How to update ASP application in devlopment environment(which one)

[usr123]

Hello all,

I am new to ASP, i am trying to make changes in exsiting ASP application running on IIS on the server. I have copied the content onto my local. Now i want a dev environment to open up th eapplication which should allow me to make the changes and run it on my local as well so that i could test it. I want to recreate the application in dev environment as whole. How can u do that.

If i didnt make myself clear, then plz ask and i will try it again.

Thanks in advance.

Hello usr123,

Well, let’s start by creating a check list. Do you have IIS installed on your local computer?

Yes i have. I have put my application in IIS. I can run it as well. I really want a development environment where i could open the whole ASP application asa project and do normal development and run it at the same time like we do in Visual studio.net. Is there anything like there?

Oh, look into applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage (please; no battle on witch is the better). But you can still use Visual studio too.

For Classic ASP development I like to use “Notepad ++”. I am not big in the WYSIWYG editors.

Happy Coding,

Visual studio3.5 doesnt support ASP type applications. I want to open the whole project as one in dev environment.

Then you need to look into applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage.

i did install Dreamweaver from Internet, it has got some functionality like load project but wasnt enabled(may be i need to buy it...). But would i be bale to run the project and debug as well in dreamweaver?

Sorry nope. Debugging is an art in Classic ASP.

Hint: Response.Write( ) and Response.End() are your friends when it comes to debugging in Classic ASP.

Ok :(

What is the difference b/w ASPand classic ASP.
Sorry i can actually google it.
