• Chuck S. Associate custom list form with a list

  Hi, I've followed the instructions at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA101191111033.aspx to create a custom list form, but when it comes to associating it with a page, it fails. In the list properties, I click Supporting Files, and browse to the new page to use, and click OK to close the List Properties dialog box. If I open the List Properties dialog box again, it does not show my changed form. Nor does it show it if I actually browse to the site, and create a new list item. Any ideas Thanks Martin Hi Martin, Make sure that you have selected the correct "Content type specific forms" in the tab Supporting Files. By default, it usually comes with "Fol ...Show All

  After having spent a lot of time building a two webparts under ASP.NET (one provider, one consumer), and getting them to work flawlessly under the ASP.NET webpart framework, it now comes time to deploy to SharePoint.

• Joe Albahari low-level file creation

  This question is related to my previous one about low-level file creation on FAT - I'm writing a file to an SD card, on a subdirectory ( \\ABC\\SETTINGS.TXT ). The subdirectory ABC is created on the root, and the file name SETTINGS.TXT shows up on the ABC subdirectory but w hen I try to open it, I get "failed to open document" and, from Notepad, "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable". I believe that I've done everything I need to do with the FAT (it looks as I expect it to in the debugger). I make a directory with dot and dotDot entries for ABC and add the entry for SETTINGSTXT in the ABC directory. And it looks like the file data is being written to the correct address. Are there any clues that ...Show All

• Peter Ritchie Need a bit of help getting My Site functionality to work

  Hi all. I have installed MOSS 2007 enterprise in a simple-server farm mode using a SQL 2005 backend. It appears I have everything else working except the My Site functionality. When I click on My Site, I get: Your personal site cannot be created because Self-Service Site Creation is not enabled. Contact your site administrator for more information. So then I enable Self-Service Site Creation for the web app that is hosting the My Site service and try again. This time I receive: There has been an error creating the personal site. Contact your site administrator for more information.

• Christian Sparre Detecting internal calls in business object without using TLS or overloaded internal method

    Hi Forum I have the following problem. I need to know whether a call to a business object was made from another business object or directly from the UI.

But it is the same method. ;( The best solution I have found is to make an internal version of the method with parameters. Like this: public class BusinessObject{ &n ...Show All

• averge joe Common Template

  Hi, I logged into WSS using administrator account and customized the “Home” page by including ad excluding some web parts and so on. I did all that in the server machine. Then I change the authentication to have windows authentication enabled. Later I try to access WSS site in the server from my local machine using my own account. I able to log in but the “Home” site doesn’t look the same as the one I have customized for the administration.

How can I achieve that . Really appreciate your help. Thanks ...Show All

• Karl Hulme Service Catalog and UDDI Publisher tool issues

  Hi, I have been exploring Service Catalog as well, however I noticed that whenever I try to add a new service, a new instance of Service Provider also gets created. e.g. I intend to add HelloWorld service to an existing provider “Connected Services Framework v3.0” . Once I am done with publishing and check the UDDI through its browser interface, I see a new provider created “Connected Services Framework v3.0” and the HelloWorld service residing inside it. What I actually intended was to add HelloWorld service to existing provider “Connected Services Framework v3.0”. Also, I noticed that “Connected Services Framework v3.0” provider only contains Service Catalog core component end point, where as the documentation sa ...Show All

• nephsbirth2021 Thin client vs smart client

  We are moving from a VB6 to a .net world. We are about to finish our business components and now its time to start thinking about the UI. Well, there it comes the doubt: should we choose a smart client path or a thin client one We develop backoffice financial apps; they are used in several ways (users that operate it to process information, board of directors that access it just to analyse information, end customers that access it to get information on balance account etc). The chance to have someone using a non windows OS (accessing the system as client) is remote, but exists. If we choose a webbrowser client, then we would have to buy some good components (specially grid component and menus) that could "replicate" desktop exper ...Show All
