• John Blight where to store a unique ID?

  Hello,   I want to store a unique ID to use in a webpart. In a aspx page I would do it with a database field and a stored procedure, but with webparts i don't know. I want to give all my documents a unique ID, but not use the ID from sharepoint itself. What you are looking for is not a web part. It is an event handler that attaches to the document library and overrides the ItemAdded event (read about ItemAdded event in the MSDN). This event will allow you to manipulate properties of the document once it's been uploaded. true. Let me know if you hit problems. I'm using Sharepoint 2003, Visual Studio 2003. In this, Microsoft.SharePoint doesnt have the SPItemEventReceive ...Show All

• lagu2653 Developing ASP.net applications (within sharepoint)

  Hi, I would like to develop a (custom) ASP.net application and host it within Sharepoint, of course with the masterpage provided by sharepoint. Now it's quite easy to create a ASPX page within sharepoint (via sharepoint designer). It's also easy to just copy and paste ASP code in that file. Works fine. Serge van Oever has a nice blog posting ( http://weblogs.asp.net/soever/archive/2006/11/09/SharePoint-2007-_2D00_-_2F005F00_layouts-and-how-to-create-pages-that-run-in-site-context.aspx ) about ASPX and code behind files within the sharepoint content. This works, but of course you don't get the great masterpage system provided by Sharepoint and SharePoint designer. VSeWSS CTP is out, tried that, works but only once (still ctp, so... ...Show All

• TurboTom How do I change the URL setting

  I'm a newbie here and trying to figure out how to change the URL setting. I did the basic install taking all the recommended install settings.

• b182f117 Detecting internal calls in business object without using TLS or overloaded internal method

    Hi Forum I have the following problem. I need to know whether a call to a business object was made from another business object or directly from the UI. I need this because of Security and Logging reasons. Security - Users might not have permission to call the method on a business object. But another business object might need to call it. - But it's the same method :( Logging - I often want to log when a user performs an action. Another business object might also perform that action but then I don't what to log it. But it is the same method. ;( The best solution I have found is to make an internal version of the method with parameters. Like this: public class BusinessObject{ &n ...Show All

• MShetty Where can I download the wss12.xsd file?

  I am trying to edit a .webpart file and would like to add the schema to the properties for the file in VS 2005. However, in my 12 hive directory there is only a wss.xsd file and no wss12.xsd or anything resembling that.

• Leomath looking to improve efficency or finding a different control

  This question mainly has to deal with web forms. Let's say I want the user to select from a combobox-type control (which I'll explain in a bit) and let the user choose from 8000 different options. First of all, we have our own custom control that consits of a text box and a list box that shows up underneath which acts as a combobox. To eliminate a huge performance hit on the browser, we load all 8000 items on startup into Javascript arrays. After that, when the user types a single letter, results with that starting character are displayed in the listbox and so on. What I'm interested in is a little better architecture of this problem. Hopefully I've explained it in a way that you understand, but if not, then let me know. Also, if this ...Show All

• Xancholy Network Load Balancing vs. Hardware Load Balancing (CISCO Arrowpoint)

    Hi Have a query regarding using the Windows 2003 Network Load Balancing Service. My ISP provides Load Balancing functionality via there CISCO (Arrowpoint) Device. We were experiencing some problems with the Arrowpoint so during testing I installed the NLB service and got all my websites working to a tee I decided that this is perhaps the best way forward anyway as I had more control over adding and removing servers to the cluster, but none the less I decided to ask my ISP's advice as to which solution was the best. Their response was... "Microsoft's implementation of NLB is not a particularly network friendly application of load balancing. It operates by spoofing the source MAC address in ARP replies. This causes all switches ...Show All
