Occasionally, on a ASP (classic) site users will get this error: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (recv()).]General network error. Seems to be random and not connected to any particular page. The SQL server is seperate from the web server and my guess is that every once and a while the "link" goes down between the two. Router/switch issue ....
As a classic ASP developer about once a year since ASP.NET came out I decide I really gotta buckle down and learn this fancy new ASP.NET. A few days in and messing with code behinds and webforms and all this other stuff I decide the new fancy stuff is whack and go find something else to learn (PHP and Ruby and Python were all fun to pla...
I have a 200+ case statement in Classic ASP which is getting out of control. It sets 5 variables, based on which case is selected. Address, Phone, Name etc. Just sets the variables and nothing else in each case. Databases or files are not an option for this application. Coming from the Perl world I would use a hash to store this info. ...

I'm thinking of implementing a data layer in asp.net as web serivce to improve manageability. This is also a first step towards upgrading the website to asp.net. The site itself remains ASP for the moment... Can anybody rec...
I'm a bit confused here. Microsoft as far as I can tell claims that parametrization is the best way to protect your database from SQL injection attacks. But I find two conflicting sources of information here: This page says to use the ADO command object. But this page says that the command object isn't safe for scripting. I seem to ...
I have a large classic ASP app that I have to maintain, and I repeatedly find myself thwarted by the lack of short-circuit evaluation capability. E.g., VBScript won't let you get away with: if not isNull(Rs("myField")) and Rs("myField") <> 0 then ... ...because if Rs("myField") is null, you get an error in the second condition, compa...
I was trying to set a breakpoint in global.asa in an old classis ASP project with IIS 6 in Visual Studio 2005. Somehow the context menu for actually setting the breakpoint somewhere in global.asa is disabled (greyed). How can I set a breakpoint then? Breakpoints in .asp pages are no problem though and do work fine. ...
I recently installed Windows 2008 Server to replace a crashed hard drive on a web server with a variety of web pages including several classic ASP applications. One of these makes extensive use of file uploads using a com tool that has worked for several years. More information: My users did not provide good information in that very s...
DOING THE POST IS NOT THE PROBLEM! Formatting the message so that I get a response is the problem. Ideally I'd be able to construct a message and use WinHTTP to perform a post to a WCF service (hosted in IIS) and get a response, but so far I've been unable to construct something that works properly. Does anyone have an example of doin...
Is there a way to enable code outlining for Classic ASP in Visual Studio 2005? It outlines the HTML code pretty well and I get a big outline between <% and %>, but nothing for the code itself. ...
We are mainting a web application that is built on Classic ASP using VBScript as the primary language. We are in agreement that our backend (framework if you will) is out dated and doesn't provide us with the proper tools to move forward in a quick manner. We have pretty much embraced the current webMVC pattern that is all over the place...

I'm a little blockheaded right now... I have a date string in european format dd.mm.yyyy and need to transform it to mm.dd.yyyy with classic ASP. Any quick ideas? Thanks in advance! ...
The IIS 6.0 is serving my Classical ASP pages in a serial fashion (one at a time) The #2 request will be handled by the web server only when the #1 request ends. If the #1 request takes a little longer, the #2 request will have to wait for the #1 ends to starts being handled by IIS. Is this a missconfiguration in IIS? The operation ...
I am a .Net developer that has been tasked with upgrading a classic asp website to asp.net. The website is currently running on luck and bubble gum but there is not enough time or money to stop progress and do a full rewrite. Of course I will still need to be able to deliver new features while I am upgrading. What strategies should I us...

We have a classic ASP application that simply works and we have been loathe to modify the code lest we invoke the wrath of some long-dead Greek gods. We recently had the requirement to add a feature to an application. The feature implementation is really just a database operation requires minimal change to the UI. I changed the UI and...
We've just been tasked with updating an e-commerce application to use PayPal's PayFlow product. The site was originally written in classic ASP except for the credit card processing portion which was a COM component. Our plan is to replace the COM component with a .NET 2.0 component. I'm looking for tips, gotcha, etc. before we embark....
Hello, I've created an IHttpHandler in .NET C# which returns pieces of html to a classic asp page. The classic asp page communicates with the IHttpHandler through basic http requests using ServerXMLHTTP in vbscript or Ajax Calls in JavaScript. Now, I need a way to share a variable which I have in vbscript but not in javascript with th...
