Best practice approach to caching dropdown values

oj
Could anyone provide some approaches that are used to cache dropdown
list control values to share globally beteween all users? Currently,
each time a page is loaded all the dropdown values for each dropdown
list control are retrieved from the database. I would like to go away
from this approach. Any info. is appreciated.

Create a data container to hold the data.
A Dataset, a BusinessObject Class, an Arraylist, etc.

Then store the container in cache.
Expire the cache every X minutes and re-load it from DB.

There is a way to use DB cacheinvalidati on in ASP.Net 1.1 but it is tricky.
Just get it working first.

The above URL is version 1.0 (draft) that resulted. IMO, it is not a replacement for the FAQ,...

Over the past few days (in my spare time in the evenings) I've been trying to think of a table design that would best lend itself to paging the content for the purpose of paging articles on a website.

The website will be geared towards providing (and paging) technical content (technical...

I am finding that time after time I have instances where I need to access information in a variable that is public. At the same time, the books I read say that one should not use public variables too much - that it's bad programming practice. Is there an easy way to deal with this? I would like to do things in the "Best Practices" way but at the same time I don't want to make a federal case out of it. This comes up over and over...

Hi all, I am pretty new to asp.net; I've done lots of classic asp, but am just beginning to get my mind wrapped around .net. What I'd like to do is include some code that tests if a user is logged in, on each and every page, and redirects the user to a login page if s/he's not logged in. The login page will also take care of some standard setup, such as choosing/populating a user profile. I used to use <!-- #include ... --for this,...

I am about to start on a module that will accept a location from a user, use Google geolocation services to get the lat/lon and then compute the distance from the site visitor to about 100 kennels (could grow to 1000 eventually). Once I have the distance I need to sort the kennels by distance and present those within 500 miles. Approach 1: read the kennel lat/lon from the mysql kennel record compute the distance

Hi all This is not strictly a Python question, but as I am writing in Python, and as I know there are some XML gurus on this list, I hope it is appropriate here. XML-schemas are used to define the structure of an xml document, and to validate that a particular document conforms to the schema. They can also be used to transform the document, by filling in missing attributes with default values.
