OK, this one seems to be happening all too often: While working on VS.NET 2003, I suddently end up with two different icons on the taskbar for a single instance of VS.NET. Curiously enough, one of them gets piled up with other Windows Explorer windows, not with the rest of...

Does anyone know exactly what one has to do to use fault messages on request/receive ports in BizTalk Server 2004 succesfully without running into a "X2162: must receive before sending a fault message on an implemented port" error at compile time? (I really don't have to mention at this point...
