Problems with Wcf RIA services installation(or uninstallation)

Yesterday i installed the full version of vs2010 on my laptop(i had vs2010 express so far) and remove the vs2008.

All well, till i tried to create a silverlight application with Ria service.

First,when creating the Silverlight Application project i didn't have the "enable WCF Ria services" checkbox. that turned a red light, but i kept going… then i tried to add a Domain service to the web application but i couldn't! it wasn't in the list of items to add..

So i tried to uninstall and install the silverlight tools,toolkit and sdk about a 1000 times – didn't help! there was a time that i did get the "enable WCF Ria services" checkbox but it was disabled.

Then,i found a post somewhere that talked about old vs2008 installation of Ria services that should be uninstalled,so i looked in the control panel and searched for the installation of WCF Ria services, but trying to uninstall it led to nothing. it was still there no matter what i tried to do…

At the end, after heavy search on google i found the solution! removing some keys from the registry and the problem solved! (i had to install all silverlight stuff again and that's it).

The solution is described in here:

Good luck…

Moving up! to visual studio 2010

After to holidays season(in Israel), we are planning to start working with visual studio 2010!
Except the nice IDE features,we will start working with silverlight 4 and hopefully .Net 4 (there are some problems with our maps engine, so we might stay on 3.5 for awhile).
To get ready, i found some good tips to improve our vs2010 experience.
