• Kamii47 Cannot upload a .exe file to a sharepoint site.

  Hi, I am unable to upload an exe file to a site created using MOSS 2007. Inspite of removing .exe from the list of blocked files in Central Administrator, I still cannot upload a exe file. How do i upload a .exe file Any information on this will be appritiated.. Thanks in advance, Regards, Sunit Pinto Executables should still go on the network and not in SharePoint. SharePoint is for documents / data. File shares are still for executables IMHO. Probably the easiest way is to just zip up the file. SPS was not really meant to replace a file share so things like exe files are better left off of it. I believe Mike Fitzmaurice has a blog entry about just this type of thing. ...Show All

• tattoo where to put the generic code to check for browser language?

  We are building a website in three languages English, Spanish and German. On every web page that is being accessed by the user we need to check the language of the browser to retrieve the correct data.

• Chris Du Need a bit of help getting My Site functionality to work

  Hi all. I have installed MOSS 2007 enterprise in a simple-server farm mode using a SQL 2005 backend. It appears I have everything else working except the My Site functionality. When I click on My Site, I get: Your personal site cannot be created because Self-Service Site Creation is not enabled. Contact your site administrator for more information. So then I enable Self-Service Site Creation for the web app that is hosting the My Site service and try again. This time I receive: There has been an error creating the personal site. Contact your site administrator for more information. I have the SSP set up so that the admin site is on one web app on a port other than 80, and the My Site is on a different web app at p ...Show All

• BobTheBuild 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 Hi, It's good in case you will not get new types for example offshoreStaff ! For the sake of extensibility, you just can create a ...Show All

• lawrieg Any way to retrieve original SOAP action?

  When a message gets processed by the Session Engine, the original SAOP action gets lost. For example, consider the following route (borrowed from the Intercept example) <Route> <Criteria>(ACTION EQ 'http://www.contoso.com/intercept/AddResponse')</Criteria> <Destination>UIParticipant[http://www.contoso.com/SampleServices/RouteResponse]</Destination> </Route> In the resulting SOAP call to the UIParticipant, the original action (AddResponse) is never mentioned. Is there a way to retrieve this original action and why isn't this provided Almost all other information (OriginalFrom, OriginalMessagId) is provided in the wsa:From > wsa:ReferenceProperties xml element... ...Show All
