• Hooper Recurring Appointment Database Storage

  Hello, I am writing an application that handles scheduling of appointments. I will need to support recurring appointments and I anticipate performance problems should I go about this naively. I believe my task is pretty simple to explain. One query might be to retrieve all appointments within a week. Or, all appointments within a month. Of course, these queries should combine results for single and recurring appointments. Specifically, I think I should be trying to avoid calculations within my select statement when I retrieve information from the database. So, I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on how/what data should be stored to ensure my queries are optimal. Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions! ...Show All

• unahb documents per view

  Hi,   I have a webpart that shows me the nr of documents of a library that have a certain view. The user can enter a certain view, wicht exists for that library, and then it shows the # of documents that view has. If the view has a filter, and it shows 2 of the 3 documents of the library, then i want my result only 2. Now I can only make this happen if the user selects this view as the Current View, but I want this result also when the user has not selected this view as current. So what I actually try to achieve is when, in Sharepoint, you go to your Document Library, and choose on a certain view, i want the list of the documents that are in that view. Here's my code so far, does anybody have a clue Thanks in adva ...Show All

• Julian V Still unclear on how to use Typed Datasets in BLL...

  OK, I have decided to use typed datasets in my data access layer (DAL). So, my question is, do I really need to create a business logic layer (BLL) From what I have read, you can extend the dataset classes in the DAL using partial classes and place business logic there. Doesn't this combine the DAL and BLL into one component Or is there something I'm missing Do you create the BLL and start by referencing the DAL project and inheriting the classes from the DAL and extend the classes there I don't get where one ends and the other starts. OR, if it really makes a difference. ...or do I even know what I'm talking about...

• Helio Gomes abstract vs interface

  hi everybody, In my current application,ther is a common fucntionality(method) which can change frequently. Should i use the abstract class or the interface to put the signature of the method (no body )inside. The answer which comes in my mind is interface but then why can't we use abstract instead by just giving the signature of method in the abstract class. Do interfaces or abstract differ in how much memory they consume and also in the performance of the application. Please elaborate on what is to be used prefably in which scenarios as i read many articles but none of them gives indepth knowledge.

  What changes are needed to a public site with anonymous access to avoid name.dll gets executed on the client I created a product information site and opened this to the public.

• qt1h00 WSS 2.0 and security group sync

  Hi all I have a simple question, but I cannot seem to find an answer to it anywhere. I'm working with WSS 2.0 and have no opportunity to test this scenario as our WSS-AD connection is faulty on forehand. What I want to know is the following: If I add a security group as user on a WSS site in WSS 2.0 (not SPS) is the connection between the security group in the AD and the user group in WSS kept Is there any synchronization done Meaning, if I remove a user from the security group in the AD, has that user no longer access to the WSS site where the group is added as a user As I understand it the members of the security group are added as individual users on the WSS site once they have logged on to the site, but are they still connected ...Show All

• Toby Broom Data Access Architecture

  I am reviewing my current project and find that the data access is not so desirable. The main problem maybe root from the architecture of my data access. I would like to get more input. In my existing application, I have create one data access object for each table. Most of them are implemented by Type DataSet while some are custom objects (The reason is lack of inheritance of Type DataSet). For example, I have created a Typed DataSet Order to access my order header and order detail. I have also created a product class and a SalesProduct class (inherit from Product). The above objects are all treated as my DAL and contains CRUD mainly. (Certainly, I found some business logic messed into them already.) The problem came when I reviewing the ...Show All
