There's nothing "out of the box" in ASP.NET. However, Dmitri Robsman[^], a member of the ASP.NET Team, created something call the RSS Toolkit[^]. It's a set of controls that allow you expose an RSS feed from your ASP.NET application with minimal coding. ~Javier Lozano

Could you post what your configuration/system.web/compilation/assemblies node looks like? I created two version of the an assembly called PageLibrary (ver 1.0.0.0 and ver 1.0.0.1) and added them to the GAC. Then within the web.config, I added version 1.0.0.0 to the assemblies node and the application worked fine. Then I changed the version number to 1.0.0.1 and everything worked fine. Are you listing both assemblies version under the assemblies node? (Are you doing this?) <compilation debug="true"> <assemblies> <add assembly="PageLibrary, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=bdc533f43df02cbe"/> <add assembly="PageLibrary, Version=1.0.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=bdc533f43df02cbe"/> </assemblies> </compilation> The more we know, the easier it will be to help you out. ~Javier Lozano

Does this happen to every user when "they first hit" the website? Or are you describing "the first user" that hits the website?

What are you doing when a user hits the web application? Are you setting up a session or retrieving data? The more info you can give us, the better we can help you out. ~Javier Lozano

Do you need to a POST method? Because the Response.Redirect and the Server.Transfer methods will not allow you to pass the data as part of the POST parameters. ~Javier Lozano

If you look at the MailMessage.BCC property documentation, you can see a sample of adding a BCC address to the mail address collection. Pretty much you need to this, Dim bccAddress As MailAddress = new MailAddress(txtBcc.Text) objMM.Bcc.Add(bccAddress) ~Javier Lozano

Have you tried using the System.Environment class? Or looking into the ASP.NET performance counters? ~Javier Lozano

You can just set the DataSource property of the DropDownList control to be your xml reader. Then specifiy how you can display the data. Also, you can load your xml document into a DataSet (might be slow depending on size) and use that instead. ~Javier Lozano

You can try using the System.Web.UI.WebControls.Repeater to do something similar to this. You can find more information on MSDN.[^] The documentation has an example on VB.NET that shows you how to create a simple table layout. ~Javier Lozano

i want to create a varibale that will last through a page refresh

I'm a little confused as what you're trying to do. What do you mean a "page refresh"? Have you thought of usign the Session object or the Application object and lock it based on a user? ~Javier Lozano

What does the registry point to after you re-register the dll? If you can get a codebase path, then you can figure out where the data goes to. ~Javier Lozano

Just as long as your HTML email is properly formed, your customer's email program should read it fine. I guess, I am confused as what you're trying to ask. ~Javier Lozano

Could you provide more information on what you're trying to accomplish? ~Javier Lozano

You can do both. For a project I worked on earlier this year, I created my own user control class (inheriting UserControl) and page class (inheriting Page) to add base code that work with our web framework. So when I created a new user control under the VS.NET, I set the class defined under the .ascx.(vb|cs) to inherit from my user control class. Using this design, I was able to add core functionally by changing the base class and just re deploying one assembly. ~Javier Lozano

The tool is called aspnet_compiler.exe. You can read about it on MSDN's beta documentation[^] ~Javier Lozano

First of all, use parameterized queries rather than string concatenation. Second, why are you trying to execute these at the same time? ~Javier Lozano
