Technically, yes. The Saxon.NET project at SourceForge is an ongoing effort to convert the existing Java-based code of the open-source Saxon processor to the .NET platform. However there many problems with this approach: Simply re-compiling Java files into .NET Assemblies is no substitute for an XQuery processor and API built from the ground up in C# and is a far cry from the level of engineering effort that went into optomizing and testing MSXML 4.0. Saxon is primarily an XSLT 1.0/2.

There are more than 5.2 million .net domain names registered (as of January 2005). This makes .net the second largest generic top level domain (behind .com). Nothing. There's nothing to worry about. All your .net domains will remain completely unaffected and stay fully operational.

A recent world-wide survey of software developers found that the top four reasons for using XQuery were that it simplifies data access and transformation, has a more concise and easier-to-read syntax, can aggregate and manipulate data from different sources, and for its flexibility in working with relational and non-relational data sources. Other reasons that came up frequently included greater performance, flexibility, and the need for standards based approach to XML data integration.

The benefits of Java are well-known. It lets you write applications that work on any operating system, and the J2EE platform provides robust support for XML, security, web services, and database connectivity. Embedding XQuery in Java applications can significantly reduce the amount of Java code that is needed, because XQuery often is easier to use and more efficient than Java for processing XML or querying relational data to create XML.

Web Services depend heavily on XML for both its definition language, Web Services Description Language (WSDL), and its messaging protocol, Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). XQuery provides a language that can interact with XML data and other types of data as long as they can be represented as XML. For example, XQuery can be used to access the content of messages or to construct new messages to be passed to a Web service. In addition, you often need data to process Web Services results.

Microsoft .NET is simply too big a technology platform to not affect us all in some way, regardless of one???s technology camp. For example, imagine yourself sometime in the future basking in the glory of XQuery on the Java platform and reaping the many productivity benefits XQuery has to offer ??" life is good. In recognition of your talents, you are reassigned to lead a data integration project involving the Microsoft .

We've compiled a short list of ten simple things you can do to help the cause, and there's as well free XQuery resources in the XQuery activist kit. Well, that's not really a question, but we understand Microsoft (as any product company) has a release schedule to keep. We still hope that Microsoft would commit to supporting XQuery in some in future point release of the .NET Framework in the next year or two.

This section is work in progress, but see the front page for info about CSBrowse. The control works fine from .NET apps, but the control is regarded as unmanaged code. If you're looking for a cross-platform solution, then some day, the GTK browser widget may be a better fit That is if the Mono crew consider doing their own thing instead of aping MS at every step, and produce a viable GTK# with a component for browsing.

The .NET Framework SDK is free and includes command-line compilers for C++, C#, and VB.NET and various other utilities to aid development. Microsoft Visual Studio Express editions are cut-down versions of Visual Studio, for hobbyist or novice developers.There are different versions for C#, VB, web development etc. Originally the plan was to charge $49, but MS has decided to offer them as free downloads instead, at least until November 2006.

Yes. COM components are accessed from the .NET runtime via a Runtime Callable Wrapper (RCW). This wrapper turns the COM interfaces exposed by the COM component into .NET-compatible interfaces. For oleautomation interfaces, the RCW can be generated automatically from a type library. For non-oleautomation interfaces, it may be necessary to develop a custom RCW which manually maps the types exposed by the COM interface to .NET-compatible types. Here's a simple example for those familiar with ATL.

Yes. .NET components are accessed from COM via a COM Callable Wrapper (CCW). This is similar to a RCW (see previous question), but works in the opposite direction. Again, if the wrapper cannot be automatically generated by the .NET development tools, or if the automatic behaviour is not desirable, a custom CCW can be developed. Also, for COM to 'see' the .NET component, the .NET component must be registered in the registry. Here's a simple example. Create a C# file called testcomserver.

I just can not belive Ghost has droped the ball on this and is still requiring people to use floppies. The directions are clear, straight-forward and accurate. This is the most well-put-together doumentation I've EVER found relating to Ghost. I've worked with (read: struggled with) the program on and off for years, and have never found any documentation anywhere near this caliber. This is the guide I was looking for since Symantec are so incopetent to write it for us.

Currently available flu vaccines only protect against the currently circulating ordinary flu. The virus causing a pandemic will be so different from the strains in the vaccine that they are very unlikely to provide any significant immunity in a pandemic situation. New vaccine must be developed to match the new pandemic strain. Can any vaccine left from previous years be used? No. It will only provide protection against old strains of influenza virus, not against a new strain.

Many applications need to process relational data to create complex reports, and they need these reports in XML. In addition, most commercial web pages use relational data, but it rarely looks like relational data when it is presented to the user. These sites combine information from many sources, creating complex web pages that are user friendly. For relational data, XQuery can be thought of as an XML-based report writing language.

XQuery updates are still in the planning stage. Using a combination of DataDirect XQuery and JDBC offers a simple solution to working with both XML and relational data, and providing updates to relational data. See http://www.datadirect.com/developer/xquery/xquery_updates/index.ssp for more information.

PnC Net and web based e-mail can provide a fully featured email function together with enlargement and speech. There are many ways to use PnC Net to send and receive e-mail. One web site for e-mail that we have found to have some nice features and to work well with PnC Net is WebBox. WebBox costs $10 a year, but we think it is worth it. Following are some features of WebBox: You don't have to change your current e-mail address as long as your current e-mail service uses a POP3 server.

Yes! mod_auth_ntlm_winbind will authenticate your user, and then you can snag their username with $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"]. It only authenticates users though, there's no group control or user information etc. That being said, using mod_auth_ntlm_winbind and adLDAP *together* is pretty sexy. mod_auth_ntlm_winbind logs them in automatically, and you can use adLDAP for your more specific access controls. Read the section on seamless authentication for more information.

a standard-based technology, there are several XQuery implementations available for XML developers. DataDirect XQuery is the only Java-based implementation of XQuery and the XQuery API for Java (XQJ) which enables you to execute and process XQuery expressions against any of the major relational databases, and you can download a free trial today.

No. In fact, XQuery is thriving. Several recently released developer studies by Evans Data Corporation, DataDirect, and DevX, in addition to real-world use-cases all point to tremendous momentum behind the XQuery standard, from both vendors and end-users, all in anticipation of the official W3C XQuery recommendation, which is expected to be finalized soon.

If you solicit loans secured by residential real estate in North Carolina, you will need a Loan Officer license and at least three years of experience in the mortgage lending business in order to continue to manage a Branch Office. The licensee for whom you operate the Branch must obtain a Mortgage Lender or Mortgage Broker license and a license for the Branch. You must either be a Loan Officer employee of the licensee or you must obtain a sole proprietor Mortgage Lender or Broker license.

Depending on how one counts, there are between three and five active groups. The two most popular seem to be "sie, hir, hir, hirs, hirself", (especially "hir"), and "zie, zir, zir, zirs, zirself". The latter apparently came into being after a German-speaking netizen objected to "sie" and "Sie", which in many contexts means "she" in German. Third and fourth, differing only in the first and maybe last word, are "e or ey, em, eir, eirs, eirself or emself".

You should use whatever names you feel are important for you. The .com is the most prestigous, then the .net and finally the .org There is no real difference between the extensions... there is no particular meaning associated with any of them. When we register names for ourselves, we typically take all three. Why? If we take one, our competition will take the other two, and our customers can become confused and actually do business with the wrong company.
