• howard dierking - MSFT multi documents and one email notificiation

  How would I put several documents in the same workflow I can get one to work fine, but if I have 10 docs I don't want to have to send 10 e-mail notifications. Anyone know how to put more than on doc routing in an e-mail thanks in advance bill riggs Not easily. I did something similar, but I didn't put multiple documents in one workflow - that looked too hard. Instead, I used multiple workflows (1 per document) and sent a single email. You'll have to build some sort of persistence mechanism to store 'messages' (an email contains many 'messages') that are waiting to be sent in an email. If you're not sending them at once (one at a time), they will need to wait. Then, you'll need to wri ...Show All

• DouglasL Query on Entity Design

  There are times when one might have to load 2 entities out of which only few fields might be required from the second entity in that particular screen. For example I could have a customer entity and an order entity. In an order capture screen I would require the order entity and few fields of the customer entity say name, address.. So the question is for a few fields of customer entity does it make sense to load the entire entity.. This would make even more cause of concern if the corresponding entity has many child entity collections in it. For example one customer would have multiple address, contact numbers and so on. I presonally feel that no matter who little or more one uses the entity, the entire entity needs to be loaded because ...Show All

• Polity4h 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

• hazz 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.

• cereyan Question on Custom Entities

  I have a scenario wherein the UI talks to Service layer --> Business Layer --> Data Layer and fetches data and passes along the layer via custom entities. Typically when we retrieve records it would as a set of entities inside an entity collection or should I say an array of entities. Now when I update a particular entity in the entity collection I either have the option of sending the entire entity collection or just extract out the updated entity and send the same across the layers to be updated in the database. Looking apparently, it would suggest sending only the updated entity instead of the entire entity collection bcos its always best to pass small size data across the layers. Is this analogy correct or is there some scena ...Show All

• nickwilliams Scheduling Job in a Web Farm

  Hello, I have a farm of .NET servers. The application also needs scheduled jobs - like sending reports / notifications periodically. The question is - what is the best way to schedule this job I want the same set of software to run on all machines - so that if in case one machine goes down, the other is able to run the scheduled job. The options I am considering: 1) making them SQL Server jobs ( which are failed over in a cluster), but these jobs need resources available on the .NET servers, and I donot think that opening a backward connectivity from DB to App would be the best way. 2) To have some kind of a lock in the database, and schedule the job on all the machines in windows scheduler. The one which wakes up first, gets the l ...Show All
