• Kirti Mistry SendSync and SendAsync methods

  MessageSender SendSync and SendAsync methods behave in somewhat different manner. Is there some constraints to sending sync or async messages to Session. My second question is that what are the things to check while using sync method as I face problems to get return parameter from sync messages. Hello - Yes the SendSync and SendAsync are designed to behave differently. One of the primary objectives behind this was to make sure the developer who writes the code implicitly understands that a message is being sent could be destined to go across process boundary or machine boundary which is sitting across the world and there is a latency involved in it. Besides that, this mechanism provides very simple mechanism to write cod ...Show All

• Tim Haynes HelloWorld Sample problem

• Rups11 Duplicate Submissions occur if refresh button is clicked

  My code has a custom webpart that submits to the content database. However, if the user manually refreshes the page after the submit button has been clicked but before the pages postbacks a duplicate entry is created. Any ideas on how to resolve this I am using Portal 2003. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a regular problem with any html form (nothing to do with sharepoint or .net as it were). One of the things you could try is redirect the user to another page (or even to the same page) using the Page.Response.Redirect method after you save the page. This will *break* the connection to the last post. ...Show All

• Aleksandar Petkovic 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

• Professor Mustard Objects with many child object relations - Need design help!

  Hello, First let me start by saying that I am just getting started with OOP and Domain driven design so please take it easy on me. I am designing a domain model that consists of PROJECT objects that can contain ISSUE objects that can contain other objects like NOTES and ATTACHMENTS. There will be times in which my application will need to populate each PROJECT object along with all related child objects. However, sometimes I just need to get a list of PROJECTS to fill a dropdown or list UI control. In this case I just need some basic PROJECT properties like name and ID. I think it would be too much overhead if I populated all child objects just to fill a list (especially if there are many PROJECTs). Shoud I create 2 separate PROJ ...Show All

• Loki70 Security Trimming - missing configuration?

  I have a new out of the box install of MOSS07 up and used it to crawl some legacy SP 2003 sites with Enterprise Search. The problem we're having is security trimming doesn't seem to be kicking in on the results - users are able to get links in the results page to items they don't have security access to (SP still prompts for credentials when the link to that resource is clicked). I have one domain security account as both application identity and primary crawl ID - this ID was given permission to the legacy SP content. The content is indexed but like I said everyone can see it regardless of rights to that resource. I'm having trouble finding articles on troubleshooting/configuring security trimming for MOSS07 - apparently it should w ...Show All
