YOUR HOMEPAGE SUCKS
Sunday, June 30, 2002 by alexbratu | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
The news you post on the front page of ths site has little to nothing to do with Windows Customization. Does anyone else see the problem here?

speaking of bloging, is it possible to write a DX script for it to connect to the wincust database (if allowed)? I think the blogging idea as apart of wincustomize (as well as the GUI league and other associations) could be part of the subscritpion. Or a plus subscription. Talk about talking!!!
hey DX scripting... hmmm that could be a new thread. let me get on that.

Joe, if you mean a DX script that retrives info from the database in the form of XML, then no there currently isn't one. However the Newest Additions list that you see on the right side of the WC web page is exposed as an XML file. There's DX object that download the XML file, applies XSL on it and outputs the result on the desktop as a dx object using the IE Web Browser control.

That would be very nice. XML is supposed to be the next step for the internet. Now if they come up with a standard for file transmition (as in how the data will be stored in the database as well as sent) then we will be cooking with oil.

There are various XML standards out there, though often those might be overkill for what you'd want to accomplish. A simple home-grown XML schema would suffice here. You shouldn't have to worry about how info is ultimately stored in the database since you'd never see it. It'd get translated back and forth to/from XML.
