• SweptSquash CSF vs. WCF ("Indigo")

  I took a brief look at the architecture of both frameworks and they looks very similar. If a company is looking to do a major implementation over the next few months of CSF, shouldn’t they just wait till WCF is released Are there major differences between the two Hi Ashish, You are correct that a forthcoming version of the CSF will be based on Indigo (WCF / .Net 3.0). Indigo (WCF) is a complete set of classes and interfaces for building robust web services, including WS-* compliant web services. WCF emphasises design-time specification of message sending and receiving stacks. CSF is a collection of WS-* compliant web services, intended to make SOA adoption easier. CSF ma ...Show All

• dmouser Search Usage

  I have some questions about what is the best approach to take. I need to gather detailed information about search usage for my site collection. Here are my criteria: 1. I want data from one site collection, not all sites using the same ssp. 2. I want username, date, search word(s), scope, advanced search options, result count, and best bet hits I know that MOSS provides some built in search usage logging, but it doesn't appear to fulfill my needs out of the box. Is there access to this usage data via object model or web services In sps2003 I inherited from the SearchResults web part and was able to get the data (or most of it) by overriding GenerateQueryString(...) The CoreSearchResults web part in MOSS derives fro ...Show All

• Kryor Simple Class question regarding hierarchies or Parent Child relationships.

  I'm not sure this is the correct forum but I would like to model a library of books and I'm stuck on a key concept of OOP.  The library would contain one or more book types like "fiction" or "reference".  The book types would contain one or more books like "Gone With the Wind" or "VB Classes in 21 Minutes" :)  Each book would contain one or more "pages".  I have created a class for each object seperately but how do I model the fact that a book contains pages, a type contains books which contain pages, and a library contains types which contain books which contain pages   At first I created a parent container (ArrayList) for each class that contained the child objects but that seems akw ...Show All

• encoded Planning transactions with N-tier, distributed transactions, multiple databases

  Hi Forum I would like to know if there are some best practices for planning/documenting transactions in order to avoid deadlocks. We unfortunately have the bad habit of going into production before discovering deadlocks. The problem is that we have an N-tier architecture where developers can choose to start transactions that spans not just multiple tables but also multiple databases. So it is distributed transactions. It gets quite complex when many people implement transactions, not necessarily calling the resources in the same order. What should I as an architect do - Should I put together a document and have the developers document all transactions, including isolation level and in what order they are calling resour ...Show All

• Jamie Thomson LOL: No Knowledge about Knowledge Network

  Just thought it was funny that the "Knowledge Network" had no posts and thus no Knowledge about it :-) Hi Henry, Regarding an executive brief... not sure... i know John Hand did a Channel9 presentation on this a while back which went pretty deep into the product.

• GTrz Create a 'custom' List with Pages

  Hi, I need to create a 'custom' List that will contain Pages (or articles if you want). I can't use the default Page list that's there. How can I go about doing this I need this because I have to have a List with articles that aren't shown on the site as other 'normal' articles. Thanks! Joost, The "Create Page" link is a built-in menu item that redirects you to the "new page" screen for the "pages" library. You have three options: train your authors that when they want to create a new page in the "non-pages" library, they should go to that library and click "new" there create a new menu item in the "site actions" menu bar that wi ...Show All

• crash33 Webpart and Session Variable

  For my debugging issues, can some one please show me how to use Session variable when developing WebPart and get it result display in the WebPart. Many thanks, Han Hi, Before you can use sessions you first have to enable the session state module in the web.config file in the sharepoint site. Just uncomment the following line: <!-- <add name="Session" type="System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule"/> --> After that you can use the session object like you'll normally do with web applications.

• B. Thomas Login Dialog

  Hi folks I have installed Sharepoint onto a domain server. It will always be accessed from within the domain (i.e. it will not be on the internet.). 1. When a user browses to the site (in internet explorer) they are presented with a login box (saying "Connect to [Servername]"). Is there any way that I can get rid of this I would rather that the users didn't have to log in. I hoped their credentials would be handled automatically since they are on the domain. 2. I have an asp.net 2.0 site which the Sharepoint site has links to. It is on the same server but published on a different port. When a user clicks on a link for this site they are also presented with another login dialog. How can I get rid of this (i.e. can't I jus ...Show All
