I'm trying to figure a way for a remote user -- using ASP.NET -- to
share files on a local office LAN.
The remote user would go to an ASP.NET website (on the LAN), mark the
files they want, and ASP.NET would facilitate a download, and keep a
record in a small database of who downloaded and uploaded whatever.
These are big files, say 4 MB, so it's best if the remote user downloads
the file, edits it, then uploads it back to some folder on the LAN. FTP
would be good for this.
The problems is versioning. If the remote user downloads a file for
editting then the local users must be prevented from editting the same
file while it is checked-out by the remote user. FTP has no way of
doing this, that's where ASP.NET comes in.
This is not a problem on the local LAN because Windows gives a file
sharing violation message. I could have ASP.NET open the file, but this
would be problematic so far as sessions go.
One solution might be to have ASP.NET mark the file as read-only until
it is checked back in. But I'd prefer it to be transparent to the local
user and give the same sharing violation as if was opened locally.
Does anyone know a good way to handle this?
Thanks for your help.

Bruce,
This is going to sound like an ad but have you looked into Windows
SharePoint Services?
Now available for download at no additional charge, Microsoft Windows
SharePoint Services
technology in Windows Server 2003 is an integrated portfolio of
collaboration and communication
services designed to connect people, information, processes, and systems
both within and beyond
the organizational firewall. For information about other Windows Server
technologies and services,
see the complete list of Windows Server 2003 Technology Centers.
If I remember correctly there is a windows 2000 version as well. :)

Hello,
This question is related to sharing .Net projects across solutions and is
reposted from the SourceSafe group.
We have several different solutions and want to share common assemblies
across them. Is it best to share the project and its files to each solution
(each solution has it's own shared project), or have each solution point to
the same file location of the project?

Hi,
I've encountered a problem sharing c# application in NetMeeting. The
problem is that when I try to share some GUI application, I don't see
it on remote computer. Sometimes I see random small parts of
application but not whole app. I've tried to share desktop and the app
– it's the same effects. There are no problems with sharing any other
apps.
Can anybody explain what the problem is?
Thanx

I'm building a solution that has 1 component for the Desktop and 1 component
for the Pocket PC. (Though this isn't a mobile question).
I have a data library that will be shared on both platforms. So I've
adopted the approach of having two projects share the same set of files. In
my case, I have two similarly named projects:
DataObjects
DataObjectsCF
The former is for the Desktop app and the latter is for the Compact Framework.

While I understand that Server Side Includes still work, I realize it's
not the best practice for sharing code such as a common set of includes
between screens.
In ASP.NET I've already built several User Controls and such for sharing
code between screens, but this typically was used things such as menus
and headers and footers.
What is the best practice in 1.1 for sharing code such as a common set
of functions used by multiple screens?

Hello.
Well, this is my first post on any USENET group anywhere, so I hope I
get it right. Basically, I just want to get some opinions on a plan of
mine for a new project.
I want to produce a small, peer to peer, file sharing network for the
use of myself and some of my friends. The purpose of this is basically
to allow us to share files conveniently without relying on technology
such as Windows Live Messenger (Yuck).

Hello everybody!
I have just found out that the sharing properties of a single database (mdb file on a network), accessed by 3 users, change depending on the user accessing the database. That is, with the file opened by 2 users at the same time, in my computer, the sharing properties appeared as set to share (not exclusive) and single entry-lock. Nevertheless, in the computer of the other user, the sharing properties are set to exclusive mode...
