Updated Version of Smart Client SSDS Demo Project is Available for Download

The SSDSNwindEntitiesCS.sln sample project for my "Test-Drive SQL Server Data Services" cover article for the July 2008 issue of Visual Studio Magazine has been updated to SSDS Sprint 3, adds a couple of features, and has a few start-up bugs excised. The project creates, fills, and queries containers/entities with all data in all Northwind tables.

New Features:

The program attempts to create an authority if you haven't added one.
A splash screen opens during the initial query for ACE container and entity object because the process is very slow with a moderate number of objects.

Updates:

The new 'application/x-ssds+xml' MIME type replaces 'application/xml'.
The containerUri = response.Headers[HttpResponseHeader.Location]; instruction which now returns null has been replaced with concatenated constants as the containerUri value. This eliminates a problem when creating new containers with REST operations.

Download: You can download the SSDSNwindEntitiesCS project here (114-KB vs0807rj.zip file at the Visual Studio Magazine site.)

When you mark your own post as an answer

I just marked a couple of my posts in two forums as answered by myself... and I become one of the top answerers for this forum (as well as bug reporting)? I'm not exactly sure that's a good thing.

In that way, new site visitors could become the next top answerer.

What do you think about this?

Take a chance. Prepare to be surprised.

I think marking your own post as answer (when you are OP) should be a separate action from marking someone else's response as answer. No Green check, no contribution to the stats.

Maybe "Resolved" is what we need here, with some different symbol.

The more I think about it, the more I dislike this concept of "The Answer". Many questions do not have a single answer, either because the question was not properly posed (key information missing), or because the observed problem could in fact have more than one cause.

When someone searches the forums for a topic, IMHO they are not interested in whether the original questioner got the answer he/she was looking for; they want the answer for their problem, which might be different. A general discussion of the issue, with a variety of responses, might well be more useful than a thread in which the OP obtained "The Answer".

I know this isn't going to happen, but I think that "Resolved" and "Vote as Helpful" would be much more meaningful than insisting on identifying posts as "The Answer".

Must be an easy forum to moderate if 2 answers gets you to the top.

I solve this moral dilemna by never marking any of my posts. Especially in the old forums where points scores seemed to have a value this obviously meant I had a lower score but at least it was a genuine score.

I also dislike people who in their sigs have a line "mark my post as answer if it helps you" because they too are causing a non-level playing field.

All of us should rely on others to mark good posts without doing it ourselves or pushing anyone else into doing it (imo) !

---------------------

I think the suggestion in the other reply is a good one.

Marking your own post as an Answer should not count in the stats as an answer but should just serve as help for the thread itself. Then I would be out of that moral dilemna and could (occasionally!) mark my own posts ..... and help position the thread as one that didn't need an answer.

------------------------------------
Reply:

Really, it was one answer for this forum.

I've started adding "mark as answer if it helps" to my posts becuase I've learned that sometimes people don't realize the answer/vote as helpful buttons are even there. They just say "thanks" and go away.

I agree that the answer thing is messed up, but I'm not sure changing it to "resolved" is the right way to go about it... maybe try this:

Change "Mark as answer" it to "Mark as Solution," don't allow someone to mark their own post as a solution, remove propose as answer (as not a lot of people use it and it doesn't seem to matter to the OP that much), and change the vote thing to two buttons that are Helpful/Not Helpful.

Make sure the Not Helpful thing shows up in posts (it doesn't now, which is odd), and give a blue background for Helpful.

(Of course, add report as a link beneath the control bar, or something like that).

Take a chance. Prepare to be surprised.

What would help enormously is the information that was displayed on the blue screen.

Without the 'exact' information from the blue screen, it's difficult to determine which hardware component/driver is the source of the stop error.

Go the following link.

Blue Screen Error (BSOD)
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa86/rvmv/BSODDetails.jpg

There are 3 sections outlined in Red. This is the important information that is needed to help pinpoint where the error is coming from.

*NOTE: The BSOD you see may be different from the one in the image, but all of the same information should be there.

The most critical item is the lower section where the name of the driver/component is displayed.

Information: If the blue screen disappears too fast to write down the information, change the following setting.

Open Control Panel, on the Tasks menu, select the Classic View.

Double click System, select the Advanced System Settings on the Tasks menu.

In the Startup and Recovery section, click the Settings button.

Finally, under System Failure, remove the check mark from Automatically Restart option.

This will allow the blue screen to stay on the screen until you manually shut the system down.

VS2005 with VeWSS used to develop SharePoint WebPart??

MOSS is installed in the farm environment (64 bit)

If I install VS 2005 on my workstation (32 bit) and try to develop a web part

What kind of access the workstation needs to MOSS farm?

Can I develop/debug the web part using VS2005 from my WorkStation using VeWSS ?

How about debug via attaching to the worker process?

Thanks

Your workstation will just need access to copy the assemblies over after you build them.

Note VSEWSS only works on Server 2003 so if your workstation is XP you're on your own.

Yes you can enable remote debugging there is a section on it in the FAQ.
http://forums.msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/sharepointdevelopment/thread/5834679b-482b-4924-b881-fa2146840d05

If you are developing in a different domain then the MOSS farm then you will need to make some "tweaks".

On my workstation I created a local account mwasham and added it to the administrators group.

On the server I created a domain account mwasham and added it the administrators group.

I set both of these accounts passwords to be the same one I actually login to my domain in from the workstation.

I configured the Visual Studio 2005 Remote Debugger service on the server to login as the domain\mwasham account (the servers domain).

I then went through Attach to a process and set the remote server in the qualifier box and I'm in!

Slipstreaming Windows XP SP3

I have slipstreamed SP3 with my Windows® XP Home™ Edition SP2 CD, and have had no problems whatsoever.

One point to note though; when running the sfc /scannow command, with SP3 installed, the 'new' slipstreamed SP3 CD will be needed, as the system asks specifically for the SP3 CD (if required).

There are a number of websites that have instructions to slipstream Windows® Service Packs, although the majority are for slipstreaming SP2; however, the basic instructions are the same, suffice to say that the SP3 file name must be substituted...its really a breeze to slipstream too.

As a matter of interest, I have also slipstreamed SP3 with a Windows® XP Professional™ SP2 CD, with the same results that I had with the Home™ Edition.

Hopefully this helps anyone that might have reservations about trying the slipstreaming process.

Kind Regards,

This is not what she is asking for. She wants .sql files to open on her local machine the way they were intended to, but if another user (who doesn't have SQL installed on their workstation) clicks on the file it will open up in Notepad.

------------------------------------
Reply:

Yes, same approach. File will open application based on extension association. If you have SQL server installed, association for .sql files is to SQL server. If you do not, you can make association to notepad. You can also change association to any other application.

issues in windows 2003 server file and print server performance

From last one week our (File & Print) showing poor performance . we analyzed event log , performance log files and also scanned server for virus infection but could not find any error .

To avoid this temporally we restored the 14/07/08 system state backup. After restoration the server is working fine. From 14/07/08 to 27/07/08, we observed only one change happened in server that is WSUS updating the three patches. That patches are KB938759-V4,KB951748 & KB951746.

kindly find whether these patches degraded the server performance.

foreach splistitem loop always returning first item BUG?

I've got a foreach ( splistitem item in list.items) loop but also tried a for (int i =0; ... list.items.count) the webpart always returns me the first item repeated for the number of items in a list so if a list has two items the iteration returns two rows with the same content, this is a really wird behaviour.

I'm using this code http://www.hezser.de/blog/Lists/Beitraege/Post.aspx?ID=38
with an added foreach to iterate all the rows in a list

the controls always return the first item repeated for the number of total items in a list

Please help me, I have no clues!

Reply:

You'll need to IISRESET after you put the new version into the GAC for it to pick up. I recommend BIN deployment, especially for debugging-- I think you'll find that MUCH easier to debug. But with the GAC, do a gacutil deployment, IISRESET, hit the web app so it's started, and then attach to the process. Also you'll need to enable debug in web.config. Search for debug="false" and change it to debug="true". While you're there, you probably also want to turn on full error messages (on your dev box) by enabling the stack trace in the SafeControls node and changing customErrors to "Off" (search for "error" in web.config).

That should get you going. Then attach your debugger and you'll see exactly what's going on.

Typos in the FAQ?

I noticed a couple things while reading through the FAQ:

This section should probably be reworded to say "Medal" instead of "Stars"

    How many points do I need to get a particular star rating?
    The following table lists the points for each star rating.

And what does this last sentence mean?

    What are these little medals under my Display Name?
    The Forums now include a basic recognition system to gauge your participation in the community.
    Based on your actions, you are awarded medals.
    Based on the number of medals you earn, you get the points. ???

Let's say you are working in PowerShell and want to display the current working folder in Windows Explorer.

All you need to do is execute:

That is ii (for Invoke-Item), space, period.

(Of course, if you want to show a child folder, substitute its name in place of the period.)

Sharepoint (MOSS) modifying Page Layouts

Hello, I have a problem deploying a wsp package which contains several page layouts.

One of the page layouts seems to be modified by sharepoint when we install the feature, at the end of the file an HTML tag is appended to my file, which in turn means the master/page layout functionality from .NET is broken. This causes the following error message:

"An error occurred during the processing of /_catalogs/masterpage/Accomodation.aspx. Only Content controls are allowed directly in a content page that contains Content controls."
- i posted the entire page layout at the end of the message...

Now, i did try searching for the problem, and some seem to believe it is caused by some tags/lines/comments in the page layout that sharepoint does not like, someone also mentioned that the list of provisoned files should not contain comments.

So, we went and removed line breaks, comments, and even changed <asp:content> to <asp:Content> (felt stupid while doing that) and tried several times to deploy the package. The deployment works fine, but the page is still broken. My best guess is that, like other seems to have discovered, sharepoint does not like something within the file - but what?

And, in case I do have an error in my page layout, why do they modify the page layout, and thereby introduce an error which makes it more or less impossible to figure out the original problem. The package we are deploying works on our Q&A server, but the exact same package does not work in our production environment...

There also seems to be a simple workaround which involves using sharepoint designer to modify the page layout. Unfortunantly this is not an option if you want to have an automated build process within sharepoint since it means you have to manually implement changes. So, in short, modifying the files within sharepoint - letting sharepoint handle versioning of files is not an option...

Hope someone has a suggestion or some knowledge about this problem...

Thanks...

Looks like you are running into a problem that my friend Rich Finn hit recently. Sounds like he had the same thing happen to him here:

http://blog.richfinn.net/2007/08/06/StrangeResolutionPageLayoutErrorOnlyContentControlsAreAllowedDirectlyInAContentPageThatContainsContentControlsAlongWithMasterPageGalleryErrorQuotThisItemCannotBeDeletedBecauseItIsStillReferencedByOtherPagesquot.aspx

(Man thats a long URL)

In his case he ultimately found that something had lower cased his <asp:Content> tags. Once he corrected that all was well.

Only problem is, the exact same package (we use WSP builder) runs fine on the Q&A server, but when installed into production.

I did read your friends post about this, and also followed his approach. What concerns me is that we don't have consistent behaviour between our environments, and it is annoying me that the system injects markup into my page layouts. Even if I did make an error so .NET cannot parse the page they should never alter my page layouts - period. :-)

The result of the whole thing is that they instead introduce an critical error (breaking the master page/content page framework in .NET) - which in turns means i cannot if and what my error this.

But, thanks for your suggestion - I'll post if I figure out something but would really like to hear if MS have encountered this problem themselves, and if they know what is causing the error. I would not like the sites be offline for a longer duration because our latest patch works fine on one environment, and then be left guessing what is wrong...

Have a nice weekend and thankyou for the response.

Moving to the programming forum.

Please note that you should if you have a problem use the "Ask a Question" option and not the General Discussion option.

One reason for this - apart from the fact that it is a more accurate description of a problem - is that threads of the General Discussion type can't be marked as Answered.

Length User Profile Property of type HTML

Hi,

I am created a new user profile property of type HTML. Your length by default is 2000, But what is the maximum?

Is there a page where you can watch?

Regards!

maximum is 3600 in MOSS. How to store if it exceeds than 3600? Whats your thoughts on binary data type?

Points history

Hi,

It seems that I have had my recogintion points decreased. So does many others by judging from the bug report forum. Mine dropped from about 1500 to 900 and with more than 100 answered posts this doesn't seem right.

Is there any possiblity to add a feature that can show some sort of history for points? Like where they came from and the reason?

We found the problem and should have a fix out some time next week.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I was looking for another post but only found this one. Someone had complained about not being able to find out or see how many points they had when you clicked on the users name.

Select Browse All Users, then search for the user's name.

Are the current points using the final algorithm? I'm fairly certain I lost about 200 points in the move. Not as earth shattering as some, but a little frustrating.

Yes, points are now using the corrected algorithm.

Is there a reason that this information isn't included on the user's profile page like it was before? Searching for a user seems like a terrible clunky way to get information that should be readily available. I find myself often checking user's stats to look at their post/points ratio to see if they have a trend of helpful/answer posts or just have a lot of posts.

cmd.exe NTFS ACL's incorrect on Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions - LUA bug

This prevents scheduled tasks to be run under non admin accounts. This causes security issues because people end up running shellscripts under admin accounts where it isn't necessary.
This issue has been corrected in Windows server 2008.

To verify this try to run a scheduled task that starts "%Systemroot%\System32\cmd.exe" under a standard user account. It won't run by default.
Check the following on a Windows server 2003 and 2008 x64 system on a x64 (!) shell:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>icacls.exe cmd.exe

This is actually true for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
Personally, I prefer the second method in the referenced KB article as it removes the need to continually add user accounts.

Cisco VPN Client 5.0.1 for Vista

While trying to install Cisco VPN client 5.0 on Vista getting a VPN Installation error code 28000. I tried to remove VPN using a 3rd party software however VPN disappeared from Add/Remove programmes but didnot get properly unistalled from the computer. I tried to find a solution about this on the internet but couldn't find much information. Cisco website gives manual unistall intructions for earlier version in Win XP but not for vista. But I have found a way to fix it, hence posting this here, might help others.

Create a ini file: Make sure the ProductFile in here is same as the name of your product file. Also make sure Remove Previous is set to 1.

[WiseInstaller]
Runtime9XVersion=2.0.2600.2
RuntimeNTVersion=2.0.2600.2
ProductFile=vpnclient_setup.msi
ProductCode={14FCFE7C-AB86-428A-9D2E-BFB6F5A7AA6E}
ProductVersion=5.0.1
ProductName=Cisco Systems VPN Client 5.0.01.0600
Remove Previous=1
AdminError=You must have administrator rights to run this installation. Please login as an administrator and re-run this installation.
ExistError=%s Version %s is already installed. You must uninstall the existing version before installing %s Version %s. Do you want to uninstall the existing version of %s?
SpaceError=Could not create temporary file, not enough free temporary disk space. Please free up disk space and rerun this installation.
WiseInitPrefix=Initializing
WiseInitSuffix=Wizard...
WiseInitLangPrompt=
WiseInitLangDefault=English,1033
Runtime9X=instmsi.exe
RuntimeSize9X=1708856
RuntimeNT=instmsiw.exe
RuntimeSizeNT=1822520
DelayReboot=1

Create a folder on your C drive and copy both the ini file and the vpn msi file to that folder. also try to download the files instmsiw.exe and instmsi.exe and copy it to the same folder. Open command promt and do a silent install. In my case

vpnclient_setup.msi /quiet (from the folder I copied the files to)

Reboot your system and run the silent install again. In the first case it unistalls your previous version but does not install vpn. so after you restart and run the silent install again it should install VPN this time. Once its installed it will automatically reboot your computer.

MOSS 2007 Site Collection size question

Hi all, we are looking at deploying a big Extranet/Intranet solution with MOSS 2007, generally what sort of size databases have you guys grown to under a single site collection?

Would we be talkin 10's of gig or 100's of gigs or Terabytes ++ ???

Reply:

Biggest I manage is less than 200GB. I will split DB's when they get bigger than that. Sometimes I split them when they are even smaller. Genneraly it depends on the acceptable recovery time, hardware they are using, clustering , etc.

There was recently released great case study by Microsoft on this issue.
Using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server to implement a large-scale content storage scenario with rapid search availability

Check it out it will give you great guidence.

Hi Ivan, thats really useful,how many users/subsites are running on that Db?

Also you mention spliting the database, can you do that and retain full functionality?

I'll have a read of the MS document tomorrow, but thanks for the reply.

Gary,
About 500 users with 75+ sites.

Absolutely.

Document I mentioned is great and will give you lots of input.

Cheers

Hi Ivan, yes great document, the only item they didn't cover was the actual sizes of the documents they were uploading and the type of content in them for the indexer to capture.

But a great insight on volume, server capacity, Db performance and topolgy, I'd say our is almost correct bar seperating the content Db's for our subsites.

One question though, if our subsite already exists, can you then create a seperate content Db for it and it will migrate?

I've started reading the reference documents noted at the end of that one as well now.... feels like I'm spending 75% of my time living in sharepoint textbooks these days lol
