I have the following situation for an ASP.NET 2.0 web site:
- Data is in one XML file
- I want to transform the data using an XSLT file before using it
- The data is hierarchical
- The data will change only occasionally but is quite large and needs
to be up to date when it does change
- The data will be used to display information in a standard format on
every page, but will be filtered on different pages
Basically, what I'm looking for are suggestions and discussions on the
best way to:
- Cache the data but update it when necessary
- Create reusable code to display the data
- Filter the data when necessary
- Sort the data without reapplying an XSL template
So far, I've got a DataList control bound to an XmlDataSource which
does everything except sorting, but I can envisage solutions involving
DataSets, user controls etc, and I wanted to see what the best options
were in everyone's opinion...
Thanks!

I would create a class that mirrors the structure of the XML file, and can
de-serialize the XML file into an instance of the class, and serialize the
class to an XML file in the same format as the original. Then you load it
one time from the file system, work with the class in memory, and only save
it back when you need to.

Thanks. I had a sneaking suspicion that that might be the way to go - it
would also be more flexible if I ever get the data in something else than
XML. It just means more work right now... :)

Hi all.
I'm working here on a small project of mine. I'm not new to programming, but
I'm new to PHP. You have to understand that I'm coming from C++, OOP world,
so my code might seems a little too "object"-ified.
Anyways, I've created a wrapper class for MySQL connectivity. It's barebones
for now, no error checking or anything. So now I'm trying to create
user/session-handling class that would work with the data stored in the

Hi,
Every morning a .NET application downloads a file with cumulative data which
needs to be appended to SQL Server table. This program needs to identify
records that have not been previously inserted (there's a unique identifier
field) and only insert those. Also I must reuse our class that does updates,
it basically can update any table by using SqlDataAdapter .update method. So
I have to rule out bulk inserts, DTS, etc...

Hi,
first, python is one of my fav languages, and i'll definitely keep
developing with it. But, there's 1 one thing what I -really- miss:
data hiding. I know member vars are private when you prefix them with
2 underscores, but I hate prefixing my vars, I'd rather add a keyword
before it.
Python advertises himself as a full OOP language, but why does it miss
one of the basic principles of OOP? Will it ever be added to python?

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.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
