If you’re ever running a web app locally in Cassini (Visual Studios built in web server) and FireFox is really really really slow, but IE is fast like it should be, then you probably need to turn off IPV6 in FireFox.

To do this, type “about:config” in the address bar and filter on “v6″. Turn off IPV6 and FireFox should be fast again.

I converted a 2005 solution over to 2008 and hit build. I received this error:

MSBUILD : error : Invalid settings passed to CodeAnalysis task

I figured out that the problem was Visual Studio was calling FxCop from the “Visual Studio 8″ directory instead of “Visual Studio 9.0″. To fix this I had to change an environment variable called “FXCOPDIR” to point to the 2008 instance of Visual Studio.

I’m not sure why the install of 2008 didn’t do this. Oh well.
