OT - ASP web site

[JJ]

I'm sorry this is totally OT, but as I am geared up with .net software:

If I have an old asp site (i.e. not dot net), what can I use to add
pages/debug/test etc it - can I use Visual Studio 2005 or 2003? What did
people use to construct asp sites?

No.


Visual Studio/Interdev 6 or notepad I think are your choices.


Asp.Net is not Asp.

Thanks - I didn't know whether it was a case of Visual Studio 2005/3 being
backwards compatible. Better dig up a copy of Visual Studio....

ASP Express does a decent job editing classic ASP code.

I haven't tried this, but you should be able to open a traditional asp
website using open file system website. You will need to add a web.config to
enable debugging. You would also need to create a traditional asp page
Visual Studio Template so than when you add the asp page you don't get the
code behind. Might be a few other teaks... not sure.

To create the Visual Studio Template, create the asp page as you want it...
then select "File" and "Export Template" and follow the wizard. If you don't
have "Export Templete" you can add it by right clicking the toolbar and
selecting the last entry "Customize..." then select "File" and add "Export
Template".

The easiest way would be to install Visual Studio / InterDev 6 that's what
was probably used to create it.

Thanks I'll try that. Think I've lost my old copies of Studio. Don't suppose
we can get hold of it now either...

 

[JJ]

Thanks Brian.

Think I'll try the simpler solution and try to get hold of Visual Studo or
an equivalent.

If you really need Interdev, it pops up on ebay from time to time, for like
$6-30.

you can build and debug with vs2005 or v2008. to debug just attach to
the dllhost that is the asp site.
