• Jademobile abstract vs interface

  hi everybody, In my current application,ther is a common fucntionality(method) which can change frequently. Should i use the abstract class or the interface to put the signature of the method (no body )inside. The answer which comes in my mind is interface but then why can't we use abstract instead by just giving the signature of method in the abstract class. Do interfaces or abstract differ in how much memory they consume and also in the performance of the application. Please elaborate on what is to be used prefably in which scenarios as i read many articles but none of them gives indepth knowledge. Regards You are right in thinking that you need to use interface here. Interface is all ...Show All

• Fabriciom Visio - Database Object owner

  So, I'm using Visio for Enterprise Architects and I am starting to forward-engineer my schema into a SQL Server 2000 database. Visio has set the owner of all of my object as my windows login name. Visio has disabled the "Owner" text box on all of my objects. It isn't greyed out or anything, but it won't allow me to type a new owner, like "dbo". I have a little stored proc that will run through all of my objects to change the owner, but it would be nice if I could do this myself in Visio. Any thoughts ...Show All

• Chris Ghali section numbering column for wiki?

  We have been experimenting with SharePoint for collaborating on application design, specs, etc. Since we have a geographically distributed team, the wiki style is very helpful. However, we have a business requirement to be able to extract the spec into a single printable/emailable document. As a short term hack, I created a custom column called Section Number and manually filled it in. Then I created a new view of all documents ordered by section number. As a long term solution, I need two enhancements to this: 1. Somehow suggest values for the Section Number column. Say I have a page hierarchy that looks like this. Home 000000 Functional Specs 010000 Client App 010100 Use Case 1 010101 Use Case 2 010102 ...Show All

• Bryan Kardisco Detecting internal calls in business object without using TLS or overloaded internal method

    Hi Forum I have the following problem. I need to know whether a call to a business object was made from another business object or directly from the UI. I need this because of Security and Logging reasons. Security - Users might not have permission to call the method on a business object. But another business object might need to call it. - But it's the same method :( Logging - I often want to log when a user performs an action. Another business object might also perform that action but then I don't what to log it. But it is the same method. ;( The best solution I have found is to make an internal version of the method with parameters. Like this: public class BusinessObject{ &n ...Show All

• Liquid-Crystal Design Question about an "actor" in a use case

  Hi there, 1/do Actors in use case refer only to humans or can they also refer to objects like Account, Phone, Invoice.... Or is an actor strictly a human who performs action in the system 2/ is here the right place to ask questions about design, uml..etc or is there another place in this forum Thank you http://www.agilemodeling.com/artifacts/useCaseDiagram.htm thanks a lot for giving me the tip that i can have off-topic discussion Hi, 1. An actor is either a person or something that interacts with the system (for example - an external system that sends requests). An Account is more of a business entity than an actor. 2.

• Matthijs Koopman SPListItem.moveTo() throws an exception

  Hi! We're having problems with the method SPListItem.moveTo(). In our project, a InfoPath 2003 document is created and published to a SharePoint Services 3.0 form library (called "Antrag"). Afterwards, it is modified using a workflow that runs inside the Workflow Foundation and was developed using Visual Studio. This workflow makes some changes to the XML document (sets the status, creates new subforms, etc.) and stores it successfully into another SharePoint library (called "Antrag_Temp"). There, special permissions are set to enable different users to access the form. Afterwards, the document is moved back into the original library: Dim mst As New MemoryStream Dim sFilename_1 As String = it.ParentList.Title & &q ...Show All

• C.Hoffmann MySite masterpage

  Hi All, On MOSS2007: I'm trying to change the default masterpage for mySites. I tried to edit the default.aspx in the 12/templates/sitetemplates/spspers folder, but I can't seem to let it point to another master ... as soon as I change the masterfile path, the page breaks. Any ideas on what's the best approach to link up my mySites with a custom masterpage Fred Once you've got the Mysites using your custom master page, you have to update the file on the server not in SharePoint designer or the SharePoint master page library as this only changes the one site. All of the MySites will be using a ghosted version of the one on the server hard disk You have to modify the default.aspx file in SPSPers to use Custo ...Show All

• Igor B. Customizing summary alerts

  We have a wiki page with a few updates a day. People setup the alert to get a daily summary of the changes. In this summary email, most changes (new pages, updated pages) are just displayed with title, modified, and modified by columns. Only a very few are also displayed with the wiki content of the page.

• ng4s List of All SharePoint Sites (Site Directory not enough)

  I need to get a report of all sites created within our SharePoint site. I tried the Site Directory, but I know there are some missing here, because you have the option of *not* including it in the directory when you create it. How do I get to this information Thanks, Jen Look at the stsadm enumsites command in the SharePoint bin directory, it will give you a list of all the site collections and owners. stsadm -o enumsites -url http://webappname Try stsadm -o enumsites -url http://webappname This will give you a list of site collections and owners.
