Error: Configuration system failed to initialize

C#

Windows Service.

I was never going to fix this one by myself there was no ChatGPT.

The cause was the corruption of the user.config file.

That was located in a folder that I did not even know about:

C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\<AppName>\<AppName.exe>_Url_<hash>\<version>\user.config

Chrome: Could not load shockwave flash

I had an expired Flash - Firefox. For some weird reason, I made an upgrade. (I don't really use Firefox)
This messed up my Chrome Flash. I had "Could not load shockwave flash", and that nice looking grey thing.
Went on to google it, tried several things.

• chrome setting, something needs to be disabled (when you have 2 plugins)
• delete some files from some flash folder on C drive
• uninstall plugins, reinstall them

Nothing worked.

I finally uninstalled chrome, and reinstalled it. I didn't lose anything. Browsing history, shortcuts, home page, extensions (even an extension that is no longer in Chrome app store).

Flash also worked flawlessly after this.

CONVERT DATETIME seems all right, but still ...

A table with a varchar column that has date and other value types too.
A query with a simple CONVERT DATETIME

Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.

Crashing. Over and over again. I start to call it X-Files.
Until I read THIS.

Not only I know why it happened (and sortof feel like SQL is "stupid" :D) but I get an interesting idea to work around the issue.

The ConnectionString property has not been initialized

I had this error:

The ConnectionString property has not been initialized.

I have a MSI installer, that is installed in our QA environment.

It was working before, and suddenly, I only had this error.
Googled up a bit, all this info on how to get the connection string and all that.

I finally realized that I rebuilt the whole solution, but I didn't rebuild the Deployment project. After a rebuild ... everything back to normal.

#:-S

Hope this helps someone.

Session state can only be used when enablesessionstate is set to true

I had a JavaScript function, that called a WebService, and I had this "Session state can only be used when enablesessionstate is set to true ..." error over and over again.

Everything was all right, in the web.config and in the "< % @ Page " too.

It was still giving me the error.

I made it work doing this:
start -- control panel -- administrative tools -- services -- asp.net state server

by default it is stopped. i started it.
that's it.

Ajax Databind – javascript error “unknown runtime error”

I had this error a few minutes ago. It was the weirdest thing. On a Save button (linkbutton) I had a gridview repopulated using Ajax. The Save linkbutton was also added as a trigger for the Ajax’s UpdatePanel. The save went well, saved in the database, but when it came to refresh the gridview, this javascript error popped up.

The fix was move the stuff around. Scriptmanager, UpdatePanel, ObjectDataSource … all of them inside the form … Anyways … if you have this error, you don’t necessarily have a big problem, you just need to figure out what did you put in the wrong place.

< form id="form1" runat="server">

< ajax:ScriptManager runat="server" ID="ScriptManager1" EnablePartialRendering="true">
< Services>
< ajax:ServiceReference Path="../Include/WebService.asmx" InlineScript="true" />
< /Services>
< /ajax:ScriptManager>
< ajax:UpdatePanel ID="up2" runat="server">
< ContentTemplate>
< asp:GridView>
...
< /asp:GridView>
< /ContentTemplate>
< Triggers>
< ajax:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="lbnSave" EventName="Click" />
< /Triggers>
< /ajax:UpdatePanel>

< asp:ObjectDataSource ID="ods" ...
< SelectParameters>
< asp:QueryStringParameter ...
< /SelectParameters>
< /asp:ObjectDataSource>

< /form>

see ya
