• mbenny123 in coming email to issue lists

  I notice in MOSS 2007 that the list can accept incoming email. This is a great feature, however the issue lists does not have this functionality, any reason why and is there a work around Seems like a large design floor here!!!! Thanks Peter Hi, The issue list template doesn't support incoming email by design. What you could do is use a document library to receive the email and then use a workflow to create the issue item with a link field holding the url to the email in the library. Regards, Ian http://www.wssdemo.com I have incoming email working on the other lists, and working wonderfully. Just not on the issues list. ...Show All

• J Guy Davidson No context menu for Reporting Services

  I installed the RS add-in on my MOSS site and was able to publish reports to my Report Center site. So far so good. However, the right click context menu for my reports does not show any entries for Reporting Services admin. My MOSS site is AD authenticated and I'm using a domain admin account for all installation and testing. I used Windows Authentication for RS integration. Doing the same on a standalone MOSS server works as expected.

• Grumpy McNasty .net binary web services.

  Just wondering if anyone is using .net binary web services. I know there are few experts in this forum, just wondering if you could share some input about the scenarios when it is appropriate to use them and any example articles which show how to use them, the advantages and disadvantages of using them. Thanks. Since web services = SOAP (plus a bunch of other standards in various ratification phases), which is XML based, what do you mean by binary web services If you choose performance over interoperability, then why use web services in the first place Simply the fact that you mentioned .net directs me to the understanding that you have .net on both sides of the wire. So, do you really need interoperability I agree wit ...Show All

• Adam Boczek Is CSF essentially an ESB?

  Is CSF essentially performing some of the same role as an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) product such as those available from vendors such as Sonic or IBM If not, how is it different A follow-up question - can one assume that session mgmt is a combination of "ESB"+"run time goverance"+ orchestration CSF is a framework and ESB is part of the architecture that makes up the platform. You can obviously leave ESB aside if you don't want to use it in your architecture but considering if you want to integrate things in a SOA manner, ESB is good to have. CSF performs a set of governance functions needed to manage a syst ...Show All

• ZopoStyle Runing web apps with Windows NT Load Balancing Service

  I was assigned to solve problem with our IIS web server cluster. The problem is when we need to boot one of our servers, the sessions connected to server are lost. Which means that the client needs to login. Is there a way to do this without losing the logins Here's a good overview of how to configure NLB: http://www.west-wind.com/presentations/loadbalancing/NetworkLoadBalancingWindows2003.asp The affinity settings are on the Add/Edit Port Rule dialog shown around the middle of the page Because those are Windows servers. I believe shared sessions store is not configured correctly. I will look into this and make further questions if I don't resolve the problem.

• Vaish Web farm architecture

  I want to design a web farm with three web servers. Can I use Application Center to do that If yes, is there any reference design diagram If no, any other suggestion To be honest, I've never tried to configured NLB on virtual machines. I've seen conflicting reports around of whether it is supposed to work or not, so I can't say for sure, but testing it shouldn't be too hard. Regardin gthe deployment question, the answer is no. In a regular NLB cluster, it is your responsability to update all machines in the cluster consistently. This was one of the things that AppCenter Server could do, btw. One of the benefits of NLB, though, is that you can take a server off the cluster to update it and then bring it back on without completely d ...Show All

  I have a .NET 2.0 C# application (.exe) which references two class libraries LibOne.dll is NET 2.0 code which uses Enterprise Library Caching Application Block 2.0 LibTwo.dll is.NET 1.1 code which uses Enterprise Library Caching Application Block 1.1 (this .NET 1.1 code has too many other dependency, and cannot migrate to .NET 2.0 at this time) These two class libraries cache different things without overlap.

• Peter D.252325 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 Is it for transferring between machines If so - you could use Gzip compression. Pranshu 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 knows how to unzip gzipped file and can compress the file on the fly and send ...Show All

• TeleRiddler Architecture question

  I have a mobile field service app written to run on WM5 CF2 and would like some advice on architecture. For this type of app, the runtime performance is crucial in relation to startup time. I have a Data Access Layer (DAL) with various classes that provide the abstraction between business objects and the persistence layer e.g. SqlCe. One class per business object. On top of that is the Business Logic Layer (BLL) that uses the DAL layer. This is impemented by normal classes. And on top of that the Presentation layer implemented as a number of Forms that use the BLL layer methods only. I have also created a 'MyApplication' class with the singleton pattern. When the class instantiates, it creates all the BLL classes, the database c ...Show All
