What is the problem The error message tells you : [HostingEnvironmentException: Failed to access IIS metabase.] !> The process account used to run ASP.NET must have read access !> to the IIS metabase (e.g. IIS://servername/W3SVC) how can I fix it? Since you're using ASP.NET 2.0, all you have to do is run : aspnet_regiis -ga WindowsUserAccount ( from a command line in the .Net framework 2.0.50727 directory ) Also, if you attempted impersonation in web.config, remove the entry. That will make the user default back to whichever default account ASP.NET uses in your OS . If you're using XP , the account is "ASPNET". If you're using Server 2003, the account is "Network Service". If you're using Vista, the account is " Network Service ". You can also attempt to unregister and then re-register the default account ASP.NET uses. To do that, first run : aspnet_regiis -u and then run : aspnet_regiis -i The first ...

Software Architecture is defined to be the rules, heuristics and patterns governing : ·          Partitioning the problem and the system to be built into discrete pieces ·          Techniques used to create interfaces between these pieces ·          Techniques used to manage overall structure and flow ·          Techniques used to interface the system to its environment ·          Appropriate use of development and delivery approaches, techniques  tools Why it is important? The primary goal of software architecture is to define the non-functional requirements of a system and define the environment. The detailed design is followed by a definition of how to deliver the functional behavior within the architectural rules. Architecture is important because it: · ...

One of the limiting factors in using the default forms (NewForm.aspx, EditForm.aspx) is that there is no obvious way to hide columns from appearing in the form.  By default all columns in a list or document library will appear in your forms.  After doing quite a bit of research on this I found a fairly easy way to hide fields by using JavaScript within the form pages themselves.  In my research I found several different sets of JavaScript code, but some of the scripts are easier to implement than others.  Below I provide the best and most straight forward JavaScript and some simple steps to guide you along. To hide fields in a SharePoint 2007 form, follow these steps (I will use the NewForm.aspx in my example) Open SharePoint Designer and navigate to the site that contains the list or document library you wish to customize. Expand the folder named “Forms” under the desired list or document library.  You should see about seven .aspx pages (AllItems.aspx,...

Background: Security for my sharepoint web site depends on windows authentication. Our workstations are members of the authenticating domain; our users log in to the domain when they access their workstation. The sharepoint web server is also a member of the same domain. One reason I’m blogging this is because I hope to get any misunderstandings I have cleared up by good comments. I was not able to find any setting – either in iis, web.config, any sharepoint site setting, etc that would force a timeout when you use windows authentication. I found posts recommending that people use forms authentication if they really wanted to enforce timeouts. So, why would anybody want timeouts if they are already secured by windows authentication? I think it’s something like the distinction between security and security theater. We had had a problem where our users put up a number of Microsoft office documents, and then each time they attempted to open a doc, they got a windows authentication ...

If you are having problems loading a Silverlight 2.0 application, and you have exhausted all options, you may need to register the XAP file extension in IIS. I banged my head against the wall (well, not  really ) trying to figure out why my application wasn’t loading. It turns out to be a simple fix.  Register the MIME type for  .xap  to  application/x-silverlight-app . 1. Go to Start\Administrative Tools and run IIS Manager 2. Right click on the server name and select "Properties" 3. In the Properties Dialog, click on the "MIME Types" button 4. In the "MIME Types" Dialog, click the "New" button 5. In the "MIME Type" Dialog enter one MIME Type at the time: .xap     application/x-silverlight-app .xaml    application/xaml+xml .xbap    application/x-ms-xbap For detailed information on Silverlight, visit  http://silverlight.net/ .
