Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture.

If you encounter with an error and the error message is as the following:

System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException was unhandled by user code
  Message="Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture.  Make sure \"Resources.GlobalResource.resources\" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly \"App_GlobalResources.kxad9wfr\" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed."

A simple solution to the above error is to check the code line where you are using the Global Resources. Make sure you have written the spelling correctly for "Resource" files.

Visual Studio 2010 SP1 CSS3 Support

How do you feed when you install Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 and come to know that it didn't install CSS 3.0 support.

I had the same issue. I was planning to have CSS 3.0 support in VS2010.

I installed Service Pack 1 because Microsoft says "We encourage all ASP.NET developers to start taking advantage of what HTML5 and CSS3 has to offer already today.", but  couldn't see the support for CSS 3.0.

There is an extension from Microsoft, that installs CSS 3.0 Support only if you have SP1 installed and CSS 3.0 support is not there.

Click here to download and install the extension.

Error 118 The name '' does not exist in the current context

One of the common mistake :

Sometimes when you copy code files from other places, or copy it from some other solution ;) .

Check your code behind file name, Name space and Inherits property in the @Page directive.
Make sure they are equal.
