Sending a table to a web page

[Rouslan]

I'm using C++.NET and I recently figured out how to get data from an access file but now I'm clueless. I know how to send a string to XML or insert something using a server response file but that's about it. What is the most effecient way to send an entire table to a page?

using a server response file What does that mean?

You don't send anything to a web page. A request is made for a web resource and you send a response. If your authoring a .NET Web Service then it can be the same thing as sending the XML string as the response.

I have no idea if this is helpful since i do not understand your post. In order for someone to understand your post it would be helpful if you used industry standard terminology. Posting something like I know how to send a string to XML does not help us understand what you are saying. You might be saying I know how to write XML data to a file. However it is completely unclear at this point.

I would like to explain using industry standard terminology but unfortunately I don't know any industry standard terminology. I won't explain my entire situation but I have been in a rush learning web services.

Anyways, this is what I need to do for now. I need to grab data from an access file, and display it on a web site in a dynamic way (this isn't just so people can see what's in the access file). I don't care how this should be done but I just need an effecient way to have a table of data arrive in a web page.

As for what "using a server response file" means:
A server response file is little more than an html file that has an extra feature of using replacement tags. These will call functions from an ATL server which can replace the tag with anything using the same output stream syntax you use for consol apps.

I'm sorry I have just answered my own question (I just have been a little unfocused with the unusual amount of deadlines in just a two week span).

Still it would be nice to know a method of getting a massive amount of data (such as a table, any sort of table) to a web page according to some criteria specified by the request.

Nevermind everything, it turns out that these tags can have parameters after all, thanks for responding anyway.

Rouslan,

Much better. Just for future consideration, when your working in a specific environment such as ATL server, that would be terminology that would be important to mention when asking for help. Having that information someone (like me ) would know exactly what you are talking about.

Acutally it didn't matter to me what I used. I ended up using the ATL server solution but I didn't matter whether it would be an ATL server, a Managed C++ server, or whatever else there may be. I just wanted to do it in C++. But I'll take that into consideration anyway.
