xml and Env Vars

I have an XML source that I want to modify to use Unix Environment
variables to represent directories instead of hard coding them. I'd
like to know if this is possible...know ing that XML is platform
independant.

Thanks

The answer is - it depends.

One way would be to pass the environment variables in to your
processor via command line parameters/arguments. Another way would be
to roll your own document processor using something like libxml or
libxslt (www.libxml.org) that would have have specific knowledge of
which elements/attributes are actually enviromental variables and use
getenv() to retrieve the value.

ok, so to my knowledge, object oriented means splitting something into the simplest number of parts and going from there. But the question is- when is it enough? For example I have the following code: #def put_file(file_id, delete=False): # """ Function to put the file on the FTP Server # """ # print " FTP for this file started"

I have a couple of tables I want to load into a dataset and keep around pretty much forever, although they will need to be refreshed every so often. I can either put the dataset into an Application("myDataset") var or I can put it into the cache, Cache("myDataset"), both are universally available to my app, except in Global.asax, only Application() vars are available (or it seems that way on my machine, at least). I thought it would be...

....still new to .net 2005 using VB. Do I understand correctly that the value of a session variable is actually stored in the server's ram, but relies on the asp.net session ID cookie that temporarily is placed on the client's machine until the session ends? ...so that you can't use session variables if the client has disabled cookies on their browser? So, this makes session vars much more secure than hidden fields, which are transmitted...

Previously, I had used independent JSON lists in my code, where the lists were part of separate scripts. Because this method did not support reuse of a script without modification, I decided to consolidate all my JSON lists into one and modify my scripts so that they were more generic and reusable. So far so good. The problem is that my JSON lists used variables for many pieces of code that performed multiple iterations to create several...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
