iMIS Community

Hello Everyone, it's the Newbie again.

I want to alter the appearance of the event grid found in Courses/Core/Events/Events.aspx  => ie. asiweb:Lister2 id="EventsGrid"

but I am a complete newbie to all things iMIS and ASPX etc.  Where do I find a list of avaliable asiweb objects (ie. Lister2)? And any tips / references on getting started with aspx etc?  I love the forum but many of the questions/discussions are over my head right now....

Morning,

Has anyone had any experience with attaching a file to a Customer Activity record using a stored procedure?

We use TaskCentre to run a stored procedure to generate activities for emails but would like to start adding a pdf version of the email as an activity (the same way iEmail does).
Before I go down the road of trying to write it I wanted to see if their was generic code floating around.

This NUnit TestFixture demonstrates some unexpected behavior in CPayments.  Note that you will need to alter or provide some of the values to run on your machine, if you so choose, but I think you can see by reading this some gotchas to look out for:

using System;
using System.Configuration;

            Assert.AreEqual(EnumPaymentType.CreditCard, payment.PaymentType);
        }
    }
}

For automated tests, I need to get CCashAccounts from the database and insert CCashAccounts into the database.  How can I do this?  Is there some parent object I need to use to obtain or insert CCashAccounts?

Last Friday, I had started to blog about a couple of new shortcuts I learned of on Lifehacker.com.  Just before posting, I accidentally discovered another one that blew away the content of my post.

In Windows Explorer (Vista and 7):

• Rename Files Fast with the Tab Key - I started using this with file preview to quickly rename scanned files that the scanner delivers as datestamp.pdf.  This method also helps overcome the frustion of delays when trying to right-click to rename files on far-remote mapped drives or WebDAV drives.
• Rename Windows Files in Bulk  - I was happy to find this.  Not too long ago, I resorted to a batch file to do a very similar rename.

I have a client who wants a list of a particular member type (REG) who reside in Canada or in Washington State.

This is really easy to do with SQL: SELECT Full_Name, ID, State_Province, Country, Member_Type FROM Name WHERE STATE_PROVINCE = 'WA' OR COUNTRY = 'Canada'

I tried using IQA in the following ways:

1. Create a query where I use the CsContact BO and Filter Member Type = "Regular" AND State Province = "Washington" OR Member Type = "Regular" AND Country = "Canada" Depending on the order, I either get all Washington or All Canada, but never both.  If I try Member Type = "Regular" and State Province = "Washington" or Country = "Canada" I get the same results, depending on the order
    
2. I tried creating two queries - one where Member Type = "Regular" and Country = "Canada" and one where Member Type = "Regular" and State Province = "Washington" then used left outer joins to the CsContact BO for each of them, but got multiple lines for each result and only ID numbers, no other fields
    
3. I created a query to just show Member Type = "Regular" and then used it as my source for a query where Country = "Canada" or State Province = "Washington" and was able to get only Canada and Washington but for every member type.

The only solution I could find was to use State Province and select all the Canadian provinces as well as Washington.  This works for now, but in the future they will be asking me for this type of thing again and it may not be possible to make the filtering selections from one field.  Did I do something wrong with my joins or my filters?

This is a command script I use to reset the iMIS world completely in my local development environment, making sure nothing's cached in IIS or ASP.NET.  The script stops the Publishing and Workflow services, stops IIS, deletes the files in the ASP.NET cache, starts everything back up, and recycles the application pool used by iMIS.

Copy the lines below and save them in a .cmd file.  It needs to be run as administrator. 

I'm working on a general library to use in all my iParts.  As part of that, I want to be able to log not only which iPart had an error, but which specific content item experienced a problem.

So the constructor for my library class looks like:

public MyLibrary(Asi.Business.ContentManagement.ContentItem ci)
{
    string s = ci.ContentItemName;
    ...
}

The following NUnit-driven demos demonstrate that setting CPayment's CashAccountCode before setting the CreditCardNumber will lead to unexpected errors:

    [TestFixture, Explicit("demos")]   
    public class UnexpectedExceptions
    {
        [TestFixtureSetUp]
        public void TestFixtureSetUp()
        {
            iboAdmin.InitializeSystem(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DataSource.iMIS.Connection"].ConnectionString);
        }

        [Test]
        [ExpectedException(typeof(ArgumentOutOfRangeException))]
        public void Demo_Setting_CreditCardNumber_After_CashAccountCode_CausesUnhandledException_1()
        {
            var payment = new CPayment(CStaffUser.GetDefaultStaffUser())
            {
                CashAccountCode = cashAccountCode,
                CreditCardNumber = "4007000000027"  // VISA test number, eh?
            };
        }

        [ExpectedException(typeof(Asi.iBO.InvalidCardNumberException))]
        public void Demo_Setting_CreditCardNumber_After_CashAccountCode_CausesUnhandledException_2()
        {
            var payment = new CPayment(CStaffUser.GetDefaultStaffUser())
            {
                CashAccountCode = cashAccountCode,
                CreditCardNumber = "011201539123"   // it's irrelevant how I came up with this number.
            };
        }  
    }

I have a publishing server that is throwing an error when I try to 'show all' errors in the error log.  I can not delete any errors for this particular server because the buttons do not display.  The error is below. 

The publishing is still working to the web server that this publishing server is dedicated to.  I have restarted the service and both my app server and web server but no change.
