• Paul Mason design pattern question - proxy

  Hello, I'm implementing a software module and hesitating about the appropriate design. The client needs to perform operations for an componenet which is divided to few parts in the memory. However the client treats the componenet as one contiguous. My design includes a "Manager" which has an interface for the client and handles all operations for this components. The "Manager" knows when it is asked to read/write the appropriate part of the memory. It hides the fact that the component is divided to few parts in the memory space. I wonder if this is called a proxy, facade or a bridge Or maybe other pattern I think it is a proxy but not sure since there few real objects (i.e. subjects) and not only one. In cas ...Show All

• Chris McLeod Web part development in local machine or server

  Hi, I have a server where the WSS installed and I have installed VS 2005 in my local machine. Trying to create a web part from local machine using the "Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0". But the problem is, I am getting an error message saying "No sharepoint site exists for the URL" and the debug process stops.

  Hello, The sps_Serv_db for my portal site has grown in size to over 22GB. The Site_db is only 9GB.

• curiousss Permission to a certain view

  Is there a way of restricting users to a certain view. Example: A list of employees contacts and salary information with two views. One for the HR Managers and one for the other is for the HR employees. I want to limit the group of HR Employees to the contact details but not salary information. I thought of this solution, it serves the purpose just fine. However, there is one problem thou. I think if users knew the exact url to the list, then they could access the the library with no restriction. There is no way to set separate permissions on different views for a given list. Nor is there any field-level security within a list. And you are correct that Audience Targeti ...Show All

• Caroline_C# Moving MySites to a different farm in BTR

  Don't ask why I am trying to do this but I need to migrate a few MySites from a BTR installation to a different BTR installation so I then can upgrade them to RTM. It seems like the stsadm -backup/restore doesn't capture all the meta data and other dependencies tied in with MySites. Does anyone out there know a good way to achieve this I've tried the stsadm -export -includeusersecurity but I am getting all these "access denied" errors on export AND import. Needless to say, this is messy. Thanks, Rabbit I am facing the same problem with import/export.

• Ceds Is it possible to show a Windows User Control in Sharepoint?

  Hi, I have a website that has a control that is shown in a web page. Is it possible to add this user control in a Sharepoint page Doing it in a aspx or ascx page is easy, but then when I try in Sharepoint I get an empty control. Any help is greatly appreciated. Xavier Chris is on the right track. Wrapping it in a web part also allows you to set properties on your control through the personalization engine.. something to think about when you build the we part. I could be wrong, but I believe you want to encapsulate your user control within a custom ASP 2.0 Web Part, then have Sharepoint use your newly created web part.

• Gulden if not to use session variables then what

  Hi Everybody, I have question which comes to mind of nearly everybody who is designing a webapplication in .net. I wish to store some user related data across the webpages in a Asp.net website. Since the data is big, i don't wish to use session variables to store that. So where should i store it One thing i want to make clear here that i don;t want to use cookies(now i think i am becoming too selfish :) ). Somebody told me of making a class static but i don't know whether it is a feasible solution for a webapplication .IF somebody knows about this ,kindly let me know with some code for direction. Some other people say that we should persist the class which is holding the data. I don't know how to do it, might be by serial ...Show All

• David Turner MOSS Beta2 trial period expired

  Hi One of our client was using MOSS 2007 Beta2 version. Today they got 'Trial period is expired' message when they try to access the site. Was the Beta2 version good until Jan 2007 What are the next steps to upgrade to RTM Regards Amit I dont remember the exact date that the Beta was to expire but January rings a bell. For upgrading Beta2 to RTM you must first upgrade to Beta2TR then to RTM or just wipe and start from scratch which is what I would recommend. Joel Oleson, Shane Young and myself all put out some information on this and you can find the link at the Microsoft Sharepoint Team Blog site http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint Hope this helps Bob Hi Bob Thanks for your reply.

• strMike Where can I find older versions of Microsoft Products?

  Hi All, I don't know if this is the right place to post this question, if the moderator thinks it's not, please move it to the right one. I wanted to ask you guys if you can post some urls where I can download older versions of ALL microsoft products. (DirectX, Windows Media Player, MS Office, etc ...) I need these to test my apps that it would be backward compatible to older releases of the products. If you can point me to an archive site where microsoft keeps their older (even unsupported) products (if there is one), I would gladly appreciate it. The only way that I know of is to get an MSDN Sub... then you can download it from the subscribers download site. You will find that if you hav ...Show All

Is this possible Is it possible to redirect the users browser to a custom web page on another server It is more likely to be due to the security restrictions in pace for the zone you are in. Try adding both sites to the 'Local Intranet Zone' (which by default allows cross-domain and zone hopping stuff to happen) and see if you get the same problem. Assuming that you own both sites and trust the content therein! Also, have you tried taking the string defined on Source parameter and typing it into the br ...Show All
