I recently discovered Animoto, so here's a quick video of my time at TechEd:

Could not find property 'Name' on object of type: Sitecore.Data.SqlServer.SqlServerDataProvider
This week, I branched a solution in TFS and checked out the branch. It built successfully. I then added virtual directories in IIS to point at the locations of the app_config, sitecore, sitecore modules and data folders (I move these outside of the web site root for easier swappability and source control). On browsing to the site, I got the message:
Could not find property 'Name' on object of type: Sitecore.Data.SqlServer.SqlServerDataProvider
It took a while to figure out that this was due to the assemblies in source control being out of date. Once I'd copied the contents of the bin folder on the live web server to my local machine, I was able to browse the site.

Creation of the virtual directory http://localhost/ failed
On attempting to check out a project in VS2008, I got the following message:
The local IIS URL http://localhost/ specified for Web project DemoWebsite has not been configured. In order to open this project the virtual directory needs to be configured. Would you like to create the virtual directory now?
On clicking yes, I got the following error:
Creation of the virtual directory http://localhost/ failed with the error: The URL 'http://localhost/' is already mapped to a different folder location.
The rest of the solution checked out all right, but the above project did not; it was marked as unavailable. I right-clicked the project node in the solution explorer and selected the option to edit the project (.csproj) file. Near the bottom of the file, I found the following:
<iisurl>http://localhost/</iisurl>
I edited this entry to add a virtual directory:
<iisurl>http://localhost/myapp</iisurl>
Having saved the change, I then right-clicked the project node in the solution explorer again and reloaded the project. When I was prompted to create the virtual directory again, the creation was successful and the project checked out. The virtual directory is created under the running web site in IIS (on Windows XP).
