Rated 5 for your use of that humorous and archaic phrase. :) If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Did you got the guy fired, cause of such guys the software can't cope up even with hardware advancements. Even with a quad core machines and GBs of RAM we still have the same performance issues we used to have in the days of Pentium I and a few MB of RAM.

there is an obvious flaw in this code, it should read like: if (Status == "something") { randomValue = true; } else if (Status != "something") { randomValue = true; } else { randomValue = true; }

Just an idea. Maybe the key is automatically generated on the first publish. If that is the case, it may have an expiration date, say, one year after the initial build. If it is expired, perhaps that is what is causing the build to fail. Maybe try generating a new one? Though, the fact that you had the same problem when creating a new project suggests that the problem is something else. I imagine you'd get a new temporary key when building a new project (assuming it is in a new solution). [ S<T>::f(U) // Out of line. ](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8yk3t00s(v=vs.71).aspx)
