• salah1980 Filter search results in MOSS 2007 depending on the signed in user.

  Hello, I have a Sharepoint site where all the lists and libraries are going to be filtered depending on the user that's logged in (using a UserID identifier for each user and each list item having that same UserID as foreign key). I need to implement search capabilities on the site, however I also need the search results to be filtered by that same UserID. And this should be transparent for the user, he shouldn't be aware of the filter; in other words the user shouldn't be able to turn on or off the filter (as for example a Scope) and shouldn't be able to override it (as for example a param in a QueryString). I'm trying to link a CurrentUserFilter to the search results, in other words. Any ideas on how to acomplish this Thanks, ...Show All

• sharpMoon Running Windowsless ActiveX app from Windows Service

• Kevin F Jones HelloWorld sample not working

  Hi, I've got the HelloWorld sample application working perfectly on one of my laptops. But today I tried to run it on a different laptop and it fails to run properly. Both laptops have similar installations (CSF Dev edition for XP) and use similar app.config and manifest.xml files. After I press the "CreateSession" button I get a messagebox displaying a SOAPFaultException: Internal server error occurred. I tried to get more detailed exception information, but nothing was written to the event log and using the VS2005 debugger didn't help either. Does anybody know how I can track this error Greetings, Leon Zandman And I solved it! Yes! It turned out I had set my SQL Server 2 ...Show All

• sqlster WS-Disovery, WS-MetadataExchange, and UDDI

  What is the best way to catalog and publish all the disparate web services in my organization We have lots of different environments and platforms (C, PHP, COBOL, Java, C#, SOAP, XML-RPC) and I'd like to centralize a catalog of these services. UDDI has been around a long time, and I wanted to know if it were still the best practice, or should I be implementing WS-Discovery and WS-MetadataExchange for this purpose, or something else If WS-* is the way to go, and not UDDI, how do I create my service catalog using WCF Thanks, Mark This appears to be a common need. Do you know what others are doing I can imagine something as simple as a single table of URLs to WSDLs would suffice. ...Show All

• shekhar saran transfer local moss site to WSS .. its possible~????

  Hello I want to know if its possible transfer local Sharepoint Server 2007 sites (with their funcionality's) to WSS server (there is no Sharepoint Server Portal, only WSS) its possible and how using backup and restore thanks My best regards, I wonder if it's now possible in the v3 products. In the v2 products it was only possible from WSS 2.0 to SPS 2003. The reason it was not possible from SPS 2003 to WSS 2.0 was because of the extra functionality available (even if not used) in those SPS 2003 sites. I would have thought the same would apply to v3 too, but maybe if you restrict the question to only those sites that are based on common template types (so not Publishing for instance which WSS 3.0 doesn't know about) i ...Show All

• nbrege 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).

• JeffK_ MySite Creation

  I have a MOSS 2007 enterprise in a single server environment. Everything is working alright but I would like to create mysites for all users on my network and lock them down prior to the user logging in to the system. I can give them access and permissions to the sharepoint site, but I do not want them to create their mysite themselves. I would like to build the mysite for them; is this possible MySites are created and the creation is initiated by the user. If your looking at creating a certain look and feel you are probably looking at creating some customized site definitions. I dont remember if Todd covered this in his book but teh Developers Guilde to Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 would be a good place to look for information ...Show All

• flash.tato Record Locking / Conflict Management Approaches

  We have an application wherein all screen will open up in seperate tabs. The question is since all the screens open in tab mode how does one handle record locking i.e. One user opens the record for modifying and does not close or save the changes made, another user opens this records for processing. How can this situation be handled One way I was thinking of is to have a conflict management in place where in discrepancy in records edited and the one fetched from the database would be alterted and user would be asked for a decision. We can find out which is the latest record by maintaining custom version numbers for each record. Any thoughts on this pls. -Sai That's the basic reason for implementing lock ...Show All

• Michal Golawski Extending Web Aplications and problems with document library folders

  Hi, I have extended a web app to give remote access to external users via https. The internal path to the sharepoint site is http://sharepoint:5800/default.aspx and the external path over the web is https://sharepoint.icemostech.net:6000/default.aspx .
