dataset to xml encoding = "UTF-8"

Hi,

While writing dataset to generate XML file with encoding UTF-8, it will not work if you directly use following line of code:

xmlDS.WriteXml(fileName)

It need little more work:

Public Sub WriteXml(ByVal ds As DataSet, ByVal fileName As String, ByVal encoding As Encoding)
    Using writer = XmlWriter.Create(fileName, New XmlWriterSettings With {
        .Encoding = encoding,
        .Indent = True
    })
        ds.WriteXml(writer)
    End Using
End Sub

BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles)

PDF reports were very slow on our Application Server

Change to “Adjust for best performance” did the trick.

Membership credential verification failed.

I was also getting following and every solution on google says that application name is not matching vs what's in database. It was in IIS 7+

Event code: 4006
Event message: Membership credential verification failed.

In my case, applicationname was right.
My problem was that the page name wasn't being mentioned on browser on postback.

I had some href tags on page and I had to append page name to make it work.

Bad URL   : http://mypage/site/?querystring=a
Good URL: http://mypage/site/default.aspx?querystring=a
