• Spenceee How to specify particular MOSS site using Lists.GetListItems?

  This must be a stupid question since I can't find any answers out there: How should I specify the location of the list (document library) used in Lists.GetListItems Even though all MOSS sites have a _vti_bin/Lists.asmx, I'm assuming I should always use the generic http://servername/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx to connect since adding sites as a web reference would require hard-coding. Also, if I try the hard-coding method, I still can't figure it out. I'm also assuming that Document Libraries are lists too and can be accessed this way. All the examples suggest just the list name: listService.GetListItems( "Our Documents", null, ndQuery, ndViewFields, null, ndQueryOptions, null); I've tried this with every ...Show All

• Saurabh Kulkarni Creating a new SPSite: ValidateFormDigest() Failing

  Hi Background first: We're upgrading our intranet from Sharepoint 2k3 to MOSS. Part of the functionality that we had was to allow the creation of a new site within the Sharepoint Portal from within MCRM via a web service call to a home built Web Service that was built against the Microsoft.SharePoint namespace and invoked that object model to create the new site. Since the upgrade to MOSS I've recreated the web service as a .NET 2.0 implementation built against the latest version of the Microsoft.SharePoint assembly. We lookup the VirtualServer that we're interested in and pull its' sites collection. We then attempt to use the SPSiteCollection.Add(String, String ...Show All

• Auris Extending list with custom field

  Hi everybody, I want create a scheduling resource application with calendar lists and maintain all its functionality . To do it, I have extended the calendar list with a custom field . This custom field takes the fields value StartDate and DueDate to calculate which resources are free. The problem is that I cannot access to this values in edition mode (the custom field only can access to the field value of the item, not to the control). The only solution I see is include this fields in my custom field, but I can’t use a SPFieldMultiColumnValue because I cannot do queries over the list because it stores field value with the format "column one value#;column two value#;column three value". Has anyone any idea how solve ...Show All

• Murilo Rodrigues Web Part with Listbox Textbox and Button

  I have a user control in a web part that contains an asp textbox, an asp button ('search button') and an asp listbox. I need to enable the user to do the following: 1) double-click on an item in the listbox, copy the value of the selected item into the textbox, and perform the asp button's on-click, (as if they clicked the button to run C# code-behind), or 2) enter a value into the textbox and click on the button. The second one is easy, but I cannot seem to figure out how to do the first one. I can't seem to use javascript to copy the selected item's value to the textbox because the form is not in the web part (can't use document.forms[0].mytextbox.value). I know how to have the double-click on the listbox item call ja ...Show All

• The Samster Database Design

  Hi All, I need some advice and reference on database design. The database my application uses will have many tables, each with many columns. Most of the columns store data generated automatically by the application, and the data could be regenerated and overwritten by the app when necessary. However, I want to have the ability to let user overwrite the values through UI, so the app would not overwrite them. This is similar to the Tax software, where you can overwrite almost anything. What is the best design for this Thanks in advance. Regards, Q This is more of an application design than the database design. You define your database, whatever way you want - ma ...Show All

• Manuk User registeration

  Is there a way of making a username and password registration Example: Something like hotmail, where users register to get access to the site. Depends on which version of SharePoint you are using and, if using SharePoint 2007, which authentication provider you want to use. Basically there are ways of doing this using AD, SQL, or most any other authentication method but the process of doing so is really out of the scope of this newsgroup. ...Show All

• Lawrence Liu - MSFT Display images from AD on the SharePoint site (searchresults and profiles/mysite)

  Is it possible - out of the box - to display the images stored in our Active Directory on the MySite/Profiles pages and the searchresults I know it's possible in SPS2003, but it doesn't look quite the same in MOSS 2007. I havn't put much research in it, but if anyone has got an idea I'd be most greatful. Thanks! http://blog.henryong.com/2007/02/21/importing-user-pictures-from-active-directory-to-moss-2007/ Bump... We are interested in this also. Well that's when your images is saved on disc, and stores the link in AD right Our actual images are stored binary in the AD. What I'm wondering is if there's a way to extract that image and display I know ...Show All

• Garrett - MSFT Enabling Site Collection Usage Statistics in MOSS

  So, I wanted to view the Site Usage reports on my development VM after reading a post by Joel Oleson . I went to SharePoint Central Administration > Operations > Usage Analysis Processing. I enabled the logging there. Following the further instructions, I then enabled logging for MOSS. This is in SharePoint Central Administration > Shared Services > Usage reporting. I then went to view the usage for my site collection (Site Actions > Site Collection Usage Reports). I was prompted for my username and password 3 times, which was puzzling. It looked like the HTTP Basic authentication dialog. After that I got a page saying "Service Unavailable". Worse, when I tried going back to my site, I got the same message. Che ...Show All

• Arkcann 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.

• chris441962 if not to use session variables then what

  Hi Everybody, I have question which comes to mind of nearly everybody who is designing a webapplication in .net. I wish to store some user related data across the webpages in a Asp.net website. Since the data is big, i don't wish to use session variables to store that. So where should i store it One thing i want to make clear here that i don;t want to use cookies(now i think i am becoming too selfish :) ). Somebody told me of making a class static but i don't know whether it is a feasible solution for a webapplication .IF somebody knows about this ,kindly let me know with some code for direction. Some other people say that we should persist the class which is holding the data. I don't know how to do it, might be by serial ...Show All
