IIS 7.5 - HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error - The configuration section 'uri' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration

Category:Bil@l @ 21:42

I was hosting an ASP.NET 4.0 application on IIS 7.5 and using the DefaultAppPool. When I run the application, I receive the error message:

IIS 7.5 - Http Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error - The configuration section 'uri' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration

 

Don't be shocked :) The solution appeared to be as simple as changing the Application Pool to ASP.NET v 4.0 and here you go!

 

Remember always to select the right Application Pool whenever you are hosting an ASP.NET 4.0 app!

oEmbed API Wrapper for .Net

Category:Bil@l @ 09:35

oEmbed API Wrapper for .Net

oEmbed  is an open format standard for using REST to import content (such as videos, widgets, and images) from one website to another, avoiding XSS issues, and without having to parse the resource website. This wrapper allows you to simply make function calls in your own code to return the content that you desire. This is already a common feature in many blog engines and CMS's, such as WordPress. This wrapper brings this functionality to all .Net applications now.

You can only use this wrapper to import content from websites that have an oEmbed implementation (referred to as providers). Below is a list of the known providers, which also have a concrete implementation in this wrapper.

Papercut - Testing emails in Dev environments

Category:Bil@l @ 15:09

"Ever need to test emails from an application, but don't necessarily want it sending them out? Don't want to hassle with pointing it to a physical SMTP server? All you want to is verify it can send email, and take a look at the message.

Papercut is your answer. Papercut is a simplified SMTP server designed to only receive messages (not to send them on) with a GUI on top of it allowing you to see the messages it receives. It doesn't enforce any restrictions on addresses, it just takes the message and allows you see it. It is only active while it is running, and if you want it in the background, just minimize it to the system tray. When it receives a new message, a balloon message will show up to let you know.
