• raghu_grdr What is the difference between Convert.toString and .toString()

  What is the difference between Convert.toString and .toString() Just to give an understanding of what the above question means seethe below code. int i =0; MessageBox.Show(i.ToString()); MessageBox.Show(Convert.ToString(i)); We can convert the integer “i” using “i.ToString()” or “Convert.ToString” so what’s the difference. The basic difference between them is “Convert” function handles NULLS while “i.ToString()” does not it will throw a NULL reference exception error. So as good coding practice using “convert” is always safe. Hi There is no difference between i.ToString() and Convert.ToString(i) . This is the body of the Convert method: public static string ToString(int value) { return value.ToString(); } Furthermore, the ...Show All

• Skill225 Open new document in browser-enabled form

  Hi, I'm not sure if this is an Infopath question or a workflow question. I have an Infopath form that I am using as an EditTask form in a workflow. The IP form has a button that when clicked, should open a new document from a specific document template with a default save location set to a specific sharepoint document library. Because I am using this form as part of a workflow, it has to be browser enabled. Since you can't use script in browser enabled forms I have the following code behind the button (see below). When I preview the form the button works correctly, but when I view the form from within the workflow, the button doesn't work. The form opens correctly, but clicking on the button just sets the "sending data to the serve ...Show All

• Barrios WebDav access to Doc Library

  Don't know if this is the best place to post this or not, but I have a question about what happens when the WebClient service is restarted on my Windows Server 2003 SP1 machine. I'm using the Windows 2003 SP1 server as a client, and am trying to copy files from the file system into a document library on SPS 2003 (hosted on another machine). I've noticed this odd behavior... The WebClient service's startup type was set to Manual after I finished installing windows. If I start the service and try to access the document library via webdav (Start - Run \\servername\path\path\libName , or via code like below) everything works fine. If I restart the WebClient service I can no longer access any webdav resources (even though the service star ...Show All

• Ghoort Custom Field Type Properties

  Hi, I have created a custom field type for SharePoint that represents hierachical data from and XML file (stored in SharePoint) in a TreeView. I have created properties on the field to store the location of the source XML file and whether to render the TreeView as a multi-select, ie. with checkboxes. I created the properties in the _fldtypes xml definition using the property schema elements as they are only simple textboxes and checkboxes. My problem is that these properties work ok to add the form and save, but when you try and edit the field, the values in the properties reset to <field description> value. ie. they are not what was set and they are not even the default! This is supposed to be out of the box stuff accord ...Show All

• JohnHarding Xml string compression?

  Looking for a way to compress a huge xml string. Xceedsoft has a compression library but should we really buy it just for that. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, Sailu Regarding Pranshu suggestion, you have in .NET 2.0 a new API exclusively for compressing/decompressing streams System.IO.Compression Namespace Hope it helps The GZIP compression that I was talking about - is useful for the network only. Most applications ( yours or third party) will support HTTP compression. The way it works is that the Web server( or the HTTP Server which could be your application) - reads the client header "accept-encoding" and if finds the values like Gzip, deflate there, it knows that the client kno ...Show All

• NetPochi Extending a web application for Internet employees?

  I have a WFE server running WSS 3.0 in my DMZ. It talks to a SQL db on a trusted segment. This is probably a newbie question but I am learning fast.
