service types.&lt;br/&gt;
 You may need to adjust the Code Access Security policy of this assembly. 

Then VS freezes for 1 minute, and eventually lets me debug my program as usual.

I&#39;ve found [a post on this problem][1], but the solution doesn&#39;t apply in my situation.
Any ideas?

There are a few ways to include jQuery and jQuery UI and I&#39;m wondering what people are using?

 - Google JSAPI
 - jQuery&#39;s site
 - your own site/server
 - another CDN

I have recently been using Google JSAPI, but have found that it takes a long time to setup an SSL connection or even only to resolve google.com. I have been using the following for Google:

    &lt;script src=&quot;https://www.google.com/jsapi&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
    &lt;script&gt;
    google.load(&#39;jquery&#39;, &#39;1.3.1&#39;);
    &lt;/script&gt;

I like the idea of using Google so it&#39;s cached when visiting other sites and to save bandwidth from our server, but if it keeps being the slow portion of the site, I may change the include.

What do you use? Have you had any issues?

**Edit:** Just visited jQuery&#39;s site and they use the following method:

    &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

**Edit2:** Here&#39;s how I&#39;ve been including jQuery without any problems for the last year:

    &lt;script src=&quot;//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.3/jquery.min.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

The difference is the removal of `http:`. By removing this, you don&#39;t need to worry about switching between http and https.

Where do you include the jQuery library from? Google JSAPI? CDN?

I know there&#39;s no single hard-and-fast answer, but is there a generic &lt;strike&gt;order-of-magnitude estimate&lt;/strike&gt; approximation for the encryption overhead of SSL versus unencrypted socket communication? I&#39;m talking only about the comm processing and wire time, not counting application-level processing.

**Update**

There is [a question about HTTPS versus HTTP][1], but I&#39;m interested in looking lower in the stack.

(I replaced the phrase &quot;order of magnitude&quot; to avoid confusion; I was using it as informal jargon rather than in the formal CompSci sense. Of course if I *had* meant it formally, as a true geek I would have been thinking binary rather than decimal! ;-)

**Update**

Per request in comment, assume we&#39;re talking about good-sized messages (range of 1k-10k) over persistent connections. So connection set-up and packet overhead are not significant issues.

How much overhead does SSL impose?

I&#39;m in the process of creating a CSR, and I wonder which is arguably the best length for my RSA key.

Of course, 384 is probably too weak, and 16384 is probably too slow.

**Is there a consensus on the key length one should use, depending on the certificate lifetime?**

Edit : 
Like most people, I want my key to be reasonably strong. I&#39;m not concerned that the NSA could maybe break my key in 2019. I just want to know what&#39;s the best practice when one plan to do normal business (for example an e-commerce site)


What RSA key length should I use for my SSL certificates?

Can you advise me whether it is possible or not to assign a SSL Certificate to a website in IIS7 using the APPCMD application?

I am familiar with the command to set the HTTPS Binding

    appcmd set site /site.name:&quot;A Site&quot; /+bindings.[protocol=&#39;https&#39;,bindingInformation=&#39;*:443:www.mysite.com&#39;]

and how to obtain current mappings 

    %windir%\system32\inetsrv\Appcmd

but can not seem to find any way to map a site to a certificate (say the certificates hash for example)

How to assign a SSL Certificate to IIS7 Site from Command Prompt

I&#39;m setting up a webserver for a system that needs to be used **only** through HTTPS, on an **internal network** (no access from outside world)

Right now I got it setup with a self-signed certificate, and it works fine, except for a nasty warning that all browsers fire up, as the CA authority used to sign it is naturally not trusted.

Access is provided by a local DNS domain name resolved on local DNS server (example: https://myapp.local/), that maps that address to 192.168.x.y

Is there some provider that can issue me a proper certificate for use on an internal domain name (myapp.local)? Or is my only option to use a FQDN on a real domain, and later map it to a local IP address?

**Note**: I would like an option where it&#39;s not needed to mark the server public key as trusted on each browser, as I have not control over workstations.

HTTPS Certificate for internal use

Following the instructions on &quot;How to: Configure a Port with an SSL Certificate&quot; in this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733791.aspx, I entered this command on the commandline (duh):

    &gt; netsh http add sslcert ipport:10.141.146.227:7001 certhash=5d48e604007b867ae8a69260a4ad318d2c05d8ff appid={EDE3C891-306C-40fe-BAD4-895B236A1CC8}
    The parameter is incorrect.

My `certhash` thumbprint was taken from the certificate in Certificates(Local Computer)&gt;Personal&gt;Certificates folder.

The `appid` GUID was generated. 

What else is wrong that I need to fix to get this to work?

When I try to run `netsh wlan start hostednetwork`, I get the following message:

    C:\Windows\system32&gt;netsh wlan start hostednetwork
    The hosted network couldn&#39;t be started.
    The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.

I&#39;m running this with admin privileges, so it&#39;s not the notorious

    C:\Users\Kevin&gt;netsh wlan start hostednetwork

I have a Windows application that needs to use ports `50005` and `50006` but it is being blocked.

I see the following when I run `netsh int ip show excludedportrange protocol=tcp`:

    Protocol tcp Port Exclusion Ranges
    
    Start Port    End Port
    ----------    --------
    5357        5357
    49709       49808
    49809       49908
    49909       50008
    50009       50108
    50109       50208
    50280       50379
    
    * - Administered port exclusions.

So something on my machine is reserving ports `49909` to `50008`, which is presumably what is causing my application to fail. I&#39;ve tried deleting this `excludedportrange` with the following command:

    netsh int ip delete excludedportrange protocol=tcp numberofports=100 startport=49909

But I see an error `Access is denied.`, which makes me think that whatever is reserving this ports is actively running, but I have no idea what that could be. 

What&#39;s also weird is that after running that command, even though I saw an error, if I reboot the `excludedportrange` will be different.

As a sanity check I&#39;ve also run `resmon.exe` and confirmed that there is nothing running on ports `50005` and `50006`.

How can I tell what is adding the `excludedportrange`?

**EDIT:** I&#39;ve narrowed this down to Hyper-V. If I disable Hyper-V then those ports are not excluded.
