can we program classic ASP in VSTS 2008

Hello everyone,

If I have .Net 3.5 + VSTS 2008 + IIS 7.0 on my machine, could I develop and debug some classic ASP code (in VB Script).

If I can, any reference guide to setup development environment for both IIS 7.0 and VSTS 2008?

thanks in advance, George

+1 A:

I found this article/list of tips about ASP in IIS7, for developing ASP in VS2008, you don't need to do anything special, though I'd recommend first creating the site in IIS, then using File/Open site instead of using a regular project.

I read it and a little bit confused. Could we run classic ASP under .Net 3.5 worker process pool? Or I have to use .Net 1.1 worker process pool?

Doubt it matters, though in production you might want to run your ASP application in a separate pool to increase overall stability if there's a memory leak or whatever. (Eg. so that only the ASP app. goes down when something fails.)

Thanks, my question is whether classic ASP must run on .Net 1.1 or could be run on later .Net version, like .Net 3.5?

Classic ASP doesn't run on .net at all, it runs on IIS, therefor the .net version doesn't matter.

I am interested. Do you have any formal documents to prove that classic ASP does not need .Net runtime? I am confused.

Yes. Here is the ASP FAQ dated 1997: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms972347.aspx..net 1.0 was released in 2002, five years later...
