• darrell0101 Single location to view All documents in different document libraries

  Hi, We have the following requirement: MOSS users want to have one place (it could be Links list or document library or a custom web part) where they can see all new content published to some specific document libraries. These document libraries could be in a single site or across multiple sites. Q. Is there any out-of-the-box feature available that I can use to achieve the above At present, I'm thinking of the following two solutions .. don't know how much they are feasible, so looking for your opinions 1. Is it possible to have some custom search property for document library. I can save a search (in my links) where document library custom property is one of the required doc libraries. This would at least show all the d ...Show All

• jackline 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

• JohDas When should I create another instance?

  If I have a loop and I have to use another object each time I iterate. Should I instantiate this object for each step, or should I instantiate it outside the loop By doing it outside the loop I might have some problems concerning getting "ghost" information from the previous iteration. But, by doing it inside the loop (for each step) I would slow down the whole algorithm, besides consuming more memory... Any opinion on this Could you instead take what is needed within the loop and expose that as a static method on the other object That way it is stateless by design and the creation of an object is not required. Hi, I didn't got the answer yet. if i am using c# 2.0, should we instantiate the variable inside ...Show All

• dave2000 Migration to server farm and upgrade to V3 failing prescan

  I'm moving our SharePoint services sites from a MSDE single server solution to a server farm. We want to have the ability to search and the new features available in V3. The migration has worked so far. Config and content databases were attached to a SQL2005 server. SharePoint front end installed on a new server. Everything came up ok. Still no search though. All the sites are working properly! I'm trying to decide to fix search first then upgrade, or upgrade and hope search is enabled. Prescan failed on the existing single server setup and when doing a prescan on the newly setup V2 sites, I get the following error: Z:\>prescan /all System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type System.Security.Perm ...Show All

• jeje1g Welcome!

     Welcome to this new forum, which is part of the SharePoint forums group that contains a comprehensive set of forums designed to cover all aspects of SharePoint Products and Technologies. I’ve held off on having these forums created for over a year because we already had a handful of newsgroups in place, but the benefits (search, moderation, filtering, stats, flexibility, planned enhancements, etc.) and the recent surge in usage have convinced me that it’s finally the right time to embrace forums as the de facto channel for community Q&A and discussion .      This particular forum is for topics about the Business Data Catalog (BDC) capabilities in Office SharePoint Server.

• Ratheesh*MCP* Mobile Form view new button

  When viewing the InfoPath document library on a mobile device, there is no button to add a new form even though the form is mobile enabled. If I copy the URL used by the browser to add a new form and change the aspx page to mobileformsserver.aspx instead then I can open and add a new form so everything works apart from a New button. I would like to create a libraries for mobile users to submit new forms that then follow and internal workflow process. Have I missed a setting somewhere or have I got to build a new mobile document library view. Perhaps the permission of the mobile device is only to view the library. Try to verify which user creditials are being used and then look at the library permissions. ...Show All

• ahmedilyas Polymorphism and API design

  I want to build an event logging class that allows a client to log messages. Windows Event Log and Xml files are the initial storage types I'd like to provide first, adding Database storage later. My question is regarding building an installer class that would prepare the chosen log type. Ideally I would like the developer using the API to be able to do this: LogInstaller objLogInst = new LogInstaller( LogType.Xml | LogType.EventLog /*[Flags]enum ... */ ); objLogInst.Install(); The missing piece here is, of course, the parameters needed for each type of install (e.g. FilePath, AppName, etc...). I know I'll need an installation class for each type of logging the client will want to install (e.g. Xml, EventLog, etc...). I'll also need ...Show All

  Hi - I'm running Sharepoint Services 3.0 and am seeing 3 different errors logged every single minute - IDs 6398, 7076, and 6482. Searches on these IDs have shown that other users are seeing them for different reasons. They all have to do with a "lack of storage" somewhere.

• a_takavci show a progress bar while web part is loading..

  Hi, How do I display a 'progress bar' while a web part is loading in WSS v3 Something similar to loading the following page - http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/sharepoint/forums/default.aspx Secondly, does the web part loading process happen asynchronously (without impacting the rendering of rest of the page/other web parts ).
