I attended a Microsoft presentation last night on the new ADO.NET Entity Framework which was released on Monday (11 Aug 08) as part of VS 2008 SP1 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.

The essential idea is to allow developers to use LINQ to work against a conceptual model of the database instead of the physical model.

The Entity Framework uses two XML mappings

SSDL - Store Schema Definition Language (the physical schema)

We need to customize the web interface for our client. I am new in iMis, and our version is iMis15.
Seems simply change the master pages under /templates/masterpages/ folder doesn't affect the front-end look. However if I delete public.master, it reports error. If I put an empty public master page there, it still works as before I made the changes.
I notice all pages are inherited from Asi.Bae.Web.xxxx, does that mean we don't have any easy ways to modify the interface?

I'm trying to figure out how to call IQA Queries. Just for a test I'm trying to call a standard IQA query, pass a value, and read the results or dump into a data set etc...

I can't seem to find even a basic sample on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A bit of help please? Questions would be:
- Am I even on the right track?
- Am I creating the container correctly?
- Does the container need to be further initialized?
- Am I using the QueryBuilder correctly?
- How do I add the parameter to this querybuilder? I see just one key
- Am I executing the QueryBuilder correctly?

SAMPLE CODE,

    public void callIQA()
    {
        //Create the container using a common standard query anyone with iMIS should have
        Asi.Business.BusinessContainer myContainer;
        myContainer = new Asi.Business.BusinessContainer("$.Common.Queries.Search.CsContact.Name");

        //Does something else need to be done to finish initializing the container?


        //Make a querybuilder to be able to execute the query?
        Asi.QueryBuilder.Query myQuery = Asi.QueryBuilder.Query.NewQuery(myContainer);


        //If everything so far is correct, how is the string key formatted for adding parameters? 
        //Example, the above built in container has a possible 'Name' that can be added.  What would
        //be entered to pass the query a   [Last First]=DOE
        //NOTE: the above CsContact.Name sample requires [Last First] to be provided at least one value

        //myQuery.Parameters.Clear();
        //myQuery.Parameters.Add("string key");


        //Execute the query, and see what we get, which is nothing, something's wrong
        System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataReader myReader;
        myReader = myQuery.GetList();

        if (myReader != null)
        {
            while (myReader.Read())
            {
                Response.Write("  

I just passed my first in the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 series of exams, MCTS 70-528 "Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Web-Based Client Develoment". This is one of the two tests required for MCTS .NET Framework 2.0 Web Applications certification. The other test required for this cert is MCTS 70-536 "Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Application Development Foundation", which I'm planning to take sometime soon.

There is a continuing need for a SQL Function or equivalent to decrypt credit card information from iMIS.

Of course there is an overall security concern, but there still are frequent requirements by customers to have a method to decrypt credit card info, beyond the standard reporting in iMIS.

I have done a little research on this. There is just a little info on it in www.imiscommunity.com.

Symptom: If you're seeing random, periodic extremely slow page refreshes on your iMIS app server (full or public view, either one), check the first section of this Howto for the ASP.Net "idle worker process timeout" setting.

The issue is that by default, IIS kills the ASP.Net worker process after 20 minutes of inactivity, causing the next page access to restart the appdomain (leading to that annoying "first hit" slowdown as all the business objects are loaded, iBO initialized, etc).

I ran into this when installing the 3.5 Framework on two Windows 2003 SP2 servers. .NET 3.5 installed with no problems on one, but failed on the other. The full error from the log was:

[03/28/08,17:08:09] Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0a: [2] Error: Installation failed for component Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0a. MSI returned error code 1603
[03/28/08,17:08:46] WapUI: [2] DepCheck indicates Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0a is not installed.

I have written a custom .NET application which is integrated within the iMIS framework and is placed in the Events module. In this application there is a datagrid with a column containing iMIS ID's. When you you click on the ID it loads the record in the Customers module.

The URL being used is "imisnet:contact/1234/85a3ab83-7fe3-417f-af85-61f4d29d30e8-key_contact" where 1234 is an example iMIS ID. The GUID is just hardcoded.

I'm beginning a new project for event registration in imis 10.6 and would like to know if anyone has experience with the new ObjectDataSource in .net 2.0. If not, do we have any C# code that is used for event registration. Any bugs or gotcha's?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is an option to enable E-mail redirecting to a single account to prevent Customers in the database from receiving test E-mails?

Thanks.
