• Matt_br User Aware Service

  I have an SDP Platform setup which has some services available. I am creating a new service (Service1) which has to maintain its own set of users and has a custom Token Manager which validates the request with this user set. The users can be mapped easily from the platform with the Identity manager. Now Service1 has some methods which extract information for a particular user using the userId present in Service1. There are two ways of getting the userId from the SDP Platform 1. In my service method I extract the information from the SOAP header (WS: Security) and use it. 2. Instead of having the service to extract info header, I introduce an interceptor for the service which can extract information from header and provide it as a ...Show All

• HMote Modifying search results in a search webpart

  Hi, I have a task where I need to display first 200 characters of my search result's content. I have a custom webpart that takes care of all the search and paging. I use HitHighlightedSummary field in my search query but it extracts only the content arround keywords and not the begining of the file (ASPX for instance). Is it actually possible to specify what part of the document i want to display, maybe crawling configuration I have seen this feature implemented on some websites, but default search that is built into the system appears to use HitHightlightedSummary. Any ideas, I would really appreciate any help. Hi, How about displaying the description property in the xslt of the search core results webpart instead o ...Show All

• GSK_phili O/R Mapping

  O/R mapping is quite interesting.  I would like to post this question for discussion. I have the following classes: Employee, FullTimeStaff, PartTimeStaff, etc.  FullTimeStaff and PartTimeStaff have many attributes and behaviors in common and also many other unique attributes and behaviors.  So, FullTimeStaff inherits from Employee and PartTimeStaff also inherits from Employee. Do you think it is good to map both FullTimeStaff and PartTimeStaff to a single table called Employee (the table contains an extra field to identity whether he is full time or part time) in the database Pranshu, there is a big problem with that kind of methods (having one table for each class). You have a great OO design and a bad data d ...Show All

• Mike Brown where to store a unique ID?

  Hello,   I want to store a unique ID to use in a webpart. In a aspx page I would do it with a database field and a stored procedure, but with webparts i don't know. I want to give all my documents a unique ID, but not use the ID from sharepoint itself. Thank you. So it is possible then to connect to the database and put the unique ID there in my webpart Thx. Thank you. So the idea is to create a class that overrides the ItemAdded event, and then later on connect the document library's ItemAdded event to that... and by making a new class I can then make a connection to the database and store my unique number in there... If I'm wrong please ...Show All

• HowardRichards Architectural Considerations for Auditing

  We are building an application which connects to two kinds of database viz. one is a local database store and other is located at a central server. Now to perform auditing for every transaction I am of the opinion to do auditing at the database level. Implement it as part of trigger insertion into an audit table. Reason being its simple to implement and maintain. My Database Architect is against the idea and wants me to handle auditing at the application level. Would appreciate your viewpoints and guidance on this. Thanks Sai Hi Sai, Your database architect is right on one scenario: If you are using your DB as just a dumb storage mechanism, then its OK. However if you have already-running Store ...Show All

• fscarpa58 How to Programmatically Access Wiki Content

  I want to write some code that spiders my wiki and consolidates the content into a single document. I know that I can create a view that has a similar effect, however, there is no effective way to sort the view in a logical order, i.e. if I spider I can go from page to page in the same order the document is laid out.

Thank you ps. i have looked at "Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies Resource Kit" but with out any luck. Assuming that by good looking reports, you mean when printed, not much can touch Access for ease of use and functionality.

• SemionNaidis Database Views and ORM?

  Hello everyone, Perhaps someone can provide some direction for the problem that I face. We're building a standard web-based, 3-tier enterprise application using our own light-weight object-relational mapping layer. Serveral web pages have been identified for optimization in our system, as it has been shown that they recieve a lot of user traffic, and they all contain a fair number of complex gridviews. On each page-load, there is a lot of database contention as it pulls out the necessary data and builds the domain object graph. For example, a number of the gridviews display data from entities nested within other entities, which results in a lot of lazy-loading going on behind the scenes. I would like to optimize some of the grid views on t ...Show All

• Rainz How do files and file-media types get recognised?

  Hello there, This is somewhat a fundamental Windows architectural question but I cant seam to find ANY information about it on the Internet. I have begun messing around with Codec/DMO development (DirectX Media Object). My question is this: How do applications in Windows find out how to use a certain file type and file Media Type. I specifically want to know how the internal mechanisms in e.g. Windows Media Player or Winamp or any other player negotiates with Windows to find out what kind of media-type I’m trying to play. It’s tricky because if say we have an XVID file which normally have an .AVI extension – I can rename the file “filename.wdsfo324r312”, and then force Windows Media Player to play it – and it STILL knows ...Show All
