• Magos294963 How programantically enable file sharing (or 'why doesn't snetcfg.exe work?')

  Howdy, I've been trying for a while now to programatically enable file sharing on Windows XP and Windows 2000 for a local application running under a non-domain controlled network, on a computer which has never been authorized for file sharing before. It appears to me that there is no documented way to share a file or folder unless and until the user manually enables file sharing by using the file manager to either run the network setup wizard, or click the "just enable file sharing" checkbox in response to right clicking the file or folder to be shared in windows file manager and then selecting 'sharing'. According to Google anyway, the DDK sample program snetcfg is supposed to do what I want. I've compiled the DDK versio ...Show All

• kayers Can you use Active Directory Manager data in workflow?

  I can’t seem to find a way to automatically rout a workflow task to a user’s manager using the person’s "manager" value from Active Directory. This seems like such a basic task, but I don’t see any option for it in the workflow roles available in SharePoint or SharePoint Designer. Has anyone had luck with this I'm also very keen to learn how to achieve this. We will have several workflows that will require manager approval (eg. annual leave requests), so this is a biggie for us. Cheers, Matt Well, Let's figure it out together then :-) I am thinking that we will need to create a custom workflow activity ... are we using MOSS or WSS as a bas ...Show All

• jackline Visio UML Code templates

  Has anyone got any documentation or examples of custom Code templates. Regards My answer might be irrelevant, but I'ld write it anyway - don't use visio for code generation, you'll regret it later ! Try Sparx's Enterprise Architect - it's much better and the code generator is fully editable. Ido. If you are willing to make decent investments, you could consider writing plugins for Visio. ...Show All

• Sassie OOP Design Question - Need an opinion...

  I know there is no "100% correct" way to design the following but any suggestions or shared opinions would be appreciated: I want to create a Customer business entity. Should this Customer class only contain properties and simple validation or should it also contain all the business logic and CRUD functions Should I create a separate class called CustomerService that handles logic by passing around and working with the Customer entity Example: How to add a new Customer 1) All domain logic in one Customer object . Customer.Name = "Bla" Customer.Save OR 2) Customer object to hold properties and Service object to perform business logic. Customer.Name = "Bla" CustomerFactory.AddCu ...Show All

• Trisha1802 DataAccess Design Pattern

  Hello, One of my application requirements is that when the user logs in, if they are not conected through the VPN, I need to perform all data access through webservices and if they are logged in, use my business components directly. Does anyone have any good ideas for this or point me in the direction of any existing patterns Thanks! Ajeeth is absolutely right. To make it a little more formal, you should let both web service and the business object implement a single interface. Lets call the interface as IBusiness. Have a common class that accepts the method calls (possibly) from the UI. Lets call the class as BusinessCallInterceptor. Have a factory class that creates an instance of either webs ...Show All

• Canderson Trying to figure out the max. number of concurrent users/requests for a single server.

  I have set the number of maxiothread and other settings in the machine.config as MS has suggested for heavy loads. I am running on Dual CPU's Dual Core servers with 16 GB of RAM. I am running load test using 3 sites going to different application pools - load balanced. I get up to around 250 users and I start to see response delays but can't figure out what is causing them. All 3 servers, web/app and db are running under 30% cpu and under 10% memory. I am loading the system to 500 concurrent users and have tried adjusting the settings for better CPU utilization on the web server with no luck. I am reading all the Tuning .NET Application Performance (pattern & practices) chapters on this subject. I am running Windows 2003 x64 ...Show All

• ClaraOscura Pattern to choose

  Hi, I have worked for several years as a developer/analyst and now I am trying to improve my design knowledge... I hope my question is right for this forum... I have a very large XML file (in excess of 350Mb and can probably get even bigger) that contain some hierarchical data (nested elements). I also have the XML schema that specifies the allowed hierarchical relation between the various elements (well, a schema…). This imply, for performance reasons that I have to use a XML reader of some type. Writing a "prototype" I ended up with a class that contains the reader and has several HandleElementXXX function that work on the reader… Starting from a main loop (while (!reader.EOF) the reading/parsing is delegate ...Show All

• jt_10 Re-Parenting

  I have a SharePoint Services v3 site collection that needs to be re-parented. I keep finding that this is a feature but can't find where you would actually preform the re-parenting. Is this a SharePoint Designer task I'm not sure that is possible. Moving sub-sites within the site collection is possible via the interface menu entry "Manage content and structure" in MOSS (not in WSS as far as I know). However, I have not yet found any information on moving a site collection or sites between two site collections. I assume you can accomplish that via the object model. One thing that might help is looking at the Content Deployment feature in MOSS, there is some info in this blog post: http://blogs.ms ...Show All
