I'm installing Microsoft Search Server 2008 express with a view to indexing some content for an intranet application.
Having not used Search Server before, i am looking at ways of my asp.net app (.net 3.5) querying the search server.
I'm just starting to look into Search Community Toolkit to see if it is relevant to what i want to achieve. But was wondering if you guys can point me in the right direction (code, articles, etc).
Many Thanks.
Microsoft provides developer APIs. The assemblies are part of the Search Server 2008 SDK.

After a few google searches, came across this website which fits the bill pretty well.

Describes using the Search Server web service, which is quite a clean way to do it.

I know nopCommerce and dashCommerce quite well, but I so far have never found any open source shopping cart (including HumanResources and Vendors) bigger than the nopCommerce.
I'm wondering whether AdventureWorks database comes together with a web project or other UI projects as an open source. Or it just exists as a sample database only.
Thank you for your comments!
AdventureWorks is purely database goodness. The closest you would come to to a ASP.Net web project with UI would be the samples delivered with Access 2010 like the "Assets web database". It does not compare well to dashCommerce or nopCommerce though.
There is a sample Web UI (ASP.NET Web forms) available with the database samples download (2005 and 2008). There is also a site dedicated to building out a real world example, but it doesn't look like they are sharing a code download: demo.componentone.com/ASPNET/AdventureWorks/
How about the Cycle StoreFront retail application from Microsoft SQL server multi-technology-product-samples?
From the site: *The Storefront sample for the Adventure Works Cycles sample database in SQL Server demonstrates how to build a simple Internet retail application by using SQL Server, ADO.NET, and ASP.NET. *
In fact, this is one of the many end-to-end samples they have, including:

I am currently building 3-tired ASP.NET 3.5 Web application which has workflows built in for manager approvals. Currently there is a dashboard on the homepage of the website where all the pending approvals are displayed in a webpart. I want to build a plugin for MS Outlook so that whenever there is a new request for approval I want that request to show up in MS outlook. Where do I start with this? Do I have to expose my business logic layer through webservices? Can anyone please point me towards some useful material or books?
It's been a while, but I can give you a quick heads up.
Have built a single add-on to Outlook 2007. between 2003 and 2007 you develop the add-ons differently. Since the introduction of the Ribbon 2007.
I used WCF to setup Web Services (a simple API) within my web application. Then, connected to that API from an Outlook application. If I remember correctly, there is a template in visual studio to use for building Office Add-ins.
I just did some google searching and this was nearly 2 years ago. there was very limited info then. Now there should be more.
Hope that helps.
I've done some VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) code in the past, but I think you should check out this video on the Microsoft site.
i am working on a web application that now requires a CMS.
Could you suggest me a product that grant integration with my existing application.
The latter is implemented using .Net framework 3.5 Linq to sql and SQL Server 2008
I may consider even not open source product (affordable price)
i want to create a Master page and allow the application's users to modify the content.
Ideally give them the ability to add controls such as image sliders (but this is not the main scope)
Main objective is the ability to modify the content usually text. Bu more is always better........
Thanks
http://n2cms.com/ is very powerful cms that can be integrated with your application.
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/ is a good open source choice.
Graffiti is now Open Source. I'm not sure how it integrates with an existing application.
SharePoint is the obvious answer, considering it's an ASP.NET application itself. It's free with Windows Server 2003 or 2008.
Umbraco is fantastic and free. Allowing you to integrate many plugins. If you are a developer you will probably fall in live as it offers a lot of integration.
DotNetNuke has a great (if not long winded) video intro and online demo so you can see how it works.
I am currently 70% of finishing my portal in asp.net using C# for a local government agency. The portal is quite big with integration with SQL Server 2008 Analysis, Reporting, and Integration services. Plus, I had successfully deployed and configured it into Windows Server 2008 under Active Directory environment. The next requirement is going to provide a search capability to the portal. The search engine must be able to search contents from the analysis and reporting server as well. For the start, I have made some research on the search engine using Microsoft.Net technology. I am very impressed with the works of experts for Arachnode.Net and Searcharoo. For the time being there is a sample for Arachnode.net to combine with Lucene.Net as complete search engine for asp.net. However, Searcharoo seems better than Lucene.Net for many reasons (in my opinion). Could anyone help me guide briefly on how could I integrate Arachnode.Net and Searcharoo? Thanks.
You can find help for setting up Searcharoo spider at my blog post titled
How do you use Searcharoo library to spider a ASP.NET MVC website
I am using a ASP.NET with c# website and MSSQL Server 2005 DB.
Will be hosting on a shared hosting provider..so i cannot install any runtimes/other software or services. i dont have MSRS (Microsot reporting services) or others as well.
I need to find some good reporting alternatives besides Crystal Reports and other heavily paid services.
I need to be able to generate reports with grouping , query based, cumulative, formula based, sub reports within one report, simple graphs and charts, etc
Please help me with this issue.
(i tried LogiReports from http://www.freereporting.com/product/index.html)
but it is difficult to use.
Thanks and Regards

Have you considered Telerik Reports? It does not need any special software installed on your deployment servers. The reports that you create are in a dll that deploy along with your application. It is not free, but it is still very nice.
