I am a beginner programmer taking my first VB 6.0 class, please forgive me

Question:
How is XML (Extensive Markup Language) a part of the .NET environment and is
it intended to replace HTML.
Anyone's comments would be appreciated. Please refer to another newsgroup if

Question:
How is XML (Extensive Markup Language) a part of the .NET environment and
is it intended to replace HTML.
Whoever told you that XML would replace HTML? This is not true, over time
HTML will more and more be written using the more strict rules that XML
documents follow (case sensitive, all open tags have close tags, proper
nesting, etc.). When you write HTML this way, you are actually writting
XHTML.
HTML will probably be around for a long long time.
But, .NET uses XML quite a bit internally. Here are 3 of the big ways that
XML is used within the .NET Environment:
The ADO.NET "DataSet" object is essentially one big XML Schema and the
DataSet persists its data as XML natively.
Web Services are nothing more than remote procedure calls from one machine
to another. Now, that (in an of itself) is not a new concept, but web
services take a different approach. When machine A wants to invoke the
procedure from machine B, it does so by accessing an XML document on machine
B called the "Web Service Description Language" document. When machine B is
done with its processing and returns its answer to machine A, it send a
stream of XML as the result. Because of this XML going back and forth over
HTTP, another protocol called SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) rides
along on top of HTTP to keep the XML "formatted" properly.
Lastly, because XML is such a great data-transport mechanism, .NET has many
classes in the System.XML namespace for reading, writing and working with
XML. Anyone's comments would be appreciated. Please refer to another newsgroup
if I am in the wrong place.

Sometimes I find myself stumbling over Python issues which have to do
with what I perceive as a lack of orthogonality.
For instance, I just wanted to use the index() method on a tuple which
does not work. It only works on lists and strings, for no obvious
reason. Why not on all sequence types?
Or, another example, the index() method has start and end parameters for
lists and strings. The count() method also has start and end parameters...

Hi there,
unfortunately I am new to Jython and my "Jython Essentials" book is

I am porting a Python library to Jython and some parts are missing. My
question basically is where do I find information on what to use
instead. E.g. I could not find information on the os module. I do not
find the sys module docu either.
The concrete problem is I have...

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:

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,...
