now in my web I have some global variables to be used in many different
subpages, in the old ASP I simply loaded a variables.asp file into memory
using the eval() function. Now I'd like to use XML but what method would I
use to load the entries from the xml file into memory and make them quickly
accessible globally in the web code? Just need to know what functions
specifically I should start reading about!
Thx

Kevin, so far so good but .Net doesn't allow me to split the appsettings
into subgroups eg
<appSettings>
<Web1Group>
<add key="Title" value="Title of web 1"/>
...
</Web1Group>
<Web2Group>
<add key="Title" value="Title of web 2"/>
...
</Web2Group>
</appSettings>
The error I get: "Unrecogniz ed element."

After re-reading your question and my response, I can see that I was not
answering the question you asked, which is how to read data stored in an
XML
file INTO memory, which is something altogether different from storing XML
data IN memory. Reading it from a file is a great idea, as exemplified by
the use of XML for the web.config and other configuration files that
ASP.Net
and .Net in general uses.
In fact, using the web.config file might be your best bet to begin with.
You
can easily use the built-in "appSetting s" element in the web.config to
define your own data, which can easily be read from the file at run time.
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuratio n>
<appSettings>
<add key="Connection String"
value="server=b lah;uid=Blah;pw d=blahblah;data base=blah"/>
<add key="VoyagerPat h" value="C:\Voyag erOnline" />
<add key="Timeout" value="15" />
</appSettings>
...
These configuration elements are easy to fetch at run-time. Example:
Dim Timeout As int =
System.Configur ation.Configura tionSettings.Ap pSettings("Time out")
You can also define custom configuration sections, if you have a lot of
data
and need to organize it into a nice tree hierarchy.

Correct. Remember I mentioned that you can create your own customized

If the type cannot be found, one or both of 2 things is happening. Either
you haven't referenced the assembly (DLL), or you haven't added a using
statement to negate the necessity of using the complete NameSpace hierarchy
in your code. The complete NameSpace for NameValueCollec tion is
"System.Collect ions.Specialize d.NameValueColl ection".

no prob Kevin, I understand.
After some Googling I finally managed to solve this although I don't know at
all why. What I did was changing:
<section name="mySection "
type="System.Co nfiguration.Nam eValueSectionHa ndler,System/>
to:
<section name="mySection "
type="System.Co nfiguration.Nam eValueSectionHa ndler,System,
Version=1.0.330 0.0, Culture=neutral , PublicKeyToken= b77a5c561934e08 9,
Custom=null" />
god knows what that Version bla bla does but it works!!! (I always thought
XML was sooo easy and clean code)

news:u0******** *****@TK2MSFTNG P09.phx.gbl... no prob Kevin, I understand.
After some Googling I finally managed to solve this although I don't know
at all why. What I did was changing:
<section name="mySection "
type="System.Co nfiguration.Nam eValueSectionHa ndler,System/>
to:
<section name="mySection "
type="System.Co nfiguration.Nam eValueSectionHa ndler,System,
Version=1.0.330 0.0, Culture=neutral , PublicKeyToken= b77a5c561934e08 9,
Custom=null" />
god knows what that Version bla bla does but it works!!! (I always thought
XML was sooo easy and clean code)

I'm afraid I don't help people by email, for a number of reasons too
long to
go into here.
I will be happy to continue helping you on this newsgroup, however, if
you
can tell me where you're having trouble. the article (and related
articles)
should give you what you need to know. The section head for the article
I pointed you to is at:

I am reading Stroustrup's book 'C++ Programming Language'. In the

"A variable defined outside any function (that is global, namespace,

is invoked . . ."

Anyone here feel that "global variables" is misleading for variables
whose scope is file scope? "global" seems to imply global visibility,
while this isn't true for variables whose scope is file scope. If you
have a variable whose scope is file scope in another translation unit,
you have to provide a local declaration to access that variable from
the other translation unit.
Also, I don't see "global variable" used once in the standard....
