• Kernel Panic documents per view

  Hi,   I have a webpart that shows me the nr of documents of a library that have a certain view. The user can enter a certain view, wicht exists for that library, and then it shows the # of documents that view has. If the view has a filter, and it shows 2 of the 3 documents of the library, then i want my result only 2. Now I can only make this happen if the user selects this view as the Current View, but I want this result also when the user has not selected this view as current. So what I actually try to achieve is when, in Sharepoint, you go to your Document Library, and choose on a certain view, i want the list of the documents that are in that view. Here's my code so far, does anybody have a clue Thanks in adva ...Show All

• kid_kaneda Associations

  Hi, I'm using the AdventureWorks BDC example to try to assiociate two entities. The example works, but when I do my modifications, I get the error "Could not find fields to insert all the Identifier Values to correctly execute an Association method." It's possible I've stared myself blind on this xml, but I am not able to find where the missing tags should go. This is my bdc app def: < xml version = " 1.0 " encoding = " utf-8 " standalone = " yes " > < LobSystem xmlns:xsi = " http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance " xsi:schemaLocation = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/03/BusinessDataCatalog BDCMetadata.xsd " Type = " Database " ...Show All

• yosonu 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 First of all, what do you mean by 'upgrade' Based on general assumptions, ...Show All

• Briantist Factory pattern question

  i am building a data access layer for some reports. this is a smart client application so the report data may be generated from a database or from a locally stored xml file, etc. i dont want my business layer to worry about how the data is retrieved. all my business layer should say is "get me the data! i don't care how! just get me it!". i thought that i could use a factory pattern - something like this: ReportFactory reportFactory = new ReportFactory(); IReport myReport = reportFactory.GetReport(StorageTypes.Database); DataTable dataTable = myReport.GetData(); ok. but in this scenario the database driven class needs some extra settings such as connection string. whereas the xml based report might need to know oth ...Show All

• Tarana Documenting a web site

  I have been given the assignment of documenting the entire site's navigation. They also want to see how and for what reason we would go to each page. I.e.., I need to add an event to an order. So I need to somehow display the interactions of each page to go through a process. This could entail several pages. So I thought that I could do Use Cases for this. My thinking was with Use Cases and Sequence Diagrams I could show the thought patterns to get from point A to point B. My boss tells me today they want to the site map(pages) and then something else to dictate different scenarios. My company is not very good at reading UML. In fact one other person bought UML in 24 hours. I however have read the entire OMG specifications, ...Show All

• P Colmer Apply changes after editing web part properties.

  What event do I trap to notify my web part of updated custom properties TIA Dave Or inherit from EditorPart for your custom editor and override CreateEditorParts() in the webpart. OK, looks like it hits the property accessors automatically. The other way looks like overriding the GetToolParts() method and inheriting from the "Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.ToolPart" class for your own customtoolpart. You can then override the ApplyChanges() and SyncChanges() methods. Dave ...Show All

• siaj Architecture for Notification based application

  I need to develop a notification based system in .Net. Basically as and when certain data gets updated, the client machine is informed about it. There would be a windows based application running across all these clients. One way I was thinking of was to have the clients poll the server for any updates at frequent intervals. Whenever the Server does an update it would post the update into a queue. Every client would poll the queue for any updates. Would like to know if this approach is alrite or suggest an alternative architecture. Thanks Sai I dont think I would be able to install queues on client machines. And there are some users who would be based behind the firewall and there are some who are no ...Show All

• vbasp Visual Studio and Modeling

  Hi , Has any one come across Visual Studio 2005 's class syncronization's issues basically it looks like VSTS doesn't support generation of sequential diagrams. For requirements gathering and UML Modeling, If I have to make a choice btw Visual Use Case and Enterprise Architect then which is sufficent enough to integrate with VSTS 2005 and / or does allow to represent the requirements and allow to do the UML for the class and sequence diagram generation. -Paresh Hi Paresh, If i recall correctly, I wrote to you once (perhaps in another forum) that VS 2005's class designer is connected directly to the code, meaning you cannot model a class and then decide to synchronize it (further mo ...Show All

• sahady Object reference not set to an instance of an object error.

  i've installed the VSeWSS.msi on VS 2005, i'm using SPS 2007, i'm developing on my workstation in C#, i've added the Mircosoft.Sharepointserver dll reference to my project but i still can't deploy a very basic webpart. i get the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error but there's no reference to a line, column, project or anyhting. very frustrating. any suggestions/links whould be appreciated. You could set up a dev environment in VPC 2007. It's a free download and it'll probably save you heaps of configuration time in the long run. When developing with VSeWSS.msi you need to work directly on the server. There are several build events ...Show All

• susanasusana Should Active Directory be a Domain Controller or in a different domain ?

  MCSF uses Active Directory to store user details. 1. But does it need to be in a different domain or a domain controller 2. Can I just install AD and point MCSF to store users there Regards, Sachin Hi Sachin and Tilak, Thanks for your notes - please also note that the CSF Identity Manager component can not be installed on the same server as Active Directory, because the Identity Manager component uses impersonation, and Active Directory does not permit processes to use impersonation on the same server. Many Thanks, Sachin and Tilak!! -Rob. Yes, but active directory can be installed without being a DC, right I mean, can it just not act as a ldap repository. If you ins ...Show All

• moemen.ahmed Custom Business Object creation and usage (with iBatis posssible)?

  Hi, I am new to iBatis.Net (and n-tier architecture in general) but would like to try, pls correct me if my understanding is wrong. Just wonder: 1. Since iBatis is an sql mapper, is it I still have to write the business objects myself If I have 50 tables in my app (assume each BO mapped to each table) and each table has about 70 fields, then I have to write all the classes and properties myself 2. How the business object classes should be look like If let say the business objects is used throughout my application, how to have things like deleted/original value, sorting, field max length, etc.. How will it work when bound to a datagrid Thanks. This might not be related to iBatis but ... ...Show All

• obulay Service Catalog and UDDI Publisher tool issues

  Hi, I have been exploring Service Catalog as well, however I noticed that whenever I try to add a new service, a new instance of Service Provider also gets created. e.g. I intend to add HelloWorld service to an existing provider “Connected Services Framework v3.0” . Once I am done with publishing and check the UDDI through its browser interface, I see a new provider created “Connected Services Framework v3.0” and the HelloWorld service residing inside it. What I actually intended was to add HelloWorld service to existing provider “Connected Services Framework v3.0”. Also, I noticed that “Connected Services Framework v3.0” provider only contains Service Catalog core component end point, where as the documentation sa ...Show All
