Comments on: Even ASP Ancient Can Do XML With Access http://alexandersarchive.wordpress.com/2008/02/02/even-asp-ancient-can-do-xml-with-access/ The Modern Great Library Sat, 17 Oct 2009 05:47:21 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: alexanderthegreatest http://alexandersarchive.wordpress.com/2008/02/02/even-asp-ancient-can-do-xml-with-access/#comment-130 alexanderthegreatest Sun, 03 Feb 2008 19:37:04 +0000 http://alexandersarchive.wordpress.com/?p=52#comment-130 No problem, Jeff, and I'm glad to hear you like the tech info! I'm pretty impressed by some of this stuff too and I'm glad other people are enjoying the tips. I can't stand PHP. I'm a big fan of ASP.NET. It's a lot like ASP Classic, enough that you really don't have to relearn much. But it lets you do so much more. But I must confess, I used to do C and then C++ programming, so part of my ASP.NET over ASP preference is that I can do it in C. The other part is that even in VB I can create and use objects directly, without going through Server.CreateObject and late binding everything. It makes pages run more quickly, and it lets an application be more stable. Plus you get access to all the service that come with Windows - you can do your logging and instrumentation on background threads, and you can cache things in HashTables.

It aint broke so dont fix it right? Why can't I trust what works instead of going all AJAX/PHP lol. I loved the XML tutorial thanks a bunch for that!
