We have an existing data source which already includes tables for users (employees) and roles.
Is there a way to use these tables instead of the users and roles tables created by lightswitch when you select forms authentication?
Check out this thread:

BTW, the LightSwitch team is active on the Microsoft forums right now. You'll probably have a better bet using that forum for questions until the community builds up more. It's a new product so the team is trying to focus on discussions there right now.
Thanks for evaluating LightSwitch!

store team,
we are trying to publish our Excel addin and have some questions on how to proceed on two topics.
Question 1: information for testing [100.14.1 Testing Instructions:] the addin is not relying on a service and delivers all functions without a service. You can buy an additional service, which is shown in the addin, to store certain data into a SQL server but that is not mandatory for the addin to work and cannot be conducted in-app. Where/how can we describe this behaviour so that this won't be a failure/critical validation?
Question 2: we want to exclude Excel 2013 [1100.4.4.1 Office 2013 ] to work with our addin. how can we achieve that?
Best Regards,
tbr
Answer 1: If there is any functionality mentioned in the description, it is expected to be inside the add-in. If there is functionality that requires a paid/premium account, you should provide a test account in the certification notes field in Partner Center when resubmitting.
Answer 2: Office 2013 is a supported platform in validation and as such the add-in is expected to be functional there. Please see the following link to the page that lists all of the API's and the platforms that support them. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/overview/office-add-in-availability#excel
I am Currently working on DNN based website. I want to add new table for my custom module to keep record of login and registration info of profile. For that does anyone knows which fields are required for any table in DNN? I want to use database which I assigned at DNN installation. And how to retrieve data from table which I have created?
You should really go through the Module Development wiki for DNN, the Task Manager series will do you wonders for understanding DNN (ignore that it says it is for DNN5, it will work just fine for DNN7 as well)
http://www.dnnsoftware.com/wiki/page/module-development
There are no "fields" required by DNN when you add a table, as a developer you can choose what you want included.
Chris handled the table requirements, here is a little about accessing the database...
Using DAL2 to access your database in DNN is really easy. It helps you connect to the database and preform the CRUD operations. Follow the MyObject.cs and MyObjectRepository.cs model and you should be good to go.
for older dnn versions http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/12853/Creating-a-DotNetNuke-Module-For-Absolute-Beginner
Please check http://christoctemplate.codeplex.com/ for dnn 7+ module development
Besides Chris Hammond's tutorials and module template (IMHO, some of the best contributions ever to the DNN developer community), there are a couple of other extremely good tools to add to your DNN developer toolbox.
Mitchel Sellers' Professional DotNetNuke Module Programming book (http://www.amazon.com/Professional-DotNetNuke-Programming-Mitchel-Sellers/dp/0470171162)
Scott Wilkinson's series of tutorials on DNN Module Development DNN Hero. (www.dnnhero.com)
Note that neither of these are free, but are well worth having!
Agree with all above but for a quick example of how to use PetaPoco for your DAL, see this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/35749594/4574668
After introduction with salesforce community, I am unable to clear how community is different from portal functionality. I already read here but this don't have answers of question like:
What is new things being provided by community?
What are restriction we have if we use community?
Advantage of community over portal.
Is it capable of provide Email functionalities as same we have in other organization types?
Role of chatter in communities etc.
Is their difference between portal user and community user?
I already know that community is dedicated feature for portal functionality, but is it have some new functionality or only a portal part is separated?
Please provide some summary, links or answers you have.
While there are probably more detailed answers, it sounds like you are looking for a high-level overview. Communities basically combines Partner Portal, Customer Portal and chatter capabilities (so users can chatter on records they have access to, etc.)
Security, sharing, etc. are basically the same. There are standard responses on how it makes things more social and provides a path to greater communication but I think it comes down to combining the portals + chatter.
The main difference is that you will have more flexibility in terms of branding, integrating the communities with site.com CMS for publishing pages and also above all full Chatter integration for all things social.
The old Customer portal and Partner portals had an outdated look and feel and very basic support for publishing a full blown portal. The old Customer and Partner portals are retired and no longer offered, so your only option is not Communities.
With Salesforce 1 platform, now you can have a fully mobile optimized community portals as well.
You can also consider another solution called Magentrix which fully integrates with Salesforce CRM and allows you to build branded self-service mobile portals and more.
I'm fairly new to SharePoint and Access. I've started building a basic SharePoint for my company to use and I have two different Access web databases up on it. One for projects and one for managing contacts.
I know SharePoint web parts can access SharePoint lists, but is there a way I can have SharePoint access a web database on the site? I'm sure I can, I just am unsure of how to do it.
I'm sorry if its a silly question but, like I said, this is all new to me.
Thank you!
follow the links provided below they will guide what all you can do

Does anyone have experience working with Oracle User management? Any idea if it can be easily used to register users and roles into Oracle OID? And how I can use the defined roles in my application (i.e. should I hard code them)?
I've asked several questions on this topic and have gotten little response.
I think the community here isn't geared so much for this and you'd be better off here at the Oracle Forums.
