If you get the error Could not load type from assembly ‘System.Web profile when doing something like a unit test and trying to make a profile, you probably need to add the assembly name to your class declaration.

eg, using System.Web.Providers and the new inherits feature to specify your Profile:

<profile defaultProvider=”DefaultProfileProvider” inherits=”RationaldDev.Models.Account.MyCustomProfile, RationaldDev.Models”>

I got “Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)” when trying to access a WebMatrix site from another machine on the network. One way around this was the change the URL in WebMatrix to the host machine name rather than localhost… but you have to run WebMatrix as administrator to have binding permission.

Also make sure your firewall port is open… but if you got “Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)” I imagine it already is.

A little rant due to frustration that I may add to if I remember:

  • If you remove or comment out code someone else has added and they are still around, let them know what it is and why in case they needed it and they have to find out the hard way.
  • If the build is broken, attempt to fix it. If you don’t know anything about it the problem, find someone who does.
