• Paul Mason What's replacement for Listings in Sharepoint 2007?

  Hi, I cannot find in Sharepoint 2007 anything similar to news listings in Sharepoint 2003. We used to publish news about most important published documents using Groupped Listing Web Part. I guess, now I can construct someting similar myself, creating my own content type and then displaying data by Content Query or so. I wonder, if somebody succeeded to upgrade from 2003 to 2007, what was genuine replacement for Listings, what's there in place of listings at your new site Thanks a lot. ...Show All

• Aaron Sulwer best way to handle collections

  The scenario here is an object that has one or more collections and some of the object in those collection can in turn have collections themselves, kind like a tree. To give an example, think a Customer object, it contains a collection named Invoices. The Invoices Collection in turn contains an Items collection. Let's say each of these objects (Customer, Invoice, Item) has a corresponding table on a database that storages the properties. If I wanted to instantiate the objects from the Customer down. I will instantiate the Customer. Then get all the invoices for that customers and create the Invoices Collection. And for each invoice, I would get all the items for that invoice and create the Items collection. it would ...Show All

• TheQuietShadow Physical seperation of layers - business layer -> data layer?

  Hi Forum Does it make any sense to build a design that supports more than one physical seperation. I'm making a web application and I need to make it secure and scalable.

• Brandon Hawkins Issues With Delay Activity

  Has anybody had any success using the Delay activity within Visual Studio authored workflows Whenever I include a Delay activity in my workflows the workflow goes to sleep and never wakes up. If I listen for a Delay activity along with other events inside a Listen activity, I find that the other events (for example, OnTaskChanged) cause the workflow to be rehydrated as expected but the Delay activity does not. It doesn't seem to make any difference what the TimeoutDuration is set to or whether it's set statically in the designer or dynamically inside an InitiializeTimeoutDuration method. Does anyone have some sample code with Delay activities working correctly I am having the same issue with this ... d ...Show All

• Summoner where can I find an example of requirement document for some small project example

  And also, if there is any place with examples of software documents for all developement phases (use case example, class diagram, sequence diagram example, requirement document example) just to understand how we use that in real business. I would appreciate. Thank you You could have a look at this url: http://www.extremeprogramming.org They describe one method that can be used to design and build a project, but the design bit is not very detailed. You could also have patiente (not sure how much ) and keep track of my weblog ( http://jonaveen.spaces.live.com ) and I will elaborate on this in the near future. any project example that takes me step by step with examples of all the phas ...Show All

• learneroob critique requested on thin Data Access Layer

  I have devised a way to save tons of code by calling stored procs with a single web service method, which takes a DataSet parameter, containing a DataTable with the name of the stored procedure and column names matching the parameter names, and row(0) contents matching the values to be passed. I have further simplified matters by making all parameters varchar, so a call from my client looks like: Dim paramVals As String() = { myString1, myString2 } Dim ds As DataSet = oneWsMethod("storedProcName", "param1,param2", paramVals) ... Dim params As String() = { this1String, thisOtherstring, thirdString } ds = oneWsMethod("anotherProc", "p1,p2,p3", params, usingTransaction:=True) My o ...Show All

• Bernhard Huemer Server getting intimation of disconnection while file is downloaded from client side

  I have a problem, There is a file being transferred to an .Net application via HTTP protocol by a J2EE web application. Now I want to trap the client disconnection event at Server Side if Download fails from client side. I have thought some approaches but not fully satisfied with those: 1. Just open a separate thread from client that will tell the server periodically that client is alive, till file gets transferred. 2. Server should ping the client periodically, if client is available, but this would be a violation of HTTP protocol. In case 1 ,  I would have to make a service or exceutable on client side which i would like to attempt as the last case. I would like client to be just using webbrowser.

• GoDaddy How to listen to a web service for a message receive.

  Is it possible to listen to a webservice (WS) when a message is received by the WS. Thanks, Sailu The web service processes "messages" by default. Could you be more specific with your question One thing you can do is implement an ISAPI filter to intercept the calls another option is to implement a gateway so that a front web-service will get called and it would dispatch the call to the intended webservice and to whatever other listener you want Arnon Consider the case where you have two independent objects that need to process the same message, but neither should know about the other's existence, because they could be independently deployed. Current WS implementations and tools do a lousy j ...Show All

• swiego Call Logging System

  Hi, I am thinking about making a small call logging system to use on our Helpdesk. The Helpdesk system will be used to log client jobs. Work is then completed by Engineers, narrated (in the system), and then passed back to the helpdesk to follow up. Engineers will need access to this Helpdesk system from outside the company. Firstly, I am not really sure where I should start, so if you have, or know of, any online resources I could have a look at that would probably be good for a start. Secondly, I am not sure if I should be building a web application (Web Site) or windows application (Project). I know this is a very high level view of what I am trying to accomplish, but your advice/suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks, ...Show All
