• shade29450 How to call HelloWorld service with parameters ?

  Hi, we are trying to extend the HelloWorld sample. The webservice currently has one function HelloWorld, which returns back a string value. But, what if we modify this HelloWorld service, to accept some parameters also, as below: [WebMethod] public string HelloWorld ( string parameter ) { return parameter; } while making a call, we would write < Route > < Criteria > (ACTION EQ 'http://tempuri.org/HelloWorld') </ Criteria > < Destination > HelloWorldParticipant[http://tempuri.org/HelloWorld parameter="Hello World"] </ Destination > </ Route > But this does not work. Any idea on how to call webservice from ...Show All

• StarsFire To use Typed Datasets or custom business objects in BLL ?

  I am starting to get a handle on the whole DAL/BLL design strategy. It seems that there is a difference of opinion on whether to use typed datasets or custom business objects when passing data from the BLL to the UI. I recognize this and am trying to get some opinions on the best way to proceed. I am creating a small to medium size application for a small user group for the purposes of order entry. It will be a Winform app in VB 2005. I am somewhat new to this type of architecture decision. In my mind I seem to be leaning to the use of datasets because it is well documented and at my proficiency level, it seems like the best way. They also support SQL stored procedures which I am comfortable with. Then I just bind the UI components t ...Show All

• shwaindog Transaction across Applications

  HI, We have a Web application that consists of a Sharepoint web site with ASP.NET pages as web parts. In the admin module of the application, we have a provision to add a user. On adding a user through the application, the user is added in 3 places, namely in Active Directory (AD), SQL Server database and in Sharepoint database. All this is a part of ASP.NET code with no transaction happening through out the user creation. Now is there any way to impose a transaction in this process That is, until all three AD, Sharepoint and SQL Server databases are up and running and the creation of user happens with no errors, the new user must not be committed in all three databases. This is very critical as it causes inconsistency if the u ...Show All

• SSWebWorks Storing Session State

  We have been using SQL Server to store session state for a while. Now we are growing and looking for more scalable alternatives. It looks like there are three products on the market: ScaleOut, Ncache and StateMirror. Just wondering if anyone had any experience with any of these beasts. Roger, I assume you suggest using a simple partitioning approach when web farm is divided into several pools and each pool has a dedicated SQL Server for session management. The drawbacks are: 1. Potentially uneven load balancing. I must admit that the chances for this are very few, but still - this is not a 100% scalable model. 2. Single point of failure. I agree this maybe not a big deal for some deployments, but in ...Show All

• markm75c MySite (old)

  I just updated to MOSS 2007 from SPS 2003. When I click on MySite everything works fine, but when I'm working in it, I get the title MySite (old) up top that when clicked on goes back to the 2003 mysite. Any way I can remove that Do I just delete the Mysite site not the personal one. Thanks -Nick- I deleted the MySite....and it messed everying thing up. I am working on rebuilding the SSP to rebuild the mysites. That seems to be one of the quirks born from upgrading SPS 2003 to MOSS 2007. I haven't heard of any way around it. I haven't tried this but you might be able to delete that page from the user's site settings although it'll also probably delete all the information they had on that page. I have the exac ...Show All

• Jyothi G Accessing a SQL Server table using sql authentication as opposed to windows authentication

  I have created a pivot table based on a sql server 2005 relational DB connection, with the userid and password stored in the ODC (sql server authentication). The ODC is in the data connection library (DCL) and is approved. I created an Excel sheet with a pivot table based on the ODC. I can refresh this pivot table in Excel 2005, and I have deployed the sheet to the documents library. When accessing the sheet via Excel Services Web access, it displays properly, but refuses to refresh, errorring with : "Unable to retrieve external data for the following connections: xxxxx The data sources may be unreachable, may not be responding, or may have denied you access.

• ajpharrington Best way to set up employee directory in MOSS 2007

  I have uploaded our employee directory xls into a List easy enough. However, after upgrading from WSS 3.0 to MOSS 2007 Ent Trial, it looks like the best way would be to simply use my AD domain account list which I've configured to import under my SSP. I can now see my domain accounts info under my MySite page which is pretty cool - I like this feature. How can I simply get this domain account import to populate a List to be used as a user friendly company directory I would like it to look and function similar to the People & Places List where it's setup to automatically click the default picture placeholder graphic to pull the the employee's contact details and MySite link. I want to simply add a link to the Quick Launch or To ...Show All
