• Samoyed A web part that is a consumer and provider at the same time.

  I have already implemented a provider and consumer ASP.NET web parts and using them in sharepoint. Now I have to send some information from my consumer web part to another consumer web part. Is it possible If not can I handle it using ViewState Thanks That worked for me two. Thanks a lot man I'm using WSS. With the help of a coworker, we seem to have solved this. Rather than decorating the Consumer method with [ConnectionConsumer("OfficeTrackSelector")] we used [ConnectionConsumer("OfficeTrackSelector","otc")] It seems that the second parameter is an ID for the consumer, without it, the consumer seems to use a default, which causes confli ...Show All

• Jakob S assigning a custom master page to a site definition

  I'm trying to assign a new master page to a custom site definition I created in WSS v3.0. I want the new master page to be the default when a new site is created from this custom site definition. I've found a few different posts in regards to this online but none of them have worked. I always receive errors when trying to create a new site. I would think you could easily specify this in either the onet.xml or default.aspx page for the site definition. Has anyone been able to do this successfully One would think this is pretty obvious and would be published via msdn somewhere but that doesn't seem to be the case. Any help is appreciated. As a follow-up, I was finally able to successfully create a ...Show All

• windows_mss Architecture for Notification based application

  I need to develop a notification based system in .Net. Basically as and when certain data gets updated, the client machine is informed about it. There would be a windows based application running across all these clients. One way I was thinking of was to have the clients poll the server for any updates at frequent intervals. Whenever the Server does an update it would post the update into a queue. Every client would poll the queue for any updates. Would like to know if this approach is alrite or suggest an alternative architecture. Thanks Sai You can use Remoting for Remote callbacks from Server to clients Thanks & regards, Bineesh AV MSMQ supports IP mulitcastin ...Show All

• Corey Furman DataSet Performance issue

  HI We are using a oracle stored procedure which returns a refcursor. For queries with like search which returns large number records the dataadapter.fill() is really takes time. For a case whcih returns 14000 records it took 3000 ms to perform the fill method, eventhou gh we are filtering by 99 recodrs using fill(ds, start, maxrecords). As the number of records increasing the time varies even if the filtering happens only for 99 records. Any idea how we can improve the performance. Or any other we can call the SP which gives any improvement We cannot modify the SP. And the DAL used by many diffrerent componenets.

• Khenat.Ram where to put the generic code to check for browser language?

  We are building a website in three languages English, Spanish and German. On every web page that is being accessed by the user we need to check the language of the browser to retrieve the correct data. Our question is what would be the best location for the generic code to check for language. Should we put the code in the Page_Load of the master page since every page is build using the master page Or should we have a CommonPage.cs which all other pages inherit from Or do you have any other/better ideas What is the best practice Thanks, Newbie! I'd have the Session start event in the global fire a method to check it. ...Show All

• Dharan Prakash MOSS2007 used as an application platform?!?

  Hi. I've been doing a fair bit of work with two large clients using SharePoint. The scenario is rather typical - SharePoint must host applications that accesses network-based resources such as databases, directory services and files. Some of the application services must be exposed as web services so that they can be consumed by other applications, devices and services. So pretty standard enterprise app stuff. In both cases senior architects and SharePoint architects and developers suggest using SharePoint exclusively. As an example, lets say an app needs to capture customer data, and customer orders. I'm being told that customer and order information should be stored as lists, that web parts should be created to host workflows ...Show All
