• SharePoint Products and Technologies Can you use Active Directory Manager data in workflow?

  I can’t seem to find a way to automatically rout a workflow task to a user’s manager using the person’s "manager" value from Active Directory. This seems like such a basic task, but I don’t see any option for it in the workflow roles available in SharePoint or SharePoint Designer. Has anyone had luck with this I am quite surprised this is not supported out of the box... In all my days of building these tpyes of flows.. this is one of the most common ones that developers need to develop. I am interested if you find a way to accomplish this, I know we can write a custom activity that will route the workflow to the persons manager but I am interested to see if it can be done withou ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can't get collection derived from CollectionBase to work

  I'm stumped. I've got a class inheriting from CollectionBase. The element class is marked as Serializable, as is the collection class inheriting from CollectionBase. I've got the Add method and indexer implemented, but the damn thing still barfs when trying to pass it over the wire via WCF. What's really weird is I cannot get a more defining error from WCF than System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: The socket connection was aborted... blah blah. Useless for figuring out what is really wrong. I'm dying here. Any help Oh, one more thing: if I pass an empty collection, it works. It only throws up when the collection actually has an element in it. Sure, here's the code. First up, the element class, d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Debugging Horribly Slow

  I'm running a P4 3.06Ghz with 1gb ram. I've never had a problem with this computer being slow. I just installed VB 2005 exp and when I converted my vb6 prog to it and started to debug I get a horrible delay of 8 seconds or so each time i use f8 to move to the next line. This ofcourse happened instantly in Vb6. My program is rather large. I'd say around 150pg of code spread over aprox 20 forms and a handful of modules. Is this just too much for the Express edition I'm downloading the trial of the professional just to try but I can't imagine there is that much difference in the editions. I've tried disabling my antivirus and other program that might be taxing the system. I have several hundred megs of ram free and the cpu spikes he ...Show All
