• MiXen where should I put this method (class design question)

  Hi, if i am working on bug tracking system for example where technical support agents log (or create) new bugs in the system. In this situation, I guess we ll have an employee (or supportAgent class) and a bug class. So where should I put the method: createNewBug in the supportAgent class or in the Bug class or both Pls let me know if my question doesn t make sense.   Thank you All what the employee does is: fill out a little form about a bug and presses submit, then the bug goes to the DB. So we need to put a method SaveBug that calls the data tier. I guess SaveBug ll be in Bug class rather than Employe class or not if so how would the employee class call the savebug method. i guess we need another met ...Show All

• vijay1 Office Automation in .NET

  Hi, We have a Documentation system which generates some output documents based upon some pre-defined templates in MS Word. What we did in the past was, we designed these templates in Word. We had a Visual Basic dll which dynamically merge the data into these templates using Mail Merge feature. Now we are enhancing/upgrading this application. I was wondering if we can get rid of this Mail Merge some way because using MS Word on server with COM+ causes many unwanted scenarios, like Word instances remain open and eats memory, Some unwanted data appears in Mail Merge fields and Word opens a pop up etc. Can anyone suggest something more useful Thanks, Can we integrate ActiveDocs from BizTalk 2006 ...Show All

• irl-barse Should a good business tier provide async methods?

  Hello Forum I have developed a business tier that in some cases is located remote and sometimes located on a web server with the web frontend. I have frontend developers requesting that I make async versions of all methods or at least of some in the business tier. They want to use this so they can use with the new "Asyncronous Pages" in ASP:NET 2.0. (See links - the last one includes an impressive benchmark) I'm not experienced in providing async methods from a business tier. I have 2 questions. Should a good business tier provide async methods I'm wonding what issues there can be My setup is like this: - The business tier can sometimes be located remote using single call remoting. - The identity must be on ...Show All

• jcollomosse Use serialized domain model entities as web service messages?

  I am wondering about the viability of using domain entity classes as the return types and method arguments in web services. The motivation is to avoid having to create a layer of data-transfer/message classes, and the mapping of domain objects to/from them. Technically it works - the IDE autogenerates the proxy classes and does all the serialization. But when you get into the particulars of the domain entity classes (their relationships with each other, aggratetions, exposed collectons, etc), I can see there being practical problems. This is done fairly commonly but it seriously compromises the principle of loose coupling because both the caller and the service must have the class definition to be able t ...Show All

• hidme how to debug an eventhandler

  I've written a eventhandler dor document libraries, wicht creates unique numbers for each document placed in a library. Ofcourse it isn't working, and I would like to debug my code. It looks like the evnt is never called. Can anyone tell me how to debug source code written for Sharepoint 2003 Eddy Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately I dont'have the rights to do that.

So I develop on my client box with VS Studio, then copy the .dll over to the virtual server's GAC. do you think I can debug the handler like ...Show All

• Inferno986 How to send synchronous message to the service?

  Hi All! I'm using CSF 3.0 Developer Edition Full. I've tried to send a synchronous message from one servcie to another through a CSF session, but it hasn't worked. On this forum I read, that CSF doesn't support synchronous exchange between services, but there wasn't explanation why. And in the development guide it is said that synchronous exchange is possible. Here is my code: Header header = new Header(); header.Addressing = new Microsoft.ConnectedServices.Sdk.Addressing.AddressingHeaders(MyURI); header.Addressing.To = SessionUri; header.CsfProperties.SessionId = SessionId; header.Addressing.Action = MyAction; Message request = Message.CreateMessage(header, MyRequestType); MyResponseType response = sender.SendSync<MyResponseType>(r ...Show All

• clint 2 Stock quote sample not working

  Hi, I'm trying to get the stock quote sample up and running, but I always get this error message: "The remote name could not be resolved: ws.cdyne.com" As far as I know the resolve should work just fine. I manually verified that the webservice at http://ws.cdyne.com/delayedstockquote/delayedstockquote.asmx exists, is reachable and works perfectly. Can it be that CSF isn't using the proxy server settings from Internet Explorer Greetings, Leon Zandman No, it still doesn't work. The solution Marinus Holkema proposed also didn't work. I'm currently assigned to a different project, so I haven't been able to do some more research. Marinus (who is a direct colleague of mine) has rec ...Show All
