    - Parallax - BoeBot - How to Toggle a single port - Hi Jeff, I didn't hear any more on this topic. Did you figure it out If not, I have an updated version of the Boe-Bot services that allows you to toggle a pin, e.g. an LED, make a sound, and also implements DriveDistance and RotateDegrees using a timer on the robot (not a very good approach because it is "blind" during these moves, but it works). Let me know if you want a copy of the service. Trevor Tag: Commerce Server 2007 StarterSite layout understanding Architecture

    - Envelopes I've setup a receive location through which all my XML messages will come through. It's standard out of the box biztalk except I'm a little puzzled by envelopes. If I have, say 100 different XML schema's each with envelopes, it appears I have to manually list each envelope in the EnvelopeSpecName field of the XMLdisassembler pipeline properties so it can find them. It seems that I'm going to have quite a list for this receieve location. Is there a better way Seems klunky to have the ability to associate many schemas and maps with a receieve location but have to specify each envelope at the pipeline property level.

    - Howto use a media player plug-in to control lights? Hi, We would like to create a media player plug-in that controls some lights based on the music playing. What is the best approach to do this. We tried a visualisation plug-in but than we don't get samples when the player is minimized. When using a DSP plug-in we always get samples but we can't synchronize the audio with the light effects, due to buffering. Does anyone have any ideas of other possibilities to achieve this Thanks Tag: Commerce Server 2007 StarterSite layout understanding Architecture

    - Dedicated Partnered Services We've been hard at work here on a simulator for the Urban Challenge. It's based on our own vehicle dynamics model and simulation engine (no slight intended at the MSRS group's much more advanced and significantly more robust simulator), and works quite well thanks to MSRS's proxy system. We build "dummy" services that model actuator response instead of controlling actuators, as well as provide dynamically generated sensor data, but leave the proxy the same. Our navigation and path following algorithms don't even require recompilation to switch between simulation and the real world! The problem we're running into is adding other vehicles to the simulator. It'd be plenty sufficient for the time being to implement other vehicles with the same behaviors as our own vehicle's, but we're not sure what the right way to accomplish that would be in MSRS. Our vehicle essentially consists of a "stack" of services - at the highest level is sensor input, then comes path planning, and finally actuation. What'd be ideal is some way of creating services in groups - i.e. a "Vehicle" consists of all the services that are required, and the individual services that make up a "Vehicle" could each be addressed. Is there any way of guaranteeing which instance of a service you'll be talking to The best approach we've come up with so far is to use a DSS node for each vehicle. While it would work, it'd be rather annoying to coordinate and add a bunch of overhead. Is there a more reasonable approach that we're overlooking Thanks, Jonathan Tag: Commerce Server 2007 StarterSite layout understanding Architecture

    - Manual Testing woes Some additional thoughts after comments of other people: For 1&2: Debug logs may also help. The appliction that I test have detailed debug log, so we usually can reconstruct what happened. If your app is V1, you may ask your developer to add debug logs. For 3: Finding bug-prone areas is an art, and there is no definitive answers. Others have mentioned factors that can indicate complexity. For tester, (1) Once you found a bug in an area that was not well tested before, it often leads to the discovery of a class of many bugs, so you should immidiately follow important bugs and explore similiar bugs. This is easy (2) The hard part is to predict the complexity with the factors others pointed out, and allocate test efforts. Testers with lots of experience with the product usually can give good estimates. For managers, you should look at complexity measures and predict number of bugs. If the predicted number of bugs is not found by testing, you should worry about the effectiveness of the testing. Such prediction only works for large product with many bugs, because many factors can make the bug count for smaller products look random.

    - Display cutom xml text in multiple lines inside a Rich text content control in Word 2007. Hi Kris, to allow multiple lines of text and databinding use normal carriage-return newline tags. You can easily get a good sample of how the XML should look by using Word. (I can send a valid document, but using these steps you can create your own). First crank up Word and create a new empty document. Add a plain-text control to the document (rich text controls cannot data-bind) Next go to the developer tab and open Visual Basic. Create and run a new method with the following code: Sub test() Dim part As CustomXMLPart Set part = Application.ActiveDocument.CustomXMLParts.Add("<root><text/></root>") Call Application.ActiveDocument.ContentControls.Item(1).XMLMapping.SetMapping("/root/text", , part) End Sub Open the document in Package Explorer and save the Item1.xml file to disc and open the binary. The following sequence contains a few characters (asasdsadasd) and a newline, some characters again. The lines are delimited using a carriage return-newline combo ( 0D 0A in hex) <root><text>asdasdasd asdsad sad as dsa dsa da</text></root> Hope it helps, Wouter Tag: Commerce Server 2007 StarterSite layout understanding Architecture

    - Are causalities scoped to Arbiter/delegate depth? Hi i must have misunderstood this statement: "New question: What happens if Delegate.RemoveCausality () throws What about if Delegate.AddCausality () throws Unlike try-catch, both can throw OutOfMemoryException." I any case, to answer your first question, the causality is scopped within the method that adds it, but if within this delegate or method you do a port.Post, then whichever handler wakes up due to that post, will also carry this causality (it flows when you post). But if you dont do anymore posts, then the causality will evaporate when the delegate finishes, not ever "escaping" that delegate Tag: Commerce Server 2007 StarterSite layout understanding Architecture

    - GetAllowedStatus returning null? Kevin, If you use an OrderManagementContext instead of an OrderContext, does this work correctly Code Snippet OrderServiceAgent agent = new OrderServiceAgent( http://localhost/OrdersWebService/OrdersWebService.asmx ); OrderManagementContext context = OrderManagementContext.Create(agent); DataSet ds = context.GetAllowedStatus(); This will go through your web service tier and pull the allowed status codes from there, which might work for what you're doing.

Hello All,

This might seem like a dumb question to many of you. I apologise, but I am new to asp.net and am trying to understand the layout of the StarterSite.

On the homepage, the Products menu item is linked to this path '/StarterSite/Products/Default.aspx' when clicked. But I cannot seem to find a folder under StarterSite called 'Products' with a default.aspx file under it. Am I missing something here Can anybody please help me understand or pointme to someplace I can read about it and understand I need to make changes to this site for my project.

Will appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Nicky

Re: Commerce Server 2007 StarterSite layout understanding

Max Akbar

There is webcast that goes over the Starter Site check out http://blogs.msdn.com/commerce. The Starter Site uses a URL rewriter to help sites with search engines, so that's why you don't see the actual page because it doesn't exist.

Hi Nicky,

Actually, onclicking the Products menu, it goes to sandardlayout.master page from where it is calling controls/productlist.ascx file.

I hope this is the information you need. Hope this helps you.
