• Gwiz Configuration Wizard failed - hosts file missing

  Hi, I just want to let you know, that during the Configuration Wizard of MOSS EE 2007 (English) the configuration failed because of a missing C:\Windows\System32\Drivers \etc\hosts file!

  I am looking to generate code based on a database structure. I want to start with a base template and add things I need to it. My goal is to auto generate the boring repetative code so I can focus on the most important areas.

• kinny_k Full backup hanging on last step

  Hey guys, hopefully someone can help me. I have a full backup that runs every night. A couple nights ago, it started to hang on on backing up the Windows Sharepoint Services Search Database. It says "Preparing backup" while all the other steps says "In Process". The SQL server database, on the same server (single server deployment) taps out in the morning and the portal is unable to connect to the config database. Then I'd have to restart the server. These backups are also not restorable as they had never finished. Does anyone know what's going on here or know how to clear the unfinished backup history I've already tried deleting timer failed and stuck timer jobs. Thank you much. I'm not sure how min ...Show All

• wsy generating classes from UML

  Hi, Sometime back ,i read somewhere that newer version of vs.net gives the functionality of making classes from uml diagrams(like class diagrams), but i have not encountered this kind of facililty in the vs.net as per now. Can you people please confirm on this. Also if there is any other tool available to do this for creating classes,interfaces etc in c#, please let me know. Regards Diego, As Clemens noted the VS class diagrams are not exactly UML (I don't think that is a problem but it might be if the requirment is for strict UML). Also the VS class designer is only that a class designer if you also need sequence diagrams etc. you need a real UML tool (I use Enterprise Architect fr ...Show All

• Phillippa Creating multiple tasks to multiple people

  I have a workflow, where I need to create an undefined number of tasks to different people. I solved this in my State Machine Task like this: When the workflow starts, I read out the field, where all the people are stored and save them into a collection. Because the field contains also some numbers, it's a bit tricky: XmlNode node = myDoc.SelectSingleNode( "//my:vertreter" , nsmgr); string [] separator = new string [1]; separator[0] = ( ";#" ); string [] strings = node.FirstChild.Value.Split(separator, StringSplitOptions .RemoveEmptyEntries); foreach ( string item in strings) { if (item.Length > 3) vertreter.Add(item); } This should work for me, I tried it with an example in a WinApp. I a ...Show All

• BradyGuy 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...
