ASP.NET 2.0: Enforce Web Standards For Better Accessibility

The Web Storage System (WSS) in Exchange 2000 is a Web-accessible database that stores any type of data such as e-mail, contacts, appointments, threaded discussions, and multimedia files, and renders the data in HTML in any browser. WSS is based on Internet standards, therefore data can be accessed through URLs, an Exchange OLE DB provider, drive mapping, XML, and Web Documenting and Versioning (WebDAV). This article discusses the WSS schema and how to extend the default schema for custom data. A sample application that uses a custom schema and a custom form to display WSS data is available for download.

Component-based software is vulnerable to attack. Large numbers of DLLs that are not tightly controlled are at the heart of the problem. Code access security in the Common Language Runtime of the Microsoft .NET Framework addresses this common security hole. In this model, the CLR acts as the traffic cop to assemblies, keeping track of where they came from and what security restraints should be placed on them. Another way the .NET Framework addresses security is by providing preexisting classes which have built-in security. These are the classes that are invoked in .NET when performing risky operations such as reading and writing files, displaying dialog boxes, and so on. Of course, if a component calls unmanaged code, it can bypass code access security measures. This article covers these and other security issues.

Active Accessibility was developed to allow people with disabilities to work on PCs-it's used in magnifiers, screen readers, and tactile mice. It can also be used to create applications that drive other software, and its ability to emulate user input is particularly well suited to the design of testing software. Starting from the basics of Active Accessibility, this article leads you through the development of a software testing application. You'll see how this testing application interacts with common controls and other UI elements, then processes the resulting WinEvents.

We have a SharePoint farm consisting of 5 web applications. These are tied together through branding and a custom sitemapprovider which present the farm as a single environment to end users. Our visually disabled users however have to enable the accessibility mode for each web application. Which is a nuisance, ideally they would only have to enable once for the complete farm. Does anybody have a solution for this problem.

Greetings

 Is there a list of accessibility acts that SharePoint 2007 supports.
 For example the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005?

 

Thank You

Hey, guys! I'm building a web site for a Section 508 workgroup, and I need the site to be 100% accessible (including the administration module I'm making for the team. We're using SharePoint MOSS 2007 and I recommended using infopath to enter data into the site's database (and also to populate downloadable Microsoft Word documents). The customer claimed that InfoPath is not Section 508 compliant, which seemed odd to me because the forms can be modified to anything you want them to be (including 508 compliant).

I even found this guide to making InfoPath accessible:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/infopath/HA102146831033.aspx

I'm curious if there are any caveats to making accessible forms in Infopath, or if the information I've gathered is incorrect.

Thanks!

Hi,

I am somewhat new to things related to accessibility in SharePoint. I am trying to work on section 508 accessibility requirements for SharePoint site. I have tried to see few articles from the internet and still looking for more information on the subject matter including what to consider fro preparing requirement.  

I am looking to know what is possible and what is not with SharePoint?

How to achieve all the possible accessibilities in SharePoint?

Is it possible to make accessible all site types (Publishing, team sites,.)?

Please help me in understanding everything around SharePoint accessibility and first in preparing the requirement document. I have tried to see AKS site but there were some issues that are not clear for me at this level.

Thank you in advance,

Will SQL server support semantic standards such as RDF, OWL, SPARQL similarly to Oracle 11g?  Thank you.

"Oracle Database 11g Semantic Technologies is an open, standards-based, scalable, secure, reliable and performant RDF management platform. Based on a graph data model, RDF data (triples) are persisted, indexed and queried, like other object-relational data types.

• Stores rich, real-world relationships in the data beyond columns, table joins and Boolean to obtain more semantically complete query results.
• Enables machine-driven discovery of new relationships using the native Oracle Database inference engine, ontologies, and RDFS /SKOS/OWL semantics and user defined rules. Inferred data is persisted in the database for faster querying.
• Queries relationship patterns using either direct SPARQL access to Oracle Database 11g via Jena, Sesame or Joseki, or SQL with SPARQL-like clauses.
• Supports W3C standards for the representation, vocabulary, inferencing and querying of relationships, including RDF, SKOS, RDFS, OWL, and SPARQL.
• Supports key open source technologies, including Jena, Joseki, ARQ, Sesame, Pellet, D2RQ, Jetty, Cytoscape, GATE, and Protégé.
• Secures RDF data at the graph and/or the triple level with declarative constraints on RDF classes and properties or EAL4+ multi-level sec
  

Looking for an utility which can review stored .procedures for Standards, best practices etc. Env is SQL Server 2005

I was wondering if anyone could give me a definitive answer and clear up some confusion about the exact WS-* standards implemented in WCF with respect to reliability.

My understanding is this:

The WS-ReliableMessaging standard (the Microsoft-supported standard) is implemented and is configured using a binding configuration with reliableSession enabled.

I am confused as to whether there is any support at all for the WS-Reliability standard. I have read that this is supported through MSMQ, but I'm not sure about this.

Also I understand there is no real support in ASP.NET Web Services or WSE for WS-Reliability, although WS-ReliableMessaging is supported but you pretty much have to implement it yourself (following sample code).

Can someone clarify these matters for me?

Apologies if this has been addressed before, but I have searched and searched again and can't seem to come up with definitive answers.

Many thanks,

Manus

Hi,

Hello forum Members,

I am new to .net platform.

Please guide me over how to do source code documnetation (method documentation, class etc.) in .net applications.

Is there any document or link which will give how to document source code?

Thanks in advance.
