Greetings from Snowy Charlotte...
I am trying to create a dynamic web site that will be "skinned" based
upon an authenticated user's information. This skinning could be
extensive (entire change to the UI appearance) or more minimal with a
measure of personalization such as the adding of links to a
navigational menu option.
I've done something similar to this in the past by putting all the
appropriate data into a database table, but that option will not be
available in this situation. I'm hoping to be able to do this with
XML/XSLT.
My vision was to create a CSS on the fly based upon information in one
XML file such as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<styles>
<style>
<name>Error</name>
<font>Times</font>
<color>Red</color>
<size>24pt</size>
</style>
<style>
<name>1</name>
<font>Arial</font>
<color>Blue</color>
<size>18pt</size>
</style>
<style>
<name>2</name>
<font>Tahoma</font>
<color>Green</color>
<size>14pt</size>
</style>
</styles>
The idea here being to pass to the walk the xml tree based upon the
<name> that I will know once the user has logged in and has been
authenticated.
Once that phase is complete, I need to get the information specific
for the UI changes, such as logos and the aforementioned links idea. I
have not created this xml document yet, and would appreciate any
suggestions the world can offer.
In addition to applying these UI changes, I will need to be able to
write back to the xml document to add or delete links, etc.
After spending a couple of days on this, by brain is about to explode.
I'm hoping someone out there has some words of sage advice for me, or
can point me to a couple of resources to help me get this going.
The frightening thing is that I've seen this done using CORBA and pure
XML/XSLT, but I need to be able to do this using ASP.NET (VB.NET code
behind) as there is going to be much, much more going on that using
XSLT for creation of the page layout is not feasible.
Thanks in advance for your help, and I'll look forward to the
(hopefully many) reponses.
Take care,
Ric

I find that I can display structured data very nicely using XML with an
XSL template. As an extra 'goodie', I would like to give users the
ability to sort that data (for example with a button above a particular
column). What I need to know now is whether this is possible with
XML/XSL? Or do I need to resort to a programming language (maybe JScript?).
So far I have worked with the XML and XSL split into separate documents.
However, I...

Hi all,
I'm after some advice...
I'm building a website which will have a login etc.. The Personalization in
asp.net 2 stuff looks like it'll save me some time (login controls etc.),
however, the rest of my site ties very intimately into my users. I have many
tables (such as News, PhotoGallery, ForumPost) which have a UserID column.
From a user, I want to be able to get at a List<News>, List<PhotoGallery>
etc.

When a certain user enters his phone number I would like to check if another

I generate a DHTML page (a medical report) with dynamically generated text

begins to print the next page using the same header and format as the
previous page. The page uses no tables or paragraph elements, only CSS.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
