• truepantera Stored Procedure Approach for developing Applications: An Architecture Viewpoint

  Hi, I have a designed a smart client application which talks to WCF Services --> BL--> DAL and finally the database. Since I know that I would using only SQL Server for this application, I am of the opinion for going in for Stored Procedures(for its obivious benefits) and having transactions being handled at Business layer using System.Transactions. My Lead Architect is against the idea of using Stored Procs. His argument is that with SP approach it would be a question of getting the right transcation boundaries and also ensuring that the messaging and the transction are in a single distributed XA transaction. He says that these things are best achieved through individual statements and not in SP since SP's have their own txns. But ...Show All

• renyx Objectives Webpart prompting for credentials

  Setup: Windows Server 2003 SP1/WSSv3/SSL/published via ISA2004/basic authentication Problem: When using a meeting workspace, whenever the "Objectives" webpart is used, it prompts for logon credentials 3 times in a row. Removing the "Objectives" webpart stops prompting for creds. Any ideas Christian I haven't figured out the cause of this. It may require my calling Microsoft support, which in the past, has been a painful process. The WSSv3 queue is ALWAYS full. I waited for 4 hours on hold to talk to someone to fix a serious issue on my production server. So, I'm not too keen on doing the same just to get the "objectives" web part working. But, if I have 1/2 a day to ...Show All

• Angry Coder setting the default page - change welcome page link missing

  Hello, I've read a post or two that says under site settings - look and feel - there should be a section for the welcome page. I do not see this. I logged onto two SS2007 sites, one of which i installed myself and made myself the admin so i should have access to everything and i dont see it on there either. I tried renaming default.aspx to default2.aspx and then renaming my page to default.aspx but that had no effect, it just bounces you to default2.aspx now. So how can i make another page the default welcome page thanks Unfortunately i never seem to get any alerts when a thread has been replied to so i never saw any of these replies until just now.

• Derek Comingore Server getting intimation of disconnection while file is downloaded from client side

  I have a problem, There is a file being transferred to an .Net application via HTTP protocol by a J2EE web application. Now I want to trap the client disconnection event at Server Side if Download fails from client side. I have thought some approaches but not fully satisfied with those: 1. Just open a separate thread from client that will tell the server periodically that client is alive, till file gets transferred. 2. Server should ping the client periodically, if client is available, but this would be a violation of HTTP protocol. In case 1 ,  I would have to make a service or exceutable on client side which i would like to attempt as the last case. I would like client to be just using webbrowser. Please comment on my ideas ...Show All

• Azaz High availability application

  Hi Everybody! We are starting a project to develop a mission-critical web application (therefore, availability,reliability and scalability are major concerns). We are thinking about using a SOA approach, using WCF services hosted on IIS (using a cluster in order to provide the required availability, scalability and reliability). My questions are 1) I've seen that WCF can be hosted on IIS or as Windows Services. I'd like to know the advantages and disatvantages of each approach (considering specially performance and development/deploy effort issues) 2) Is there any reference we could use in order to estimate the hardware requirements to support the solution (the information we can use to estimate it a ...Show All

• sathish_indian IE Crashes on view of Office document on SPS2003

  We've been running Sharepoint 2003 for a while and are beginning our migration from Office 2003 to Office 2007. We're consistently seeing IE crashes when attempting to open a document directly from a SharePoint document store. (Browse to the document list, click on a document and "kaBoom!" IE crashes with a kernel32.dll fault) I've seen this problem with the following configurations: Vista Business (RTM), IE7, Office 2007 WinXP, IE7, Office 2007 WinXP, IE6, Office2007 There's a similar thread on the Vista forum where one suggestion was to "remove Project 2003" (which only exists on one of the three above data points).
