Does anyone know if you can get data from a classic asp page and import it into an iphone app so if someone uses the app i am trying to make when details of products are wanted it gets them from an asp page?
I know this is easily done with other ways but we have a website that runs with Access database and classic asp and would like to avoid changing 2 databases when our products change.
7  3271 
Does the website work in Safari on the iPhone? It should in theory work exactly the same, as Safari is a full blown browser on the iPhone.
You may want to consider a css style optimization for the iPhone to make it feel a bit more like a web app.
I have a mobile slimmed down version of the website minus all the flash that works fine in safari, we actually want an iphone app though, probably something like the IMDB app as we are in the same type of business
Ah, so you are developing an app and you want to talk to the site?
Umm... your best bet would be to expose the data in secure web services on your site, then call these from the app, and then parse through the data when it comes down?
I was just wondering if i can access the database directly of would i have to make a page up in asp that the app would access to get the data, im a long way from that at the moment so have plenty of time to search the web for ideas.
just hoping someone may have already found somewhere with some help
Well the way would be web services. .asmx SOAP based ones are the easiest. If you set them up properly you could just access the data from within the application like:
ListOfMovies = [myService GetAllMovies];
And it would poll the data right into your list object....
thanks for that, i will lokk into it further when the time comes now i know it is possible
No problem, glad to help. www.icodeblog.com
has some good web service/iPhone development tutorials.

Anybody tried this port of Python to the iPhone?
http://www.modmyi.com/nativeapps/python-v251/
http://iphone.natetrue.com/
Hasn't been updated since July 2007. Maybe just a proof-of-concept? I'm
guessing it involves jailbreaking the phone.

Yes it does involve Jailbreaking.
Python
GCC
Java
and Ruby
are all available to run on the iPhone after you Jailbreak it.
Just run the Cydia appliacation (jailbreak's AppStore) to install

It seems that iPhone 3G will not show the scrollbar for the following
simple page:

so if you are looking at the page using an iPhone, then you are
stuck... you can't see headline 17 to 22 approximately.
also, a related observation is, on FF, Chrome, and Safari on PC, there
is no padding of 20px at the bottom of "headline 22". On IE 7, it is

By default, the iPhone will only check for new emails manually when you open the Mail screen or when you tap the refresh icon (the icon in the lower left screen of the email list). You can configure your iPhone to automatically check for new emails by following these easy steps.
Tap on the Settings icon in the home screen and tap the Mail button.
In the new screen that slides over, look for the Auto-Check option in the Messages section.

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:
