• SharePoint Products and Technologies Hide Menu Items

  Hi How do you hide the built in menu options on a sharepoint site (i.e. Site Settings, Create, etc) I have a user which I have setup as a "Reader" yet he seems to have full control over the site. Also, I have a web part on the home page which has a link labelled "Add New Link" - again this user has access to this link and is able to add links to the site - how can I disable this Thanks in advance! Will It actually sounds like the user may have more rights than you think. Would they belong to a group that may have elevated rights SharePoint V3 has been written so that if you do not have rights to a particular action you will not see it. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ListViewItem selection and focus.

  I have code that enables the drag and drop of a ListViewItem to a Canvas. The problem I have is when the ListView is just populated. I have to select the item once with a mouse click and then again to get the drag to start. If I click on it just once while keeping the left mouse button down it doesn't seem like the item is actually selected yet. I think if I just make sure that the first item in the list is actually selected and focused everytime the list loads I will be fine. Can someone tell me how to do that My listview consists of a gridview with gridviewcolumns bound to an xmldataprovider. Thanks! That what I have currently and it doesn't seem to work. If I just have one row for example I have to s ...Show All

• SQL Server Restore fails

  Hi, I'm using VB.net (VS2005 pro) and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. I made a Windows Forms application that uses SMO to backup and restore a SQL database. User instance = false. I am using ClickOnce for deployment. Backup (also using SMO) is working fine, but Restore fails. I'm getting this error: The file 'database_veryverylongpath_and_name' cannot be overwritten. It is being used by database 'database_veryverylongpath_and_name'. On my developing machine all works fine, but after publishing and installing (ClickOnce) on another machine, restore using SMO fails (backup succeeds). When restoring the database using SQL Server Management Studio (using the exect same backup-file as I do in code) all works fine (no matter w ...Show All

• Visual C++ strtol strangeness?

  I'm probably missing something very simple, perhaps I'm tired. Why is it that the line of code "DWORD DWordValue = 0xF988FA1F; " places the proper hex value into the DWordValue variable (4186503711, 0xF988FA1F), but this line of code "DWordValue = strtol("0xF988FA1F", NULL, 16);" places the unanticipated value (2147483647, 0x7FFFFFFF) Don't Long and DWORD size to 4 bytes What am I doing wrong I am testing this because I need to read hex strings in from a file, and then write them as REG_DWORDs to registry sub-key named values. (Any easy ways to do that would also be useful). Definitely weird, and I can only make wild speculations. This could be a bug in strtol, or it ...Show All

• Visual Basic copy & paste in visual basic 2005 datagrid

  Hi I am building a datagridview form in VisualStudio 2005 and I want the user to be able to copy or paste the content of a cell without needing to select its text first (as this can become tyresome after a while). In excell databased tables you're able to copy the cell's content just by selecting the cell and pressing ctrl + C (not actually selecting the text inside the cell). Can't seem to do it with my visual studio form. Thanx for any help You can capture the key press by handling the KeyUp event on the DataGridView. Below is some sample code showing how to determine if control-c was pressed. Private Sub OnGridKeyUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByV ...Show All

• SQL Server Help: How to improve the speed of Sync.

  I have a table which has around 132000 rows with 24 columns. I use rda.pull download the data to PDA. For query these data, I must create a index on 5 character columns. The data download time is good enough, around 4 mins. But it takes 12mins to create the index. Please help to give me any idea on how to improve the whole synchroniztion speed. Thanks! I don't have a sample, but in brief you could make a solution similar to the following: Use the same RDA.Pull code on a web server (scheduled task or service) as you are using now, and create the indexes. Zip the file. Pick the file up from the PDA (using the HttpWebRequest class), a sample of this is available below (from the following artic ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies LOL: No Knowledge about Knowledge Network

  Steve, Agree completely with you... very nice product and a nice add in to your search capabilites. Sizzle, Im not sure on the exact date of RTM so to speak but with regards to the Technical Preview statement. Yes its true they have backed away from a full blown support model for this release but..... and this is a good but.... I have been working with this product for some time now and I have never encountered any issue on the server side. It sits very nice and quietly and does what its supposed to do. Very little is needed in the way of support for this from what I have experienced. So the question is... do you take the chance and run this in your envioronments without the full support of the product Normally I would say no but ...Show All
