Maintenance job fails

I am attempting to bind data from a dropdown list that was populated from another datasourceID. I've bolded what I believe is relevant to this issue in the code below. But basicly its binding the proper county on the pull down menu but when I hit form submit it dosnt postback that info instead its null.

<asp:FormView ID="FormView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
            style="margin-right: 59px"
           CellPadding="4"
            ForeColor="#333333" DefaultMode="Edit" DataKeyNames="UID">
            <FooterStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
            <RowStyle BackColor="#F7F6F3" ForeColor="#333333" />
            <EditItemTemplate>
                Edit Item Template<br /><asp:Label ID="uidlabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("uid") %>' /><br />
                last_date ha:
                <asp:TextBox ID="last_dateTextBox" runat="server"
                    Text='<%# Bind("last_date", "{0:d}") %>' AutoPostBack="True"
                    CausesValidation="True" />
                <br />
                first_name:
                <asp:TextBox ID="first_nameTextBox" runat="server"
                Text='<%# Bind("first_name") %>'
                    CausesValidation="True" ontextchanged="first_nameTextBox_TextChanged1" />
                <br />
                last_name:
                <asp:TextBox ID="last_nameTextBox" runat="server"
                    Text='<%# Bind("last_name") %>'
                    AutoPostBack="True"
                    CausesValidation="True" />
                <br />
                mi:
                <asp:TextBox ID="miTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("mi") %>'
                    AutoPostBack="True" CausesValidation="True" MaxLength="1" />
                <br />

Hello,

  I'm trying to use the Nerddinner as a model to built my own project. I'm using the repository method but I cannot fiqure out why the Edit does not save to the database. I tested in the Nerddinner and it failed to save as well. Is this not functional in Nerdinner or could it be due to me using VS 2010 express?

I also started using MVC3 so I thought that could be the problem. I did some testing and was able to get my Edit to update to the database if I have the controller access the database instead of the repository.

Here's the relevant code from NerdDinner:

[HttpPost, Authorize]
        public ActionResult Edit(int id, FormCollection collection) {

            Dinner dinner = dinnerRepository.GetDinner(id);

            if (!dinner.IsHostedBy(User.Identity.Name))
                return View("InvalidOwner");

            try {
                UpdateModel(dinner, "Dinner");

                dinnerRepository.Save();

                return RedirectToAction("Details", new { id=dinner.DinnerID });
            }
            catch {
                return View(dinner);
            }
        }

And in the Repository:

public void Save()
        {
            db.SaveChanges();
        }

I've created a front end search page in Silverlight 4 for SharePoint Search.  Currently we are using WSS 3.0 + Search Server Express 2008 (v 12.0.0.6421).  The page interacts with the MOSS version of the search web service at:   <site collection>/_vti_bin/search.asmx

The reason for this approach is the unique way the requirements specify the look and behavior of the results.  The built-in Search Center page or web parts will not satisfy these requirements.

We are going into production but I still cannot figure out how to search against my custom managed properties that are of Type DateTime.  If I cannot get this to work, it is a showstopper.

I've tried numerous variations on the SQL Syntax and cannot get it to work.  I know the error is in the date portion of the WHERE clause since I can remove it and searches work fine.

Here is a working query:

SELECT Size, Rank, Path, Title, Description, Write, RequestSubmittedDate, DocumentType, RequestPromisedDate, ProblemDescription, DatePublished, RequestOwner, RequestingDepartment, DocumentAuthor, ProjectNumber, ProjectDescription, RequestStatus FROM scope() WHERE CONTAINS ('"nmr"') ORDER BY "Rank" DESC

yet if I try to use a date literal in the WHERE clause as in the following query modification, I get the "malformed" error.

SELECT Size, Rank, Path, Title, Description, Write, RequestSubmittedDate, DocumentType, RequestPromisedDate, ProblemDescription, DatePublished, RequestOwner, RequestingDepartment, DocumentAuthor, ProjectNumber, ProjectDescription, RequestStatus FROM scope() WHERE CONTAINS ('"nmr"') AND "RequestSubmittedDate" >= '2010-01-15' ORDER BY "Rank" DESC

I've tried several variations such as:

 AND "RequestSubmittedDate" >= '2010-01-15 05:00:00'

 AND RequestSubmittedDate >= '2010-01-15 05:00:00'

 Is this a known issue with WSS 3 / Search Server 2008?  If so, does it work under 2010?

I've tried downloading the SharePoint Search Service Tool from CodePlex (by Steve Paschka and Larry Kuhn) and it demonstrates the same behavior.  I suspect there is something wrong server side that cannot handle DateTime queries but I'm not sure.

*** UPDATE ***

I went to the SearchCenter page, updated the Properties XML in the Web Part properties to add my RequestSubmittedDate field into the fields list.  I entered an Advanced Query looking for items where RequestSubmittedDate < 2010-08-15 and received the same error.  See the ULS logs in the 12 hive:

I have Sharepoint 3.0 installed. I was able to do successfull backup many times. One day a backup was not completed successfully.

Now I get this error when I try to backup.

When I try to delete the timer definition job.. I get the following error:

I'm running the following PowerShell Command as part of a script.  The $backupSite and $backupPath are valid and the file gets created successfully.

Backup-SPSite -Identity $backupSite -Path $backupPath –UseSqlSnapshot -Force -NoSiteLock

However, I have a command to send an email after the command finishes which doesn't execute.  When I use a trap for the exception the message is "Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.".  However the SharePoint log indicates a successful backup and the file size is similar to what is was when backed up using stsadm.

Any ideas what parameter would prevent this error from ocurring?  I've investingated the AssignmentCollection but am not quite sure what to use since not examples seem to include it.

Any help to correct or further troubleshoot would be greatly appreciated.

Each time when I browse the wsdl, I get an error saying web.config is not well formatted. If I refresh the page , wsdl loads successfully. This happens on altrenate basis.

I have come custom role provider dll which I am referring inside my web.config.

Does any one has faced such problem. Any pointers will be of great help.

(A) On Windows XP Professional SP3,  I cannot get the .NET 4.0 Framework to install.  If I run either of the following programs, nothing happens:

Please advise on how to correct this installation failure.  This is blocking the installation of other software, and I'm completely stumped on how to fix it.

Thanks in advance,

I have a program that makes extensive use of the RAS api calls. Has always worked fine in 32bit mode on Win7, but all attempts to convert it to 64 bit keep hitting a brick wall. I'm using VB2010 and .NET 4

Here's the function definition:

Declare Ansi Function RasEntryDlg Lib "rasdlg.dll" Alias "RasEntryDlgA" (ByVal lpszPhonebook As String, ByVal lpszEntry As String, ByRef lprasentrydlg As RASENTRY) As Integer

Here's the structure definition:

Public Structure RASENTRY 'defined in rasdlg.h as rasentrydlga
    Public dwsize As Integer
    Public hwndowner As IntPtr
    Public dwFlags As Integer
