QUERY: debugging ASP VBScript

[KevinGPO]

I am currently developing a website in ASP (VBScript) using MS Visual C#.NET
IDE. I just create a new "ASP.NET Web Application" and point to my local
webserver (IIS) of my website address. Then I just go through each
file/folder and right-click, selecting "Include in project". The IDE is nice
in that it checks, verifies id tags, etc. What am wondering is whether it's
possible to debug my ASP website using the MS Visual Studio.NET's debugger.

I did a google search for 'debugging ASP VBScript' and got:

[url]http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/en/server/iis/htm/asp/iiwadbug.htm[/url]

It seems possible, however I can't seem to get it working.

Anyway knows how to debug ASP scripts efficiently?

You do know that ASP and ASP.Net are two different animals and VBScript is
not compatible with ASP.Net and can not be used in Visual Studio 2003 or
higher .Net

So to answer your question. Your .Net application can't debug your ASP code.

Very true

huh? There is no reason one could not create a script block for vbscript
code in a .aspx page ... not much reason to do so, but there is nothing to
prevent it.

Hmm, well, that's not true.
I routinely edit classic ASP pages in VS 2003.

I've never tried it, but one person who sometimes posts to this newsgroup
(.inetserver.asp.general) claims he regularly use VS 2003 to debug his
classic ASP applications.

I use VS 2003 extensively to edit and debug classic ASP pages.

Works fine.
