Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.4.0")

Hi...

I have created an ASP Application Variable for an XML File that will be used frequently day-in-and-day-out... with the help of the following lines in the global.asa file of IIS 5.0:

<Script language= &quot;Vbscript&quot; runat = server>
Sub Application_OnStart()

Set Application(&quot;Q&A&quot = Server.CreateObject_
(&quot;Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.4.0&quot
Application(&quot;Q&A&quot.async = false
Application(&quot;Q&A&quot.load(Server.MapPath_
(&quot;QuestionAndAnswer.xml&quot
End Sub
</Script>

Everything is fine... The problem i face is when some entry is inserted into the above xml file, by someone... it doesn't reflect in the output (The output is done thru' a server side XSL transformation)... though the entry is physically available in the xml file...

How to refresh the ASP Application Variable periodically... or as and when a change occurs in the xml file.. and what are the performance implications of such an act...

Thanks...

Hi...

I got the answer to the above...

What i missed out was to use -

Application.lock()
Application(&quot;Q&A&quot.Save(Server.MapPath_
(&quot;QuestionAndAnswer.XML&quot)
Application.unlock()

Pretty silly on my part eh?... Sorry, for that...

However, if someone has got any other idea, please let me know...
