Task failed because “sgen.exe” was not found, or the correct Microsoft Windows SDK is not installed.

If you started using Visual Studio 2008 and didn't have a previous version of it then you will get this error trying to compile project that reference a web service. It only happens if you use .NET 2.0 version and compile in Release mode.

it's actually looking for a 2.0 component from the 2.0 SDK that is not being installed with your VS2008.

The solution:
Download and install .NET 2.0 SDK (from the Microsoft website) then copy the sgen.exe file from C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\v2.0 to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5

Call stack window missing from VS2008?

I get asked that a lot recently so I thought I'll share it with the world. No Microsoft didn't remove the Call Stack window from Visual Studio 2008. they just moved it to another menu entry.

You can find it under Debug->Windows->Call Stuck

Keep coding...
