• Joel_F DataAccess Design Pattern

  Hello, One of my application requirements is that when the user logs in, if they are not conected through the VPN, I need to perform all data access through webservices and if they are logged in, use my business components directly. Does anyone have any good ideas for this or point me in the direction of any existing patterns Thanks! Hi Diesel, If the business operations are similar in Webservice as well as the Business components. All that you have to do is have a common interface implemented by both of them. Have a Gateway class that checks whether the user has logged in or not. Accordingly return the webService or the Business classes using the factory pattern to the client. The client wi ...Show All

• Jens K. Suessmeyer - MSFT Forms Based Authentication

  I am trying to setup Forms Based Authentication (FBA) for our MOSS 2007 site. Based on the various blog postings/etc. around the web, I have it setup. There is one minor problem I was hoping somebody could help with. We are hoping to disable the "remember me" functionality in the form - we don't want people to accidentally stay logged in to the site. The problem we are having is this - if we don't check "remember me" on the login form, when I try to "Edit in Microsoft Office Word" on a document, it opens up Office (2003) and instead of opening the document, it opens up the login.aspx page as HTML. If I try it with Office 2007, it just doesn't open up the document, and no error is displayed. If I check the &quo ...Show All

• GetCode Hosting Long Running Batch Processes In IIS 6

  I am currently architecting a framework that will depend on IIS to host batch oriented code. The design will use a disconnected model with a controller (that lives remotely) and checks back periodically via an ASMX layer. When invoking the actual batch execution code the ASMX call will spawn as many threads as it is configured to run and immediately respond (hence avoiding any long running HTTP connection). I like the idea for a number of reasons, obviously I get to use a standard communication protocol to invoke the batch code across tiers and I can even incorporate standard load balancing routines. I'm also able to use the same communication end points to check back in on the threads as they are executing. There are also a number of o ...Show All

• Mohanraj_k Why return a Success boolean from a web service?

  Jeromy Carriere's MSDN Webcast: Patterns and Anti-Patterns in SOA critiques web services implemented as a Sub (void method), with no indication of success returned. I don't understand why we would want the clutter of in-line checking for success. There's no end to it once you start down this path -- instead, why not catch exceptions thrown by the web method It seems even if you call a method asynchronously, your callback method should catch exceptions and raise them in the usual manner; otherwise, just code for the "happy path" and keep it readable. Now that we have exception support, shouldn't the 80's style manner of in-line error-checking be discarded Thanks.   I agree. In pevious language, it wat dificut ...Show All

• AJCruz Question regarding the CSLA framework

  I'm currently in the beggining stages of designing an application around the CLSA framework. Before i go too far i would like to know if anyone has used this framework successfully in any mid to large size applications If not, what went wrong I like the way the framework is layed out but its a big investment in time and money (work hours). Any help would be appreciated. I had Rocky's book (highly recommended) and have reviewed the CLSA.NET framework, but I have never used it in a production environment. I have used a custom port of the CSTemplates ( http://cstemplates.sourceforge.net ) framework for the past year or two. It has worked extremely well in both very large and small systems. The good thing about working with a framew ...Show All

• GPinNY Dataset, Typed Dataset or NHibernate?

  Not again.... I know some of the experts here will say. But I have read tons of articles, blogs, forums, and still can't decide on which to use to pass the data among the layers. Here is what my design need to take care of: 1. 3 layers architecture, where UI, BLL and DAL should be seperated. 2. The BLL/DAL should be somesort like "portable", can be reused in Windows Application and Web Application. So no repeated code needed. 3. The BLL/DAL can be called from within an application or through remoting/web service. 4. The BLL/DAL can act like APIs which can intergrate with other non-.Net system (VB6, VFP, C++, Java, etc.) I have to mention I have no experience in remoting, web service and COMIneterop (yet), but these will ...Show All

Any news The RTM versions of the WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 SDKs are in the process of getting posted to MS Downloads. The should be available within the next week or so. Look for an official announcement on the SharePoint Team Blog as soon as the files are online. The RTM version of the ECM Starter Kit will be included in the downloadable MOSS 2007 S ...Show All
