As a reminder to self: Settings are nice (too bad they advertise them as Windows Forms Application Settings, as they are just as useful for other assemblies), but be aware…
When using Settings.Default, it will get the values to the state of the app.config (or defaults if there is no app.config) of the assembly that defined the settings, not the app.config of the starting process.
This is unless your settings are merged into the app.config of the starting process.

I had this a while ago on one of my Android devices: an error 926 while downloading apps from the Play Store.
After searching, the only relevant solution I could find is in the below youtube video. These are the steps to resolve the problem:
For some users, just resetting the “Download Manager” might fix the 926 problem. I had to reset “Google Services Framework” as well. Others had to reset the “Google Play Store” app.
These were the circumstances I encountered the 926 problem:
After fixing the 926 error, I installed all apps using the Google Play app which then went fine.

Code Analysis in Visual Studio objects against using very generic exception types:
CA2201 Do not raise reserved exception types
‘BusinessClass<T>.StopProcessing()’ creates an exception of type ‘ApplicationException’, an exception type that is not sufficiently specific and should never be raised by user code. If this exception instance might be thrown, use a different exception type.
Company.Departement.Functionality BusinessClass.cs 157
Indeed ApplicationException and SystemException are bad (both mapping to also very generic COM HRESULT values COR_E_APPLICATION / -2146232832 / 0x80131600 and COR_E_SYSTEM / -2146233087 / 0x80131501).
Using InvalidOperationException is much nicer in this case. It still maps to a COM exception (in this case COR_E_INVALIDOPERATION / -2146233079 / 0x80131509).

Applying security hardening standards and generally securing Ubuntu has been a challenge.
Tell me about it (:

A while ago, I had this error on BitBucket:
Running git.exe with arguments "fetch --prune" failed with return code 128 and error output: "fatal: unable to access 'https://%account%@bitbucket.org/%user%/%repository%.git/': Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to bitbucket.org:443
A quick search for “Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to bitbucket.org:443” pointed me to a comment by Ludwik Trammer on an answer by Jordfräs:
I resolved the issue by upgrading from git 1.8 to git 2.0.
Which reminded me this was a Windows system, where there is no package manager that verifies how far your non-system software is behind.
One day, I will write a script that finds out about the git version history and inform me of major/minor versions I’ve skipped.
Some notes for that:
Probably I will need to do something similar for Mercurial/hg in the future as well.

A while ago, I came across a class having (among other members) two methods named like this:
Within one of the other members of the class, I had to (temporarily) Stop processing, then Start it again.
But I couldn’t, as neither Start, nor Stop would make a record of the state it left the instance in.
Always ensure you know the state of an instance.
So I added the state, and tests to ensure a Stop/Start change was indeed not breaking things.
