Hi,
I wish to generate some relatively simple html reports from my ODBC
database.
I'm quite happy to write out raw html to a file, but before I do that I just
wondered if there is any better solution for creating these reports?
I was initially trying to get mailmerged word files working ( After giving
up with crystal reports ) , however I have had issues on client's machines
where with a different version of word it
wasnt working - So i decided to go down the html route for ease of
support....
Oh; The application is a standalone application, rather than a web based
one.
Rgds,
Dan

Try using XSL to generate your HTML docs. If your data is formatted as
XML from your datastore, it's a relatively simple matter to transform
that with XSL. If not, it may still be a viable option to convert your
data into XML manually and then pass that it into the XSL transformation
style sheet.

Dan Hi,
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/RdlProject.asp
That does look interesting, but it's way beyond what I need at the moment,
however many thanks for the suggestion of looking at XSL/XML translation -
This is excellent stuff and precisely what I need, thanks!

When parsing my html files, I use handle_pi to capture some embedded python
code, but I have noticed that in the embedded python code if it contains
html, HTMLParser will parse it as well, and thus causes an error when I exec
the code, raises an EOL error. I have a work around for this as I use
different set of characters rather that <tag> use something like (tag) then
revert it back to <tag> via another function, I was wondering if there...

Hi, in trying to discover why my RegisterStartUpScript wouldn't work (I
do NOT see it in the HTML source), I looked at the HTML source of a page
where I do an XslTransform.
First, I get the transform results as expected, beginning with <html>
and ending with </html> but then I see the following immediately after
that:

I have been using VB.net for stand alone and client/server kinds of things
but am beginning to explore its use for web applications. I need to ask a

My understanding is that if you are going to write an application for the

this is that you need to have a seperate machine (PC) connected to the web

I have been maintaining a body of documentation in plain HTML files.
I would now like to automate the generation of the HTML files. Maintaining
the HTML files now is tedious and error prone, because every time I
move/remove/add a section, I have to renumber the following sections and
update my internal links.
I have looked at some of the HTML-generation frameworks, but the selection is
somewhat bewildering, and most also seem geared to...

I've updated my test server to handle if-modified-since. I've noticed
that the (old copies I run of) IE and Netscape seem never to send
if-modified-since. But the strange thing is that Opera sends
if-modified-since but when I reply with "HTTP/1.0 304 Not Modified" it
is not refreshing the screen from its cache, it is leaving the screen
blank.

anyone care to enlighten me about how CGI works? are (Perl and CGI the same
thing) is it just a language that the user manipulates to churn out strings
of HTML (a la classic ASP) or does it have a framework and object model?
similarly how do .jsp pages work?, is that part of a framework or again does
it just directly require the user to churn out HTML...

Perhaps I have missed something but what I would like to do is have a more
"controlled" method of generating HTML from a web service.
I can create items using HtmlTable, HtmlTableRow, and HtmlTableCell but is
there a quick method once the table has been built to get the HTML, put it
in a string for return the browser call for the web service?
I notice that HtmlTable does not support InnerHtml so that is not doable.
Ideas??

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.
