Most of my ASP programming experience is on NT4.We recently upgraded (replaced) our NT4 webserver with Win2k3 Web Edition.I am looking for a good book that I can go through that will show me the new and different ways IIS6 does things. I found out that some things still work from my old web site, but they no longer work on the new site.

View Replies View RelatedI've been doing ASP by hand-coding in either Homesite or Interdev for years. I have been using Dreamwever for static sites that I make on the side. I recently was asked to make a form which will store info in an Access database, and thought it would be a good chance to learn how to use Dreamweaver MX's ASP capabilities.
Haven't tried it yet, but reading up on it, it seems that it forces you to use Session variables. I'm not a big fan of session variables, and want to avoid them. Anyone here use DW MX for ASP?
This questions is a little one sided, I used to have the connection to the database on the site until I learned about the global.asa and since then all my sites have used it. I don't know the benefits of this file vs any other methods so I have to ask. But first let me explain.
I have a site, one of the many using the global.asa, it works 2 Microsoft access databases that run pretty much simultaneously on the site. Today, my host sends me an email telling me that they are open constantly and it's causing them problems on their shared server. So I modified the asa to close the database after every session and the host I had done so. They replied shortly after saying that a session could be open for 20 minutes before closing and they did not see this amend as helping the problem. So I'm looking for an alternate method.
The site itself is a collection database with over 1,200 user accounts, I have absolutely no idea how many of these user accounts are actually in use, but that is how many registered users there are in the database. Most of the regular users probably visit every day or two and I know that the admin (of about 8) visits daily to update the records unless there is nothing to add.
I've been given 7 days to solve this problem or they will close this particular site down. So in this case, is global.asa a good idea? If not, what method could I use to minimise the database being opened?
Can anyone find fault with this code? I wrote in in hopes of preventing users from "breaking" SQL queries and getting places they shouldn't by using SQL Injections.

Ive been making asp sites for about 2 years, but my first "real" site is going to be going live soon. Im currently seeking out a reliable hosting company based in england to host this website. Has anybody got any ideas of a good host? Ive been searching around for some time, but have not come across any that looks good enough. Im not after a dedicated server, shared hosting will do.
View Replies View RelatedI looking for a tutorial on charts/graphs which would take information from the DB table. I have a column about 31000 records and numbered field of 001-0022. I hav another field which contains texts.
What I'm looking for is to show graphically on a scale of 001-022 as in the first field how many time does the search criteria appear.
For example: I search a keyword "hello"
and the graph would show 001: 30 times, 002: 4 times...022: 1 time, but as a chart.
I think it would be nice to add a percentage calculation too.
I have written a few functions that are used on several pages throughout my site and am wondering what a good exection time might be (generally). The inital page a user is faced with after logging in pulls data from several different tables and displays 40 rows all together.
The execution time for this particular page is the slowest at approx. 950 ms to 1400 ms.
This seems awfully slow. This is probably because I am executing 10 different stored procedures instead of one (I thought it would be too big of a challenge to write a single select statement and parse through all the data). What sort of execution times are acceptable to most of you? What do you usually shoot for?
I'm looking for some script sites that do things like ecards, calenders, journals etc. Do you know which are the top 3 for ASP?
View Replies View RelatedI am trying to send out a mass email newsletter. I have 600+ subscribers in our SQL Server Database. Well, is ASPMail (Server Object's product) good for this? If so I have some concerns about the error handling and assuring people don't continue to recieve the same email. Does anyone have expierence with this? If so, what is your advice?
View Replies View RelatedSince my efforts to get my current script working are not working out. Does anyone know of a good ASP form handling script that can work with my HTML form.
View Replies View RelatedFrom the research that I've done so far, it appears that most of the Free Forum software out there, is designed for a PHP environvent/back-end.
Well, I know nothing about PHP (and dont have the time or desire right now to learn it), but I do know a thing or two about ASP.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good FREE ASP based Forum software. ????
Does anyone know of a good yet simple shopping cart written in ASP? It doesn't have to be free I am willing to pay up to $200. I am just looking for a simple front end and an admin area to add products easily.

I want to plot a bunch of curves on a graph. Each curve will be
defined by 10-20 (x,y) points. The points can be connected by lines.
Preferably (though not necessary), I would like to be able to select
the line or curve so I can identify it in a text box below the graph.
Does anyone have a recommendation for ASP code or a component to do
this?
I'm trying to get some recommendations on credit card authorisation suppliers such as paypal, worldpay or 2checkout.
Seems like a bit of a mine field so wondering if anyone has any view, positive or negative on these (or other) suppliers.
I notice paypal is free but chargers about 3% or the goods sold which isn't bad for a small startup. I think Worldpay is about 2% but charges a monthly fee.
Is it easy to get this up and running on a site? do you connect to theirs to do the payment or just fire secured data to them to process? is one a better deal, safer and easier to implement than another?
I am greeting I would like to consult the better solution(with security consideration) to
the access is for MSSQL(2005) from ASP(Classic) in the system of the intranet.
a) SQL mixed mode and depositing user name and passwords for MSSQL of the
server in "connection string" (with open text)
b) Windows Authentication and to send rights to SQL of the server for
IUSR_computername
c) ?
Intranet(server ASP and MSSQL) in the company available from the any
computer, workers data (name and pass) they are being kept in MSSQL tables.
Problem is because Server MSSQL(Intranet) he will be replacing himself into
data with two MSSQL servers and with one PostgreSQL through Windows
Authentication.
I plan to buy this one: Mastering ASP.NET with VB.NET by Sybex. http://www.sybex.com/sybexbooks.nsf/BookList/2875
But it take more than 2 months for me to get this book. I did ask for my local boostore for this and they said that the shipment takes the time.is away that I can get the book faster. Do you have any good and recommended book on asp.net?
Does anyone know of an ASP-based search engine that uses a crawler/spider?
Preferably, I'd like one that uses markup tags so that I can, for example,
exclude blocks of text from being indexed, such as the header or navigation
borders.
I am just starting to learn ASP and would like to pick up a good book.
I have been through ASP Programming for the Absolute Beginner and got
some ideas, but it only discussed local servers running PWS or IIS -
nothing about working with an internet ASP hosting service. It also
lacks good descriptions of syntax.
I have also looked at the O'Reilly ASP in a Nutshell, but it seems
like a reference for more advanced users, not a learning tool.
I have some Javascript background, but right now I'm trying to pick up
ASP and VBScript at the same time so a book that has an ASP/VBScript
focus would be ideal.
I found this on E-Bay and heard that it's a good start.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...=ADME:L:DS:US:8
Can anyone with experience in ASP confirm this?
I know java and C++ very well along with server side programming. Now I have to learn VBScript for administrative (windows) purposes. Would someone pls suggest me waht is the best books for VBScript along with some good VBScript tutorial links .
View Replies View RelatedI have spent some time studying the Wrox Beginning ASP book. I'm getting the basic concepts by working the examples on PWS, but am not understanding how to utilize some of the ideas in my own web pages.Is there another book I can move on to that demonstrates these ideas in "real world" examples? I am wondering if ASP may just not be my thing. I do have some background in VB and my HTML skills are decent
View Replies View RelatedSo I don't have be asking annoying simple questions, can anyone recommend an ASP introductory book - not one of those bible size ones, but short & thorough?
View Replies View RelatedThe title says it all really .As a complete beginner to programming which language would you recommend I start with VB or C#.
my work lended me a book, Active Server Pages 3.0 for Beginners by WROX.So far its been pretty good, but here is the bummer,its kinda old. Since I am new to ASP, am I better off just sticking with this book and getting through it, or do any of you recommend one that is more "updated" or such and could be just as beneficial? This thing was reprinted in 2000.
View Replies View RelatedI'm a PHP coder over 3 years of experience. For a good client of mine, I need to learn ASP for his project and I have to learn it fast
if any of you ASP developers can give ma a good book recommendation? I already have advanced knowledge in PHP/JavaScript & MySQL. So I don't need a beginner level book but a crash-course like book which won't start telling me what an array/variable is but instead start directly with intermediate/advanced ASP features.
I hope there some books out there for people switching from other languages such as PHP/Java to ASP. I guess almost all ASP projects also use MS-SQL as database back-end.
I found "Sams Teach Yourself Active Server Pages 3.0 in 21 Days " and wonder if that would be a good book for a beginner. I don't have a programming background and I guress 21 days could turn into weeks or even months. Or is there something better for someone like me?
