Outlook Addin does not work

I created the Outlook add-in for outlook 2007 using VSTO 2008 while debugging code outlook threw an exception on start as below:

"Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word,
Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one
of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

After doing little research I found usually if we have not installed the
Office 2007 PIA on the development machine outlook an exception at the start.

But that is a necessary component to program against .NET Office
project.

Please try the following steps to resolve the issue,

1.Open the Control Panel and double click the Programs and Features

2.Find the Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007, right click it and choose the
Change option

3.Select the radio button Add or Remove Features and click Continue

4.Select the .NET Programmability Support under Microsoft Office Outlook.
click Continue to go on.

After we install the PIA correctly, we should find the
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook in C:\Windows\Assembly virtual directory.
And this fixed my issue .

The server principal “user” is not able to access the database “db” under the current security context.

I was running into an issue that I really needed to resolve quickly.
I was getting the below error:

The server principal "sqluser" is not able to access the database "db" under the current security context. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 916)

After googling a lot I found a blog : https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=354291.

Resolution:
This suggestion solved my problem:
Please try using the following workaround and let us know if that helps:

1) Bring Object Explorer Details window by selecting View --> Object Explorer Details in menu (or hitting F7)
2) In Object Explorer window click at Databases folder
3) In Object Explorer Details window right-click at the column header and deselect Collation
4) Refresh Databases folder.

Solved.

SharePoint 2007 HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable

How did I solved the "HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable" followed by error "cannot connect to the configuration database"------------

I was working on a project and all of the sudden my SharePoint site and Central Admin started giving me the error ‘HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable’ and I was not able to access either of them. I was not even able to connect to my Database SQL Server 2008. Thanks God! I realized soon I had changed my domain password a day before which stopped the application pool and also was not able to start MSSQLSERVER service.

I googled a lot and found the below solution:

1. Open up IIS Manager and click on Application Pools.
2. Locate your App Pool account and right-click on it and select ‘Advanced Settings’.
3. Click on the right of the Identity box to change it (A window will pop up).
4. Click on Set and simply retype your App Pool Identity in there with the new password.

Kind of weird but worked for me after giving me a day headache, I could get rid of ‘HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable’ after restarting the IIS Server but got another shock ""cannot connect to the configuration database."

I took lesser time to identify the problem this time. I tried to login to the DataBase Server manually and was unsuccessful, this is common problem on changing the domain password which did not bother me much. The follwoing steps resolved it.

1. Goto Control Panel> Admin Tool> Services.
2. Right click on MSSQLSERVER service and choose properties.
3. Click on LogOn tab.
4. Change the Domain password.
5. Now start the service, come back to test whether can connect to SQL Server, Hurray! now connected successfully.

Final Touch, restarted all the services, could log back to my SharePoint site and Central Admin.

Recaptcha Validation Exception: Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'WebForm_PostBackOptions' is undefined

I'm using recaptcha control for avoid spamming while signing-up.
I get the following error:
Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'WebForm_PostBackOptions' is undefined

If I remove the recaptcha, the form works. I've read some posts that the WebResources.axd which handles the 2.0 javascript isn't being downloaded properly etc. I checked my solution file for other forms, I see "WebResources.axd" is loaded properly & while the page which contains recaptcha does not load "WebResources.axd" file. I googled a lot, applied all the steps given in the blogs related to this error, but nothing fixed it. This situation was show stopper for me and I needed this is be fixed. Whenever I removed recaptcha it started working. I knew the problem but did not find solution.

Unknowingly I added "ValidationGroup="abc" for the control on which click I was getting the above exceptions.

I didnt realize that my problem was solved. Suddenly I found, my exceptions has stopped, I compared my old code with the current one & found the solution is adding ValidationGroup="abc". I added for all the control on which click the error was coming.

If you get the similar error, just try this work around. I still wonder how it solved the problem. Any explaination is welcome.
