MVC's RenderPartial in a WebForms page

We have a mixed ASP.NET MVC/WebForms application, slowly transitioning to all-MVC. Obviously, sharing components between MVC and WebForms is important to us.

Using WebForms controls in MVC views is easy enough (minus the postbacks), but when we rendered partial views in a WebForms page using Keith Henry's code we occasionally got evil "Validation of viewstate MAC failed" errors. Microsoft doesn't think hybrid WebForms / MVC apps are relevant, but then Mauricio Scheffer came to the rescue. Instead of having the partial views subclass ViewUserControl, we now subclass Mauricio's ViewUserControlWithoutViewState - problem solved.

TeamCity 5.0 upgrade - "out of memory" error

I upgraded JetBrains TeamCity to version 5.0 on Windows (for Git support, yay!). The previous version upgrades went smoothly, but this time I got an exception when loading the server:

java.sql.SQLException: out of memory

After some googling, I thought I had to:

• Run ...\TeamCity\bin\tomcat6w.exe //ES//TeamCity
• In the "Java" tab change the value for "Maximum memory pool"
• Not set it too high

But no cigar. I realized that I probably had a corrupt HSQLDB database, and I ended up reinstalling and copying the config by hand (which was a little frustrating). I don't think there's a real reason why an embedded SQL database should be less dependable than one with a server (I know that from SQLite), so I'm guessing it's either TeamCity's or HSQLDB's fault. Even so, an "export configuration" button would be nice, and take the pain out of reinstalling TeamCity.
