So sometimes I wonder if I was born stupid, or whether my mother dropped me shortly after birth.
I figured it out and it is far easier than I imagined.
!CDATA is the way
e.g:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page>
<title>BGCMS: Home</title>
<content><![CDATA[
<h1>Welcome to BGCMS</h1>
<p>
This is a wonderful <b>place!</b> <img src="test.gif"/><br/> make love not war
</p>
<p><%=Now()%></p>]]>
</content>
</page>
!CDATA basically tells the XML parser to totally ignore everything within the !CDATA section. Very handy

Heya,
does anyone know where the browserinformation is stored for this class? Or does it use the old Browscap stuff (ie the .ini file)?

Hello -- I am trying to create a web-site for our church that has a 'profiles' section for members and also has a forums section where people can leave message simliar to the code project.
Our main question is how do we set up the login system -- the company that is hosting our site has front page server extensions installed, but also has cold-fusion. from my brief beginners knowledge it looks like cold-fusion is the only way to really do a login system.
what would you all recommend? should i just go out and buy a cold-fusion book, or are their other ways to do this.
right now we are really looking for general guidance more than anything else,
tim

If you want to use the Code Project discussion forums on your site, then you'll need to find a host that supports ASP. Ask your current host, they may already support it.
You could go either way with this. I'm sure there are plenty of Cold Fusion login systems available for free, and I know there are plenty of ASP login apps available (HotScripts.com). Personally, I would use ASP, but only because I don't know Cold Fusion.
If you have to stick with your current host, then find out whether or not they support ASP. If they do, then you can use Code Project's discussion forums. If not, then you'll have to find a Cold Fusion forum to use. In the latter case, buy yourself a good book on Cold Fusion and have fun!
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks for your reply . . . I definitely want to use ASP -- I was just talking with somebody and they hinted that I wanted to use the Global ASA. I have done a lot of visual basic stuff, how do I make the leap to web programming. Is there a good tutorial on ASP out there?
thanks,
tim

Look also in ASPIn.com. This site has references to other sites with tutorials, examples, etc.
If you are looking for paying ASP host, you can try 123HostNow.com(Feel free to strip referral info from link). Cheap and a lot of features with great support.
If you want a free web hosting, look at same ASPIn.com, you'll find there a list of them

You can do a login system using ASP, VBScript and a database (SQL or Access or Oracle or even XML flat file etc.)
I recommend you read these very easy articles on 4GuysFromRolla.com: 4GuysFromRolla.com on Security

How would a login system work...?
Client side cookies can be used to store yer name/ID can scripts on the server read client cookies...?

Is that ASP...?
I've only read quickly about ASP. However it's syntax is VB and thats what i started programming in, so i'm sure it easy enough. I've only done server side programming in Perl and it doesn't have Request.Cookies object which if my memory serves me correctly...ASP does...
Anyways...what yer saying then...is yes it is possible to read client side cookies...?
This is the only way i can think of implementing a login sytem like here a codeproject.
Happy thoughts!

Don't forget the almighty database! DBs are invaluable in creating login systems.

The easiest way is to try this simple login system from 4GuysFromRolla.com.
Simply put it uses ASP, VBScript and a database.
HockeyDude wrote:

Ok cookies are stored on the clients machine. When the client requests a page from the server the cookies that the site can access are passed long to the server in headers (I think.)
You can then use Request.Cookies() to process and change the cookies. It is VBScript and ASP but they are really easy and if you know VB you will have no problems.
Remember you only have access to cookies that you created or that are valid for your site. e.g. if your site is www.cnn.com and there is a cookie on the clients machine from www.bbc.co.uk then you will not even be able to see them.

Ok the why of what I am going to ask would take three days to explain, so I won't. I just need the how please
I have an ASP page which pulls some data from an XML file. Some of that data from the XML file is ASP itself. I need IIS to actually process that ASP data from the XML file isntead of just putting it in the buffer and sending it to the browser.
So I was thinking that what I effectively need to do is have the ASP page on the first run pull out the data, and then have IIS process the data I pulled out as well.
Any ideas or clues? thanks.

Rename the XML file on the server to ASP [the extension]
That way the ASP snips get processed.

I wish it were that easy. I thought of that originally but then I cannot use XSL to process the XML.
Basically I have an XML file which contains Page details and content.
I then have an XSL file for each browser and device.
The ASP page which is called originally merges the XML file with the correct XSL file and produces XHTML back to the browser.
However there is ASP in some of the XML content (it was a mission just getting around XML rules to allow ASP in XML) and that is the ASP which does not get processed and instead is sent as-is to the browser.

Paul,
Your questions get more and more confusing and scary. What (not why) in the world are you making there?
I guess, you could save your data to a file and then call Server.Execute() to process it. That is the only idea I can come up with at the moment...

A content management system. Though as usual I have gone way beyond the usual CMS features.

Thank you, but I'm afraid that SA is out of my reach at the moment. Beside that, it would be bad for the business to have 2 employees spend all their time on CP at the same time.

The Eval function could do the trick. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/vsfctEval.asp
It looks like the jscript version is easier to use.
Good luck,

I'm trying to access from within ONE.ASPX (with ONE.ASPX.CS as source)
static class elements of TWO.ASPX (with TWO.ASPX.CS as source).
- It works when doing it inside VS.NET
- It fails when doint it myself (i.e. take a texteditor,
create WEB.CONFIG, GLOBAL.ASAX, etc. manually)
I think I must set an assembly-reference somwhere, but I don't know where
and how.
Can somebody tell me how to get this running WITHOUT VS.NET?

Can anyone give me a brief definition of .net?
I write web-based biz apps for the company intranet,
use ASP w/ Oracle backend. Company standard browser is
still Netscape 4.7. What software does .net require
to run on a server? (Win 2k?) -- what browsers does it
support?
In short, can i use it, given the limitations, and
if I could, what could it do for me?
TIA (thanks in advance),

.NET is a lot of different things to a lot of different people.
To Microsoft it is what they are betting their whole business on.
To developers, it is a new development framework.
To average Joe users it is a set of web services and hope that in the future everything can talk to everything and all your information is managed in one location in a meaningful way.

Until MS release the Windows .NET OSs you need to download the .NET framework and install it on your server and any client machine which requires .NET capabilities.
.NET is not JUST about the web or browser interfaces. If you are a C++ developer creating client/server apps then .NET can help you without forcing you to move to browsers.
Just read those main links I have given you, it is a lot of info but it is worth knowing.

They should really change, even if it is just to Netscape 6.2.
