I recently installed Content Porter 2009 SP2 Server and Client on the same server as the SDL Tridion Content Manager(CM) 2011 SP1.
Exporting worked totally fine, the zip was created and sat there just dying to be imported… so I thought ‘great, just a quick test of importing and I’m done’.
As a good developer, you write out useful information and debug messages in your .NET TBBs using the built in templating logger. This is great when running the TBBs in the template builder to give a bit of extra info about the processing.

I got a question recently about how the .NET version of Tridion Content Delivery figures out where your configuration files are located.
As I didn’t know all of the details, I decided to investigate and share my findings here. Continue reading
I’ve just finished upgrading a customer to SDL Tridion 2011 where part of the task involved migrating a custom application from Tridion 2009 server to the new 2011 GUI server. Â The application uses the .Net Interop library in order to create a TDSE object. Â When the code ran to impersonate the object the following exception was thrown with the message:
