I was working on my ASP.NET MVC application recently and I needed to do some serialization / deserialization work on JSON data. I chose to use Json.NET, a very popular JSON framework for .NET. The problem was that when I ran the application, I was getting an exception telling me that the Newtonsoft.Json could not be loaded due to assembly's manifest definition not matching the assembly reference. In this article, I will show you what I tried and how I managed to solve the problem.

When I installed MySQL server a few months ago on my Windows 10 machine, I chose to have the database files on my main SSD drive. As it was slowly filling up, I decided to migrate the MySQL database files to another drive. I assumed all I needed to do is to update a path for datadir option in my.ini configuration file, but that didn't work. After the database location move, starting the MySQL server gave me 10061 error "Can't connect to MySQL server" error. Luckily, the fix was quite simple.

When creating a new ASP.NET MVC project in Visual Studio, the project will use a Bootstrap front-end framework by default.

This article will show you how I replaced the default Bootstrap framework with the AdminLTE template in an ASP.NET MVC project.

When writing drafts for my blog posts, I prefer to use offline blog authoring editors. First, I used Windows Live Writer, part of Windows Essential, but after it reached end of support in the 2017, I switched to forked open sourced version Open Live Writer. I also installed EasyPHP on my local machine, to publish the drafts to my local WordPress site for further processing. The problem was that the "Open Live Writer" was not letting me add a blog account. It was giving me an error message about Invalid Server Response. In this article, I will show you what I tried and what fixed the issue.
