Microsoft and other vendor Software Release Schedules

I’ve added a page to IC for recording details of release schedules for software used by iMIS – for example the next versions of Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Office.

If you come across any information on release schedules for products that we use or integrate with can you update it here.

How to right click on a folder in Windows Explorer and select “Open as Visual Studio Website”

I found this here - it is pretty useful

http://weblogs.asp.net/bradleyb/archive/2005/12/09/432802.aspx

This is how to add a command to the shell to open a folder as a web site in Visual Studio 2005 or 2008.

Visual Studio 2005/2008 does not support this by default but you can enable the scenario by writing a macro.

To do this, create a new macro either in an existing module or in a new module. For this example I’m going to add a module call Website to the MyMacros project.

MCTS Exam 70-528

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.

Link to Customer record creates customer portfolio crash

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.

Dot Net 2.0 ObjectDataSource

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.

Error when trying to link to event registration

I am writing a custom asp.net application in C# for a client in Brisbane (REIQ). This application is integrated into iMIS and will be accessed from the Certification module.
One of the pages has a datagrid which has a hyperlink column. When you click on the link on this column, it should take you to that event registration.

The URL I am using is:
e.g.
imisnet:event/4010/b51192e0-332d-40c0-8c25-e777ffe750c0-key_event

ibo.NET event registrations

I am writing a ASP.NET application which will need to perform some event registrations. I thought it would be a good idea to use ibo for .NET.
Where could I get some sample code to help me out on this.
The COM version of the code that I want using coldfusion looks like this:
