I was just reviewing some old code and found the following (inside foo.asp): Const ASP_FILENAME = "foo.asp" ' TODO: Update this to the name of this file (if changed) The variable is only used for logging errors. (ie. "Error in foo.asp - Could not create xxxxx object.") Is there any way to avoid this? Thanks! ...
I'm trying to page a table, and while I have paging already working, it displays every page in a single line along with Previous/Next links, causing the HTML page to break if there are a lot of results (which often there are). What I'd like to do is display the pages in batches of 10, e.g. 1...10, if you're on page 10 and click "Next" t...

We are migrating from asp classic to .net. Unfortunately they named all of the .asp files as .aspx so that they wouldn't lose page rank when they moved to .net. This means that IIS maps all .aspx files to asp.dll. After changing the mapping back I was going to try have a handler grab the request then check if there is any vbscript in th...
My organization has a lot of legacy ASP software on its hands. Since our perception is that Microsoft has shown a distinct lack of support for its older products, we need to figure out what to migrate to next. If we migrate to ASP.NET from Classic ASP, It feels like that'd be a 'complete rewrite' "migration". Since that is probably th...
a couple of days ago I had this idea, why not implementing asp-classic as another language in .net... it would have helped lots of people to migrate to the new platform... I mean there's IronRuby, IronPython, etc... It sounded to me like a great idea... but, come on, I'm no genius, there must be some reason why they haven't done so......

Say I have "default" content on the left side of my application, which is included in a header page: a search box and a login box. If the user is on the search page, I want to also add a list of search filters (e.g. brand, price) to the left side of the page; in this case the left side needs to access the parameters given to the search ...

Hi all We have a legacy ASP page that writes content to an excel file by generating client-side VB script based on data from the database.

I previously used CDO.Message and CDO.Configuration in ASP Classic to create HTML emails which was VERY simple to do. In .NET, it appears that you have to give the System.Net.Mail.Message object an HTML string for the content and then somehow embed the required images. Is there an easy way to do this in .NET? I'm pretty new to .NET MVC a...
