• R1ZWAN 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

• helen369331 Is there some particular if I set IsVolatile to ture Value?

  I don't know the different... [UdfMethod(IsVolatile = true)] public double MyDouble(double d) { return d * 9; } [UdfMethod] public double MyDouble(double d) { return d * 9; } any suggestion IsVolatile=true tells Excel Services that calling the method with the same parameters may yield different results. This in turn makes it possible for you to have methods that (usually) rely on external events or information and have Excel recalculate them. I will give you an example. Say you have a method that does currency conversions. It returns how many Israeli Shequels a Dollar is worth. Now, if the method was not marked as volatile, Excel Services would never bother to recalc ...Show All

• Diegota what's the best way to capture relating one table to many other tables

  Say I have four tables: 1. people 2. products 3. images each of which can be joined in a 1 to many relationship with a fourth table 4. notes I can add n notes to each row in any of the above tables. The options of which I am aware: a) have a separate notes table for each of the 3 tables (peoplenotes, productsnotes... etc.). b) create a join table for each relationship: peopletonotes (with a compound key of peopleid and noteid), etc. c) in the notes table create a generic foreignkey which along with a tabletype can tell you which is the right parent table notes table has: noteid, foreignkeyid, tabletype (which can be either: 'people', 'products' or 'images'), so you might have two rows in notes: noteid ...Show All

• dabd Programmatically Start Workflow built using SharePoint Designer

  Hi, I have a very interesting problem. I have created a workflow using Sharepoint designer against a List on my Sharepoint site. (With Workflow start options as Start Manually and Start on item Change) I have installed this workflow on this list.

• Tonton888 WebDav access to Doc Library

  Don't know if this is the best place to post this or not, but I have a question about what happens when the WebClient service is restarted on my Windows Server 2003 SP1 machine. I'm using the Windows 2003 SP1 server as a client, and am trying to copy files from the file system into a document library on SPS 2003 (hosted on another machine). I've noticed this odd behavior... The WebClient service's startup type was set to Manual after I finished installing windows. If I start the service and try to access the document library via webdav (Start - Run \\servername\path\path\libName , or via code like below) everything works fine. If I restart the WebClient service I can no longer access any webdav resources (even though the service star ...Show All

• Andrew Lytchev Data Exchange

  We need to exchange our customer data with an external partner on a daily basis. This data is highly confidential. This size of the data will be around 1GB. The data format is unicode. What will be the best way to exchange the information 1 GB a day Are you sure you need that much data Is some of it redundant Trimming down the amount might open up some other possibilities. My initial thought would be a program, probably a Windows Service working off a schedule, that would extract the data from SQL Server into an XML file into a very limited access folder, encrypt it, and then call a web service on the other end to upload it. Then, on the receiving end, have a Windows Service applicatio ...Show All

  I can’t seem to find a way to automatically rout a workflow task to a user’s manager using the person’s "manager" value from Active Directory.

• stang4lyfe Document Library Web Part -> link to DispForm.aspx

  Hi there. I'm trying to solve a problem that appeared when I tried to create a simple page with the list of documents from my document library. I need Title field displayed as a hyperlink to DispForm.aspx, not to Document itself, and not to a dropdown menu with Edit option. The reason of this requirement is that we don't like to allow users to download document w/o reading metadata assosiated with it. On the other hand, ordinary user must not see Edit links in menu, because we don't want to tempt them to try edit document at all. Of course, I can customize the data view in Sharepoint Designer - go to Code View and manually change <xsl:value-of select="@FileRef "/> to something like ..../dispform.aspx ID=<xsl:value ...Show All
