Problem When trying to consume a web service deployed to IIS, the following error is displayed: Description: The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid. Error Code: 0x80070021 Config Error: This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when the section is locked at a parent level.

Doing Software Engineering research requires well thought out planning and validation approaches. Studying such topics, I have come across a couple of interesting papers. A summary of their most interesting points (for me) follows below. Writing Good Software Engineering Research Papers (Mary Shaw) · A research paper should include a number of questions stating your contribution (question you answered, why the reader should care larger questions addressed), your new result (previous work , new knowledge, details) and why readers should believe you (evaluation standard/method, evidence connecting claim and result). · Types of software engineering research questions include: method/means of development, method for analysis or evaluation, design/evaluation/analysis of a particular instance, generalization or characterization, feasibility study or exploration. · Program committees look for a clear statement on the specific problem you solved ...

While positions in the Dev/Test discipline at Microsoft are straightforward to understand for newcomers, this is not exactly true for the PM (program management) discipline. It's not the same thing as project management and relies much more on a technical side. Steven Sinofsky already detailed what program managers do at Microsoft. My contribution here is a "verb blitz": what are common actions performed by PMs? Here you have a list compiled from some colleagues: adjust aggregate analyze approve associate assume attest build carry clarify close complete confirm connect consult contact cooperate create declare decline define describe determine dilute disable distill drive enable find follow gather highlight illuminate improve inquire inspire interact investigate isolate lead learn look manage match mix move offer open optimize partner post present ...

Just sharing something useful: I have an ASUS laptop with a brazilian keyboard but the question mark/slash key (? and /) never worked with the brazilian ABNT layout. After browsing the web I found out that such a key was being mapped to the Control Key. The way to solve this was to map it to the question mark key, by setting the following registry key: Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout Value (name): Scancode Map Type: REG_BINARY Data: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 73 00 1D E0 00 00 00 00 This tells your computer to map the right control key to the “/?” key. Log off, then log on. The problem will be solved. BR, -- AFurtado
