I want to implement product listing in Dot NETNUKE
tell me steps to implement this.
The fastest / most efficient way to do it is with a generic data module like 2sxc, which allows you to create content-types (with title, details, packshot, description, brand, etc.), list-views and details views. Your question is extremely generic though, so it's not easy to give a more detailed answer.
My recommendation is to start with an existing, similar open-source implementation and go from there - I would recommend the employee directory app http://2sxc.org/en/Apps/Details?AppGuid=ce646ddd-8789-4fef-8f39-b7e1d1908fe3
Alternative tools to do something similar are xmod or the very old list-and-forms

I am trying to formulate a proposal for an application that allows a user to print a batch of documents based on data stored in a SQL table. The SQL table indicates which documents are due and also contains all demographic information. This is outside of what I normally do and am trying to see if these is a platform/application that already exists to do such a task
For example
List of all documents: Document #1 - Document #10
Person 1 is due for document #: 1,5,7,8
Person 2 is due for document #: 2.6
Person 3 is due for document #: 7,8,10
etc
Ideally, what I would like is for the user to be able to push a button and get a printed stack of documents that have been customized for each user including basic demographic info like name, DOB, etc
Like i said at the top, I already have all of the needed information in a database, I am just trying to figure out the best approach to move that information onto a document
I have done some research and found some people have used mail merge in Word or using Access as a front end but I don't know if this is the best way. I've also found this document. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
If I understand your problem correctly, your problem is two-fold: Firstly, you need to find a way to generated documents based on data (mail-merge) and secondly, you might need to print them two.
For document generation you have two basic approaches: template-based and programmatically from scratch. I suppose that you will opt for a template based approach which basically means that you design (in MS Word) a template document (Word, RTF, ...) that acts as a template and contains placeholders and other tags that designate »dynamic« parts of the document. Then, at document generation time, you need a .NET library/processor that you will pass this template document and the data, where the processor will populate the template with the data and return the resulting document.
One way to achieve this functionality would be employing MS Words' native mail-merge, but you should know that this would involve using Office COM and Word Application Automation which should be avoided almost always.
Another option is to build such a system on top of Open XML SDK. This is velid option, but it will be a pretty demanding task and will most probably cost you much more than buying a commercial .NET library that does mail-merge out-of-the-box – been there, done that. But of course, the good side here is that you will be able to tailer the solution to your needs. If you go down this road I recoment that you use Content Controls for tagging documents/templates. The solution with CCs will be much easier to implement than the solution with bookmarks.
I'm not very familliar with the open source solutions and I'm not sury how many there are that can do mail-merge. One I know is FlexDoc (on CodePlex) but its problem is that uses a construct (XmlControl) for tagging that is depricated in Word 2010+.
Then there are commercial solutions. Again I don't know them in detail but I know that the majority of them are a general purpose document processing libraries. Our company has been using this document generation toolkit for some time now and I can say it covers all our »template-based document generation« needs. It doesn't require MS Word at doc generation time, and has really helpful add-in for MS word and you only need several lines of code to integrate it in your project. Templating is very powerful and you can set-up a template in a very short time. While templates are Word documents, you can generate PDF or XPS docs as well. XPS is useful because you can use .NET/WPF prining framework that works with XPS docs to print documents. This is a very high-end solution, but of course, the downside here is that it is not a free solution.
I am planning to create a recommender system using apache Mahout.
I searched on internet about it. and i found it uses the following format for dataset file.
userId, itemId, preference
what i want to use as a dataset have structure like this.
Id, rating, location, skills, fee
Is there any way i can do this?
Or i have to use Weka
It provides the option of creating custom dataset. but reviews suggest that it is not a good option as compared to mahout for Recommender system.
Are you planning to do collaborative filtering? Usually with CF you take in lots of user preferences about items. Then for a given user you recommend items. You don't seem to have user preferences.
In any case you will need to preprocess your data into the form required, it is all that will be used in CF anyway.
Try to understend this exemple:

i hope it will help you
Is there any tool, similar to codepad, writing code in C language that I can share my code with a group and my group can make changes and simultaneous views in real time editing?
I can't tell you enough that this is going to make your work more difficult if you're planning on using this for anything other than something like a code review. However, it's called a real-time collaborative editor. There are a ton of them. I used one on linux a while back that I can't remember the name of, but in the mean-time, let wikipedia start you off...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_real-time_editor
Edit:
The tool I used on Linux that worked well was called Gobby.
There are a bunch of others in this question on SO Real time tool for collaborative coding
Sorry for resurrecting an old question but I thought I should share this.
I usually use Collab.Center (http://collab.center). Some features I like about it better than others are:
Online, real-time collaborative coding
Support for a lot of languages (40+, I think) (EX: C, C++, Java, HTML/CSS/JS, PHP, etc)
Text and Video (Webcam) chat (Requires Sign-In)
Syntax highlighting, auto-closing brackets, matching brackets, etc.
Ability to manage all your documents (Requires Sign-In)
Private documents (Requires Sign-In)
I think it would be great for you and your group, if you haven't already found an alternative.
I’m trying to help a friend in his election campaign.
We mainly need a tool to manage a list of possible voters. We need to be able to:
1. Easily update details about the voters, and
2. Query for voters according to various parameters, and show and print the resulting lists
To enable campaigners to work from multiple workstations, we would like the system to be distributed, probably web based.
We would also like that to be in Hebrew, if possible.
Is there any existing tool that easily enables it?
If not, can you recommend on an easy way to implement such a tool?
(I have a solid programming knowledge, but not much time to devote to that)
You can achieve this easily with iFreeTools Creator. Just create the entities and attributes for Voters and add campaigners as users providing their Google email-id.
Regarding your requirements..
* This app is web-based. It runs on Google App Engine.
* The interface is English only, but data can be in unicode. Entity name and attribute names are also "data", so they can be in unicode too.
Other related features which might be useful in this context..
* You can import voter list using CSV files.
* Campaigners can search for voters near their workstation by filtering out records based on nearness to a geo-location.
// Disclosure : I wrote code for this web-app. Hope you like it. Feedback welcome.
Some possible answers might be found in the same question I asked in the web apps forum
I would like to extend my WinForms app, which a feature that allows me to monitor which functions are used by the users.
The idea is to count how many times e.g. a button has been clicked, or a popup was opened.
I want to know which features are used more or less often by the users.
Any ideas how this can be done? (Or even if somebody solved this problem already)

The only mechanism I can think on to do what your looking for is to use a logger like log4net / Log4PostSharp to log details to a log file on the machine, this would give you details on usage for that particular client. You would have to create a custom attribute that you could decorate your methods with that would result in something being written out to the log file, otherwise your code would end up littered with code to implement the logging!
Have a look at this article too, it uses Log4PostSharp with AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming) which would make the implementation of the logging much more cleaner (uses attributes).

You can find some if you google for the term "application analytics" instead of "feature tracking".
I have found the following products:
includeapp.com
Software Statistics Service
Dotfuscator for .NET, DashO for Java
FusionAnalytics
Flurry Analytics
OpenSpan Desktop Analytics
DeskMetrics
EQATEC Analytics
Rapidengines
I might say that I also plan to create such a product. When it will be Beta I will add it to the list.
