IIS start: Unexpected error 0x8ffe2740 occurred

If you got the above error when trying to start the IIS services, then the most probable reason is, there is another application which is utilising the port that conflict with IIS on port 80. One way to resolve this is by changing their port, either one.

This error striked my PC and the application that uses the conflicting port was skype. Upon after quiting the program and triggering the start on IIS, it was then successfully executed.

ASP.NET: Assembly could not be loaded

If you're trying to debug your asp.net web application and was prompted with such error, I would suggest you clear your temporary internet files and restart your debugging process. It may be due to the old files is in state "locked" which does not fetch the latest compiled files.

If that doesn't resolve thing, the next step you can take is possibly restart your PC and see if the error goes away.

Should you found any alternative methods in resolving the matters, do share it here and should you need further assistance, do post it up.
