VB.NET How to time a section of code.

Once in a while I want to see how long a section of code takes to run and I always forget the best way to do this.

.NET generics with private accessors not compatible with MSTest

Was playing around with generics and suddenly my unit test project failed with this error: “Signature of the body and declaration in a method implementation do not match.” After some research I found a post here http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vststest/thread/b54e6634-1542-4bd8-a227-029bfb679dec that explained my problem was using a private on a generic class, and was a known bug that will not be fixed in VS 2010 as explained here https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=415357 .  Changed the private to public and was able to carry on.

404 error in a REST WCF service

I created my first WCF REST service the other day and was getting a 404 error when I deployed the service to our server.  After some research I found the solution here: http://www.west-wind.com/weblog/posts/2008/Apr/10/WCF-REST-Configuration-for-ASPNET-AJAX-and-plain-REST-Services I needed to add: Factory ="System.ServiceModel.Activation.WebServiceHostFactory" to MyService.svc <% @ ServiceHost markup.
