Specify display characteristics, such page sizes, margins, and font heights and widths, as well as the flow objects on each page. Information fills in one area of a page and then automatically flows to the next object when that area fills up. That allows you to wrap text around pictures, for example, or to continue a newsletter article on a different page (XSL-FO).

To access an XML Web service from a client application, you first add a Web reference, which is a reference to an XML Web service. When you create a Web reference, Visual Studio creates an XML Web service proxy class automatically and adds it to your project. This proxy class exposes the methods of the XML Web service and handles the marshalling of appropriate arguments back and forth between the XML Web service and your application. Visual Studio uses the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) to create the proxy.

A database trigger is a PL/SQL block that can defined to automatically execute for insert, update, and delete statements against a table. The trigger can e defined to execute once for the entire statement or once for every row that is inserted, updated, or deleted. For any one table, there are twelve events for which you can define database triggers. A database trigger can call database procedures that are also written in PL/SQL.

A Mobile Switching Center (MSC) is a unit within a cellular phone network that automatically coordinates and switches calls in a given cell. It monitors each caller's signal strength, and when a signal begins to fade, it hands off the call to another MSC that's better positioned to manage the call.

PEAR is the next revolution in PHP. This repository is bringing higher level programming to PHP. PEAR is a framework and distribution system for reusable PHP components. It eases installation by bringing an automated wizard, and packing the strength and experience of PHP users into a nicely organised OOP library. PEAR also provides a command-line interface that can be used to automatically install "packages"

Process performed by nodes within the failure domain of a Token Ring network. Nodes automatically perform diagnostics in an attempt to reconfigure the network around the failed areas.

You can use the Session object to store information needed for a particular user-session. Variables stored in the Session object are not discarded when the user moves between pages in the application; instead, these variables persist for the entire user-session. The Web server automatically creates a Session object when a Web page from the application is requested by a user who does not already have a session. The server destroys the Session object when the session expires or is abandoned. One common use for the Session object is to store user preferences. For example, if a user indicates that they prefer not to view graphics, you could store that information in the Session object. Note Session state is only maintained for browsers that support cookies. MICROSOFT, ASP.NET

Global.asax is a file used to declare application-level events and objects. Global.asax is the ASP.NET extension of the ASP Global.asa file. Code to handle application events (such as the start and end of an application) reside in Global.asax. Such event code cannot reside in the ASP.NET page or web service code itself, since during the start or end of the application, its code has not yet been loaded (or unloaded).Global.asax is also used to declare data that is available across different application requests or across different browser sessions. This process is known as application and session state management. The Global.asax file must reside in the IIS virtual root.Events and state specified in the global file are then applied to ASP.NET all resources housed within the web application. If, for example, Global.asax defines a state application variable, all .aspx files within the virtual root will be able to access the variable. Like an ASP.NET page, the Global.asax file is compiled upon the arrival of the first request for any resource in the application. The similarity continues when changes are made to the Global.asax file; ASP.NET automatically notices the changes, recompiles the file, and directs all new requests to the newest compilation. A Global.asax file is automatically created when you create a new web application project in the VS.NET IDE.

Client Side scripting: HTML is a language that provides formatting of static textual data. However it provides no true interactivity other than allowing the user to navigate from one page to another. Client side scripting enables embedding of limited programming instructions within a web page and this is performed at the client end. JavaScript and VBScript are two languages that allow you to embed client side scripting code into your static HTML files. The syntax of JavaScript is similar to Java as VBScript is similar to VB. The script is included in the tags. Server Side scripting: When the browser makes a request for a file ending with the .ASP file extension, IIS knows to bring ASP.DLL into play to interpret the ASP code in the file. Once interpreted, the results of this code are placed into the document, which is a simple HTML document before it is sent to the user.Global.asax is a file used to declare application-level events and objects.
