• JeffK_ don to not use "Inheritance"

  Have anyone try to design with no Inheritance at all I think *Inheritance* is not good as we think. It's force us to somthing we don't need, It's ok in some cases that better to be solved with no need to it. what do you think regards, dotHuman. pyeung wrote: Inheritance does have its place in OOP. When an class is "a-type-of" another class, it is easier to use inheritance. Example is as follows: You have an application for a Club House. The club has Gold, Silver, Ordinary and Child members. It is better to create a Member Class (usually an abstract class) and to inherit Gold, Silver, Ordinary and Child members from Member Class. Some people may argue that interfac ...Show All

• David Jehring How are you gnerating application definitions?

  Hello All, I am just cusrious to know how are you guys generating your application definitions in BDC by hand or using one of the tools out there to auto generate that scary XML file I am unable to find a tool which gives me the ability to include stored procedures in my app def instead of pure tables or views Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot Frank, My take on this is 1) Microsoft have always stated that there is a significant market for partners to develop value added tools for the MOSS platform. BDCMetaMan is one example. What they have done is provide a very good import routine that will identify exactly where in the XML you have problems. 2) If you create a lot of BDC met ...Show All

• nobodyman BPEL, XPDL and BPMN

  "BPEL is a standard which supports webservices and system to system applications workflow. For more of a human workflow, XPDL promoted by WFMC is the best." "BPMN is for modelling and supports both XPDL and BPEL. Simple BPEL based modelling tools for BPMS systems lacks a lot compared to BPMN based systems" Please provide me with your comments on the above statements. Also that, what standards are been followed in WF. Regards " We are in talks with partners to add BPMN modeling for WF" Are there any partners that have currently done this to date Can you provide your thoughts about approaching a BPMN to XOML conversion given a BPMN modeler tool for which the out ...Show All

• bilalso VM memory allocation for WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007

  I've been running a WSS 3.0 server with 2G RAM in a Vmware Server Virtual Machine in a DMZ connected to a SQL 2000 database server. How much RAM should I allocate to the VM and to the server as a whole, realistically, for "snappy" performance for 100+ users Performance is very key for our users and perception matters compared to other web sites we run/use. Should I just allocate 1 to 2G for the VM per the guidelines, or if I just make it a WFE does it need as much Not sure yet how well this product performs. I hope SharePoint is not considered too "bloated" and most would say it's mostly lean and effecient as far as web applications go. Thanks for any advice. Hi, ...Show All

• SuperJeffe Designing multi-company databases

  I'm designing a website that can be used by multiple companies. It seems that there are two options: 1) The set of tables used by a company is owned by that company. This implies a database per company. This allows each company to upgrade individually but could cause managment problems with having many databases. 2) Use only one database but place a company ID column on each table. This implies only one database for the entire website but restricts companies from being able to upgrade independantly. Are there any other options besides the two listed above If not then which option do you think would be the best Certainly both approaches are feasable (and there's a third one); a lot depends ...Show All

• FreddieCode dormant task escalation

  Hi everyone, I have what seems to be a simple task that I can't seem to figure out. So I have the textbook SharePoint createTask -> what for it to change throught the onTaskChanged Activity within a While Loop -> Complete Task. The above is working perfectly. The problem is that I want to have the capability to escalate the task to another party if it takes, say longer than 5 days. This is contained within a sequential workflow and I would like to keep it that way, but I'm open to converting it to a state machine if that's what needs to happen. So my question is: what's the best approach to going about this Thanks, rnellis2002 Use Listen activity, put you whole task sequence ( ...Show All

• kiwicoder2 Worklow association to Content Type by CODE

  I am facing with a problem when I tried to associate a workflow to a Content Type through code. I want to create a Content Type that has a workflow associated to it. Later on when users can add this Content Type to their libraries, the document inside libraries can initate this workflow. I have done all the SPWorkflowAssociation bit and have done the ContentType.AddWorkflowAssociat ion(association) stuff. Everything seems to be working ok. I then added the Content Type to a newly created Document Library. And then I newed a document with that Content Type, the document item has a Workflows button (from the pull down menu)--this leads me to think that the Workflow has been successfully associated to the Content Type. But when I ...Show All

• pjencyjoy Business Data Catalog / View Applications/ Applications / Change Setting is not present

  When you select a "Shared Services" "business data catalog" and then select "View Application", and then select a listed BDC Application, you are supposed to, according to some online MOSS demos, be able to see a selection for "Change Setup", so that you can modify the application. On both of my MOSS 2007 servers the "Change Setup" selection is not present Can someone, please, tell me why my configuration is different than the MOSS demo presenters, and how can I change my system so that I will see the "Change Setup" selection on the dropdown list when I click on the BDC Application. bighamp100, Changes to the application are performed ...Show All

• Bruce Bukovics I can't see Edit Page in Site Actions in Add New Item

  Hi I want to customize the add new item so when the user tries to add a new item I will need to display a specific value in one of the columns (description column for example). But the problem when I go to Add new item (add new task for example), then I click on Site Actions, I can't see Edit Page. Any idea please 2/ Do you think that it s a good approach to use a web part in order to automatically assign a value to one of the columns in the add new item page Thanks a lot. There is a good chance that the problem you are facing is due to the fact that the page is currently checked out.  You can determine this by clicking "Site Actions and show Page Editing Toolbar"  That will tell you who currently has the page check ...Show All

• Furqan Farooqui How can I get "Dynamic Help" for "Microsoft.SharePoint.dll", from within Visual Studio 2005 ?

  I do not know but maybe you will get that help automatically if you are able to install "Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Tools: Visual Studio 2005 Extensions" . However, I am using Windows XP, and therefore can not install the above extension, but instead I have to copy and use a reference to the dll file "Microsoft.SharePoint.dll", as described in the "Walkthrough: Creating a Basic SharePoint Web Part". My question is how can I configure the Dynamic Help in Visual Studio 2005, so that when I for example click at the class "Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite" in the Visual Studio Editor, then the documentation for SPSite will be accessible through a link in the Dynamic Help window of Visual Studio ...Show All

• stuntpope Routing Messages synchronously to services

Which class is used to hold response of TResponse SendSync<TResponse> (message) when we want to route manifest to services through Session Web service. We have been able to send messages to services asynchronously.

• Carl Tribble How to customize DispForm for Document Library

  Is it possible to customize DispForm for Document Library I cannot see display form in Supporting Files tab at Document Library properties window. If I create new display form, how to replace default form with it. Hi Ir_Vin, Open your Site with SharePoint-Designer. Double-Click your Document-Library. Double-Click Forms. Double-Click your DispForm.aspx. Make your changes (e.g. attach to another Masterpage) save (Yes, save to Site-Definition) Ready. Hope this helps Ronny You are correct, the tab does not display it. I think you will have to just change the existing one. And since SPD doesnt show it in the folder list, you will have to ope ...Show All
