• Corby111 Data Synchronization with Client/Server

  Normally, client/server applications are developed with the client requesting operations on the server (e.g. AddCustomer, ModifyCustomer, DeleteCustomer, DoSomethingWithCustomer, etc). There's usually also a client side cache so lookup and other frequently used data are loaded into the client. Moving towards developing smart clients, the cache is made robust so it handles synchronization of data with particular synchronization strategies, handling offline mode, etc. With the introduction of SQL Express and assuming all future machines will be preinstalled with SQL Express, could we not write the client as though it's a 1-tier application reading/writing straight to the local SQL Express database and somehow configure SQL Express to d ...Show All

• Murtuza39 How to make breadcrumb display text in root?

  I'm trying to have the SharePoint breadcrumb display text from the root folder. If you copy the default.aspx page to the "Shared Documents" folder, you'll see: HOME > Shared Documents > default However, in the root folder it's missing the text. I'd like to create custom aspx pages in the root folder that show the text so in this example it would be: HOME > default For your sites breadcrumb change the SiteMapProvider to SiteMapProvider="SPContentMapProvider" . This will display the Shared Documents Folder ...Show All

• AlexU Sharepoint Portal Fixed Width?

Sorry George, you lost me when you started with 'Publishing Portal site template'.

• justinmagaram failover to backup web service

  We have a failover site to host our web service for a company mobile app if our main site goes down. To implement support for it, I coded something like this: Try ws.Login(username, pwd) Catch ws.Url = Config.GetSetting("backupUrl") ws.Login(username, pwd) End Try See any hazards Thanks. DRP solution is usually a multi-tiered effort - moving to a remote site is usually only done when you have a catastrophy - because of issues like data synchronization and freshness - Even though it depends on your particular business, you would probably find that you cannot synchronize the whole data between the two sites at the same level of synchronization You may still want to add NLB or other clustering solution on you ...Show All

• PeterVrenken Duplicate Submissions occur if refresh button is clicked

  My code has a custom webpart that submits to the content database. However, if the user manually refreshes the page after the submit button has been clicked but before the pages postbacks a duplicate entry is created. Any ideas on how to resolve this I am using Portal 2003. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a regular problem with any html form (nothing to do with sharepoint or .net as it were). One of the things you could try is redirect the user to another page (or even to the same page) using the Page.Response.Redirect method after you save the page. This will *break* the connection to the last post. ...Show All

• Bassam72 Same file on multiple server (Server Balancing)

  Hi, I'm looking for a system that will copy a newly created file from a specific folder to a bunch of other server on the same network. I have a web site that host videos/images/sounds and it's cheaper to rent an other server than to buy bandwidth (I find that weird). When I upload a video (wmv) on Server 1 I want something to automaticaly copy this video to the other servers (the starting point will always be server 1). That way I can balance the bandwidth on multiple server http://video1.site.com , http://video2.site.com I tought of using ftp (not full proof if something crash), creating my own (can take a long time to have something bug free), mapping drive (coul'nt find how to do it). I'm looking for some suggestion, web si ...Show All

• Smallmaj Web Service vs. Component

  I'm looking for any recommended articles that discuss the pros/cons of building a web service vs. a component assembly. I'd like to find something that provides some guidelines for choosing one implementation method over another. Does anyone know where I can find an article like this Ah! Thanks for the clarification. The points you've listed above are exactly my concern. Using a local copy (or GAC) version of a dll provides obvious performance benefits, but does not necessarily fit most definitions of SOA. Our SOA will include reusability that is implemented via components as well as services. Consider it a hybrid, if that is more comfortable. Form an architectural or designer perspective, I ...Show All

• oolon Presentation layer depends on ????

  Hi, I am trying to understand the layering concept with the ASP.NET 2.0 apps. I have a ASP.NET 2.0 Web app which has 3 layers Presentation layer which contains UI elements and Input validation logic Business layer which contains Business Rules, Business Objects and Business Workflow DataTier which contains database tables and stored procedures I understand that each layer is a independent entity and can be considered a blackbox by all other layers. Thus each layer can be built independently of the other layers. But in the above scenario can somebody tell me does the Presentation layer depend on the Business layer only or does it depend on the DataTier as well since there is Input validation involved in the Presenta ...Show All
