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: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/en/server/iis/htm/asp/iiwadbug.htm It seems possible, however I can't seem to get it working. Anyway knows how to debug ASP scripts efficiently?

VBScript is typically used in classic ASP applications (to which this newsgroup is devoted). Are you creating an ASP.Net application (.aspx) or a classic ASP application (.asp)? > I just create a new "ASP.NET Web Application" and point > to my local webserver (IIS) of my website address.

I have seen assertions in this newsgroup that classic ASP code can be debugged using VS.Net but I have never tried it myself.

Post more details to the newsgroup I mentioned above. You won't get any help by saying " ... can't seem to get it working." You need to provide details about your symptoms. Bob Barrows PS.

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.

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. > and can not be used in Visual > Studio 2003 or higher .Net Hmm, well, that's not true.

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. http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.general/msg/cad98c695cb3d639?hl=en& Here are some more: http://groups.google.com/groups?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=gd&q=debug%20classic%20ASP%20.Net%202003&sa=N&tab=wg -- Microsoft MVP - ASP/ASP.NET Please reply to the newsgroup.

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