Problem: In SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), you're trying to import from a data dump from another database system that has different data types from SQL Server. While the conversions look pretty straigh forward, you get failures of the type "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.". But despite the mismatch data types, you can't see anything wrong.

Problem: In newly AJAX-enabled .Net 2.0 page, buttons that redirect user to another page are suddenly throwing the following error:

Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorException: The message received from the server could not be parsed. Common causes for this error are when the response is modified bycalls to Response.Write(), response filters, HttpModules, or server trace is enabled. Details: Error parsing near '<BODY><ASP_SMARTNAV_'.
