I've VS 2010 and recently installed WCF RIA Services V1.0. For testing I have created a new Silverligh Business project but now every now and then when I rebuild the solution I receive the following error:

Does anybody know why I get this?

Thanks

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

Close VS, delete files in c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\. Restart VS, Build solution. By the way; I got the problem after a bluescreen.
