What language is this written in No, I didn't find any bugs because I didnt really try it out . I read that sometimes saving is screwey... How do you make it write the data to the file Because that could be why it dosen't save properley. Tag: Commerce Server 2007 Catalog and inventory schema manager - property metadata Architecture

    - Trigger .PLAY of Media Elements on dynamic Timeline? Hello Charlie. well, i guess things are a little different with silverlight. I've just started looking at it now too, but i've noted that here you have more flexibility in the way you define your timelines and storyboards but there's also more complexity in performing the kind of thing you want to do. for instance, animations are allways related with changing the value of a property (which is really the same principle you follow when you use flash), but with wpf/, there's not an easy way to drop a mp3 file on the movie and make it start playing. in order to do that, i really think that you'll have to write javascript code and maybe interact with animations (though I'm not sure if animations will help you in this scenario...)

    - Crackling Sound with Sigmatel and Windows Vista. I have an XPS M1210 (sigmatel audio). For me the crackle and stutter seems to be more common on things that use cpu or network, like my slingbox player. That said, it happens with everything, even occasionally with system notification sounds. It is not a DVD/CD drive specific problem for me. The machine shipped with XP, which did not have this problem at all. So, I'm confident that it is not a hardware problem. I did a clean install of Vista. I have installed every BIOS and driver update that I can get my hands on, with no luck. It really sucks. Otherwise, I really like this machine. This makes me want to avoid Dell next time, though.

    - Standard for base constructors I definitely haven't seen that done before, as a standard at least, only when required. My view on this is more that you should carefully consider all code that you write, regardless of what standards you have in place. A good way to enforce this on everything would be to do test driven development. You have to consider the test that you need to make to ensure that a particular aspect of the system is working, then code to that test. In that way, regardless of implementation, you are more likely to have fully considered scenarios, and pre-existing tests will warn you of anything that you forgot about too! I hope that helps you a little, Martin. Tag: Commerce Server 2007 Catalog and inventory schema manager - property metadata Architecture

    - Inventory Problem Hi Our database has some products with variants and others without. The Catalog Manager UI has a method of entering inventory information for those products that have variants via the Variant Inventory tab. However, there is no way of entering the inventory information for those products without variants. Under some product catalogs the inventory tab is displayed for the product, however in our catalog it isn't being displayed. My question is, how do I populate the database with inventory information for those products that do not have variants Is there a database script I can run, or am I supposed to use the catalog web service to populate this information By the way I'm not using the SP1 release.

    - Outlook 2007 search problem Ok Michael, When I started to try out your steps and let it index again until zero, I gave it a try again and did a search and Bingo! It works again. What I suspect fixed the problem was the checking and unchecking in Outlook options. Maybe it fixes the index again in some other way other than manually rebuilding. Ahh...or maybe it was this post that solved the problem and believe me people...if you are having problems with the Instant Search I suggest you try this. It is rather long but read carefully: "Hi, Thanks for using Microsoft TechNet Managed Newsgroup. I'm Leon who will assist you on this issue. I have reviewed your post log carefully and concluded your issue as this: When you perform a search in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, the search returns no e-mail messages that contain the search criteria. Is that correct There are two main causes that this issue may occur. I've listed both for your reference: * Cause 1 ======== This issue occurs if the following conditions are true: 1. You upgraded to Windows Vista from Microsoft Windows XP. 2. Then, you upgraded to a 2007 Microsoft Office suite from an earlier version of Microsoft Office. 3. Outlook 2007 is configured to use the Rich Text Format (RTF) file type for e-mail messages. Alternatively, you received many RTF e-mail messages. When these conditions are true, the RTF file type is no longer registered in Windows Vista. This behavior prevents Outlook 2007 from searching in any RTF e-mail message. To resolve this issue, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. 2. In the view pane, click Classic View. 3. Double-click Indexing Options. 4. In the Indexing Options dialog box, click Advanced. 5. On the File Types tab, locate rtf in the Extensions list. 6. If the Filter Description for rtf is either Plain Text filter or Null filter, the RTF filter must be registered. To do this, follow these steps: a. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. b. Type regsvr32 rtffilt.dll, and then press ENTER. c. When you receive the following message, click OK: DllRegisterServer in rtffilt.dll succeeded. Here is a KB article describes this: 927595 You cannot search RTF e-mail messages in Outlook 2007 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=kb;EN-US;927595 * Cause 2 ======= This cause is a known issue that this problem occurs if the following conditions are met: 1. A computer that is running Microsoft Windows Vista has User Account Control (UAC) turned on. 2. You run Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 by using elevated user rights. In this scenario, you cannot index e-mail messages or search e-mail messages because the SearchProtocolHost.exe process cannot open the same handle to the personal folders (.pst) file that Outlook 2007 uses. Outlook 2007 uses this handle when you run Outlook 2007 by using elevated user rights. Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products. If this is your situation, then I!ˉm afraid to say, this scenario won!ˉt be fixed. The reason why we don't fix this scenario is that in general, users should never, ever be running Outlook "more elevated" than the rest of the desktop; if they are (and they're using it for searching and other day-to-day tasks), they're doing something that's now unsupported and has reduced functionality as a result. There is also a KB article which describes this: 923937 You cannot index e-mail messages or search e-mail messages when you run Outlook 2007 by using elevated user rights on a computer that is running Windows Vista http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=kb;EN-US;923937 Hope this helps! Regards, Leon Hao" Thanks to Leon Hao. Maybe trying this solved the problem. Thanks again Tag: Commerce Server 2007 Catalog and inventory schema manager - property metadata Architecture

    - Built-in filter over in-memory content I have a pile of documents stored in SQL Server 2005 for which I'd like to provide the capability to search via WDS. I've modeled the database as a hierarchical store with one root-level container that simply contains all the documents. And actually, right now, my protocol handler is hardcoded to return exactly one document. So I've got one protocol handler that handles URLs for the protocol "cambridge". It maps to one of two URL accessors: RootUrlAccessor and ItemUrlAccessor. RootUrlAccessor handles the single URL cambridge://localhost/. ItemUrlAccessor handles all the others. So far, so good. Where I run into trouble is getting the item's content itself into the index. It's HTML, so I want to just have the system pick the appropriate IFilter and do the magic itself. As such, I've implemented GetDocFormat to return text/html, and BindToStream to return the HTML. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to do it for me. I see two odd behaviors. First, if I run select system.itemUrl from systemindex where scope='cambridge:' and contains(*, 'foo') I get no results, even though the HTML document in question contains the word 'foo'. Second, this only returns one result: select system.itemUrl from systemindex where scope='cambridge:' The URL it returns is the root URL: cambridge://localhost/. Which almost seems like the child item isn't making it into the index. However, if I change ItemUrlAccessor to return E_NOTIMPL from GetDocuemntFormat and change GetFileName to return something like "foo.htm" (a relative path, and there is no file with that name anywhere), then I *do* get two entries for that second query: the root and the child URL. I guess at this point I'm not even sure what my question is. My goal is to implement a URL accessor that returns some HTML via BindToStream so that it gets indexed, but I don't have to write an IFilter implementation.

    - XML on one line problem. I'm using a BizTalk ( BizTalk 2006 R1) mapping to make some minor changes on an XML input file but the output XML is appearing on 1 line rather than seperate lines like the input file.

    - How to design (.NET Application & SQL Database) Fraud/Suspicious Activity Detection Application for Financial Organization I suggest you should have 2 databases: 1. An OLTP database for writing data (transactions). 2. An OLAP database for data analysis and rules application. Database synchronization should be done using SQL 2005 mirroring asynchronously so as not to affect performance. Since the rules are applied as a batch at night and the rules only change like twice a year and a report is sent the next day, I would create a scheduled job to sun at night. The job could either run a SQL stored procedure that checks the data and creates a report. OR you could get Biztalk to apply the rules as the transactions are recorded to the database (OLAP). I hope this helps you, please provide me with your feedback and comments. Tag: Commerce Server 2007 Catalog and inventory schema manager - property metadata Architecture

    - Error while adding a dll under Components Bindings Hi I am getting the following error while trying to bind a .NET dll in a process in RFID. When I try to validate the process i get this error. " The process has a component that is not reachable. None of its event handler methods will ever get called. There is no path for system type starting from a logical device that reaches this event handler. One common reason for this happening is that there are event handlers but no logical devices in the process. The event handler is <EventHandlerDefinition xmlns:i=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance " xmlns=" http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Microsoft.SensorServices.Rfid.Design "> <componentName>notify</componentName> <eventHandlerInfo> <assembly>RFID.SCM.ManufacturerRFIDProcess, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2318a97b4faa0bce</assembly> <className>Microsoft.Rfid.Samples.AudioAlert</className> <description>AudioAlert</description> </eventHandlerInfo> </EventHandlerDefinition>. Verify if this event handler is properly positioned in the process pipeline. " Also can I call a Web Service from the Event Handler.. Is this the right method.. When ever a TAG is detected by the RFID scanner .NET Eventhandler (Component) gets executed Which will then call a Web Service. Is this the right approach, or there are some other approaches too. for this. One more question. how can we get some additional information other then TAG info in the EvenetHandler. I am using the BeepEHSample for generating TAGS etc... I am not using any of the physical devices.

    - Windows app, seperating programming and GUI layer. Yes thats right. Urgh - your such a complicated user (just kidding!) Your Business Layer won't be effected, well generally all projects require maintainence any way but your BLL has all the methods it ever needs, and more. The GUI layer should be closely tightened I believe with the BLL as that is really where the requirements come from (The first half of it) - what the user needs access to via UI and what the UI Controls needs access to - the BLL will have these methods to support those requests. If you want to chance your GUI later on, thats fine. Keep the methods in the BLL and add more methods if required or modify existing ones (tweak them) - no application is perfect. Take for instance SQL Server. The BLL has always changed as well as the UI but they are both tightly coupled together with still support for the older GUI's, since they really generated the requirements for the methods for the application itself. Complicated, I know. KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid (thats the rule). Interesting discussion though :-) Tag: Commerce Server 2007 Catalog and inventory schema manager - property metadata Architecture

    - How to make UI proof middle tier? Just to clarify things here... I agree that the original poster would have meant the middle tier, and understand the question. My point was regarding confusion. I don't see how it is ever good to make the middle tier aware of, or coupled to the UI. Ever. Since WPF and ASP.NET was mentioned I thought that it was relevant to point out that the original poster could be confused about the terminology, especially as a middle tier in a good design, i.e. one that could be service oriented, could be closely coupled to presentation. MVC, and MVPs are absolutely what the poster is asking about, as he asks if we can swap an ASP.NET page with a WPF page, or a silverlight page or whatever. That's the easiest way to do it in my opinion. Technology isn't architecture. Architecture is architecture, driven from requirements. To choose a technology is a different question, one that requires consideration of the architecture, and hence the requirements. How does choosing an technology have anything to do with the UI WCF, WPF, Remoting, DCOM, all technologies that are available to implement an architecture, not patterns. The architecture, the design are all how you use these great technologies to their fullest potential by decoupling them from each other, and reducing dependencies. If you implement a work controller in the client, then that's basically a desktop type application, if you manage it on the server, then it is more like a distributed environment. This is really dependent upon the requirements for the application. And my advice would be to decouple it such that it can be used for either, which is a fairly straight-forward process. With regard to agile development, and switching presentations, if the application is truly decoupled, then you will be able to swap presentation as required. You have to remember though that your ASP.NET application has to be written so it is very thin, and calls into the middle tiers which have the real business logic. The ASP.NET application really should be only concerned with presentation, for it's target platforms (HTML). In this case, the ASP.NET code behind on the server would be, and could be considered a presenter in an MVP, although you could further abstract that into classes if you like. The architecture to seperate presentation from business logic (middle tiers) is the MVP type patterns (reading at martinfowler.com). The architecture to implement your business logic is likely to be composed of a number of patterns and practices patterns that you could use to make your life easier. You wouldn't typically use WCF as a middle tier by itself, it can be used along with WWF to implement workflows, communications and such like, but is very specific to a particular area of the application. These technologies are very good, but by themselves will not automatically leave you with a good architecture or solution ultimately. That's just down to good architecture and design! I hope this clears up a few points, and leaves you with some things to research. If you have more questions, by all means fire me another post, and I'll try and answer it more specifically.

    - WDS is slowing down System Performance Guys, I too am having a serious performance problem with Office 2007 on my Windows XP SP2 system. It's a Toshiba Portege M400 with 2GB RAM and a 100GB 7200rpm disk. The system screamed with Office 2003 and Outlook 2003.

I updated all system components from Microsoft, Adobe Acrobat (to v8) and Norton Inet Sec (latest). It's worse than ever. Weird thing is that when I installed Vista on this system on another drive, I had no issues. What is Microsoft doing here I cannot stay on Vista because none of my programs are supported.

    - Vista-to-Vista WDS Not Querying Remote Index I did some testing and it turns out that there is indeed a bug here. If you share your entire drive you can only do remote queries from the root share, not subfolders. This only affects the scenario where the root of the drive is the share. So one workaround would be to create separate shares for the folders you want to be remotely queryable. Another possibility would be to move those folders under a new folder under the drive's root, and then share that new folder. So you have K:\folder1, K:\folder2 that you want to query remotely. Move folder1 and folder2 under a new folder, Dummy, so you'd have K:\Dummy\folder1, K:\Dummy\folder2. Then you can share out Dummy and still access all files at the same share. The benefit is that you would only have to create one share and could access and query everything remotely through it the same way as before, but the downside is you'd have to move all those files. We will fix this in the next release. Thanks for reporting this issue! Tag: Commerce Server 2007 Catalog and inventory schema manager - property metadata Architecture

I need to group the properties of a product. For example:
--descriptive properties--
name
description
picture
--technical properties--
battery type
screen type
material
--physical properties--
size
weight

A solution is to edit the property metadata and assign a new property "group". However, when i create or edit a property (using the catalog and inventory schema manager) the form does not display the new metadata property. The new field is added in the tables of the catalog database, but the catalog and inventory schema manager does not allow to edit this field.

any suggestion
thanks in advance

Does the user have access to edit the catalog properties I just did this operation and I have no issues editing the catalog meta data property.

As a test make sure that you are a member of the Administrator role in AzMan for CatalogandInventorySystem. Next try to edit the catalog meta data property if this works then you have permission issues.

Re: Commerce Server 2007 Catalog and inventory schema manager - property metadata

jcarlosrestrepo

Thank you Max, but i have reviewed the permissions and i am a member of the administration role for CatalogAndInventorySystem.

The Catalog and inventory schema manager allows me to edit the property metadata without errors but i expect that once the metadata have been edited, the form for creating/editing new properties refreshes dynamically and shows the new metadata properties. For example, I expect that when i create/edit a property, the form shows the "group" field (previously added as a metadata property) but the form is always the same, with the same fields (Property name, Data type, display on site, ...)

Re: Commerce Server 2007 Catalog and inventory schema manager - property metadata

Max Akbar - MSFT

No, the two UIs work differently and they cache schema data on the client system. The UIs do not share any cache, this means that after you make schema changes you need to either restart your Catalog Manger UI or hit the refresh button. Sorry the UIs are not smart enough to detect schema changes.
