This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms

Actually, this issue is not caused by IIS, the problem occurs when the following conditions are true:

• The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\fipsalgorithmpolicy registry subkey is set to 1.
• ASP.NET 2.0 uses the RijndaelManaged implementation of the AES algorithm when it processes view state data. The ReindaelManaged implementation has not been certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). Therefore, the AES algorithm is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.

To work around this problem, change the configuration in the application-level Web.config file. Specify that ASP.NET use the Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) algorithm to process view state data. To do this, follow these steps:

1. In a text editor such as Notepad, open the application-level Web.config file.
2. In the Web.config file, locate the <system.web> section.
3. Add the following <machineKey> section to in the <system.web> section: <machineKey validationKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps" decryptionKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps" validation="3DES" decryption="3DES"/>
4. Save the Web.config file.
5. Restart the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) service. To do this, run the following command at a command prompt: iisreset

After doing this also if it is not working then set the subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\fipsalgorithmpolicy value to 0

The ‘VSTS for Database Professionals Sql Server Data-tier Application’ package did not load correctly

Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server Express have an uneasy alliance, at best.  When you install Visual Studio 2010 it installs SQL Server Express 2008 for you, but only the database engine, not SQL Server Management Studio.  If you mess with SQL Server Express in order to install the management tools, or upgrade to 2008 R2, or install the Advanced Services version, things break and you can no longer reliably use the Visual Studio database projects.

In particular, if you remove SQL Server Express 2008 and install SQL Server Express 2008 R2, you’ll probably run into an issue where if you try to open a schema object in a Visual Studio database project you’ll get an error that says:

"‘VSTS for Database Professionals Sql Server Data-tier Application’ package did not load correctly"

The fix for this problem can be found here.  Here’s the short version:

1. Locate your Visual Studio 2010 installation media.
2. In the \WCU\DAC folder, you’ll find three MSIs: DACFramework_enu.msi, DACProjectSystemSetup_enu.msi, and TSqlLanguageService_enu.msi.  
3. Run and install each of them.
4. Reopen Visual Studio, it should be back to a working state.

Double clicking the aspx file In visual studio 2010 open internet explorer / mozilla

Double clicking the aspx file In visual studio 2010 open internet explorer / mozilla
A co-worker of mine  is experiencing an issue in Visual Studio 2010 where if he double clicks a page in the project explorer, it opens the page in internet explorer rather than open the file in visual studio.

Now to open the file in Visual Studio, he has to "right click" the aspx file and then select "View Designer".
The same thing happens if he right click and select "open".
so, I tried myself around with VS2010, and  I figured it out.
here is what u can do to over come this problem
1. In the solution explorer right click on .aspx file and click on "open with" option.
2. A dialogue box with open with title would come up, select "web form editor" in this box.
3. In the right hand side click button "Set as default"
4. click "Ok" and try again double clicking the .aspx file and now it should open in visual studio source view
Actually, you can define default editor for your files in that way (visual studio, dreamviewer or any third party tool)
