Keep an eye on open database sessions with ASP and XML

Abstract

In this month's article "Manage application configuration settings with XML and XPath," we demonstrate a technique whereby you can store mission-critical settings in external XML files. As we show you, this solution allows you to leverage the full arsenal of XML-related technologies bursting onto the scene in today's rapidly evolving IT landscape. We also promote using Session variables instead of Application variables for maintaining these settings across the lifetime of your users' Web sessions.
