Something about ID3 tags

I've been wanting to research ID3 tagging of MP3 files, and have spent some time trying to read the tags using C# - without luck :-(

The streams I'm reading always seem to be flawed in some way. Well I've found an example where you use the shell32.dll Windows native library to read the tags. I'm looking forward to trying this out to see if it's me thats wrong ;-)

Could not load file or assembly

I've started developing a website for a client, and have made some extensions for Umbraco CMS, which I'm using as platform for the whole thing. Then suddenly, while working, my machine crashed totally, leaving me with no choice but to turn it off the bad way – ie. holding down the power button.

When the computer had started again, I tried running the site at 'localhost' again, but got this error message:

Could not load file or assembly 'Blizan.Tools' or one of its dependencies. The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))

Not knowing how to fix it, I found a few solutions via Google, but they where quite extensive. One forum said I needed to reinstall the entire .NET framework!

But then I had an idea, and it worked: Delete all the files in the "Temporary ASP.NET files" folder (C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\%version%\Temporary ASP.NET files\root\)


Now I'm a happy working man :-)

Mac and PC - a world of trouble

Now how can you ever have to operating systems collaborate when their founders act like this:

Btw. "Finder" doesn't really talk like that.. In fact it doesn't ever talk as far as I know....
