• hazz Client Prerequisites - session initiator

  hi, Does the CSF session initiator ( can be treated as a client) be CSF aware If I would want a java client to initiate a CSF session would I have to write an intermediate layer implemented in dot net as web service that creates the session manifest and other essentials thanks Hi Nataraj, Thanks for this insight. This means the session manifest structure is needed only if I decide to use the sdk namespaces. CSF session client or initiator need not be a .NET application; it can be written in any technology as long as it follows WS-Addressing and WS-Security Policy rules. ...Show All

• Steve Wash Architecture for Notification based application

  I need to develop a notification based system in .Net. Basically as and when certain data gets updated, the client machine is informed about it. There would be a windows based application running across all these clients. One way I was thinking of was to have the clients poll the server for any updates at frequent intervals. Whenever the Server does an update it would post the update into a queue. Every client would poll the queue for any updates. Would like to know if this approach is alrite or suggest an alternative architecture. Thanks Sai I think you are in the right direction. Here is how i view the architecture could be!  IMO it should be asynchoronous, notifications should be publish ...Show All

• Chris Dunaway could some one comment the ExcelService.CalculationA1

  I think the CalculationA1 can calculate some thing base on the post ExcelService.CalculateA1 Method (Microsoft.Office.Excel.Server.WebServices) However I don't know how to use it and what ' type of scenario could use it. Any suggestion 1. You can use CalculateA1 with an empty range as you said to calculate the whole workbook. 2. You get the same rand value 10 times because of a different reason: Excel Services caches the results of volatile functions for a configurable period of time, and will not call them again until that time elapses, to save resources. Rand is a volatile function, and it respects this rule. An admin can change the setting to anything that suits specific needs, even to call volatile functions each and every ...Show All

• SPA Efficient Image comparision and sending Image Difference

  Scenario: Client Program needs to send Screen shot after every 100 milli seconds. Now i want to compare 1st sent screen shot with the next captured screen shot. I want to calculate the image difference and send only the difference betwwen the two screenshots to the server. and then  the 2nd Screenshot will be genrated on the server. Conversion to byte array and then comparision is possible but that is very slow. I need an efficient method. Because speed is the concern overhere. regards   I'm not too sure about the code, but it seems ok. Anyway, you can try encode the difference by some algorithm such as run length encoding, since most of the time the screenshot wouldn't have much difference, whic ...Show All

• ACCOUNTINGONLINE.US Opening a page with FrontPage

  Why am I asked to check out the page when I attempt to open it with FrontPage why not The pages are managed with versions if you enable the publishing feature in the site. this prevents two people from changing the same page at the same time, overriding eachother. For some reason, one of two people both having Administrative permissions can open the page without being prompted to check out and not the other. What would be the reason for this And, how do you turn the publishing off I dont think publishing is the problem - I think this is just how sharepoint works, since pages, like documents need to be checked out before being able to edit them.

• Larry Menard Business Data Catalog / View Applications/ Applications / Change Setting is not present

  When you select a "Shared Services" "business data catalog" and then select "View Application", and then select a listed BDC Application, you are supposed to, according to some online MOSS demos, be able to see a selection for "Change Setup", so that you can modify the application.

• Art Y Events and Sessions

  Hi, I have one question regarding events and session. I have a session and inside it there are two services, namely A and B. Service A subscribes to an event of service B. A then requests B to execute an operation. After B finishes that operation it fires an event using the Push delivery (PushDeliveryMode class). This event doesn't get into the session but gets called directly on A (avoiding all the routing rules). My issue here is I would like to route the event from service B to service A using a Intercept service in between to perform some changes on the event and then route it forward. What I'd like to know is: Is it possible for session to catch events (WS-Eventing based) and route them accordingly to the session routin ...Show All

Take for instance a simple issue log: How do i create a report in SharePoint and organize the list by "Entered By" I have created reports in Access that use the data from SharePoint via linked tables and I would like to 'duplicate' these reports in SharePoint. Thank you ps. i have looked at "Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies Resource Kit" but with out any luck.

• ClaesWedin Office Automation in .NET

  Hi, We have a Documentation system which generates some output documents based upon some pre-defined templates in MS Word. What we did in the past was, we designed these templates in Word. We had a Visual Basic dll which dynamically merge the data into these templates using Mail Merge feature. Now we are enhancing/upgrading this application. I was wondering if we can get rid of this Mail Merge some way because using MS Word on server with COM+ causes many unwanted scenarios, like Word instances remain open and eats memory, Some unwanted data appears in Mail Merge fields and Word opens a pop up etc. Can anyone suggest something more useful Thanks, If you'd like to try ActiveDocs let me know.

• ledwinka Windows Application Versus Web Site

  I need to develop an application that reads from and writes to a database housed in a SQL Server located in an Intranet. I am using Visual Studio 2005 (VB). I can see that there are two possible routes to the development - as a Windows Application or as a Web Site. I will be most grateful if some body out there could advise me on which option route to take and perhaps why. Regards. Nkenta You didn't say anything about your user interaction needs - If you are only transfer data from one side to the other you can write it as a windows service or even host it in SQL server itself.

• swaroop.m Question on Custom Entities

  I have a scenario wherein the UI talks to Service layer --> Business Layer --> Data Layer and fetches data and passes along the layer via custom entities. Typically when we retrieve records it would as a set of entities inside an entity collection or should I say an array of entities. Now when I update a particular entity in the entity collection I either have the option of sending the entire entity collection or just extract out the updated entity and send the same across the layers to be updated in the database. Looking apparently, it would suggest sending only the updated entity instead of the entire entity collection bcos its always best to pass small size data across the layers. Is this analogy correct or is there some scena ...Show All
