I'm sort of trying to force my way through some manuals and w3schools trying to pick up asp. i'm farmiliar with PHP so i figure it will be a breeze there's just one general theory idea i don't understand. if ASP can be written with either javascript or vbscript. then is ASP just adding the <% %> tags around the code?
something like "Session.Timeout" or "response.write" this doesn't look like VBScript to me. are these elements of ASP, VBScript, or something else?
I hope you can understand my question.I'm sort of confused with the languages / where to look to find information because i dont know what to look for.
The company I work for is preparing to have our website recoded using .NET. I don't know anything about it and I know that you do, or did at least. So, my first question...is it possible to code .NET for free? For example, ColdFusion server is free to download, and I code it using a plain text editor. Can I do something similar using .NET? I want to learn .NET enough so that I can understand the programmers working on the site. Any help would be great. I've found some tutorials so I'm good there...I just need the framework before I can start using those tutes.
I'm thinking about learning ASP.NET. I currently have:
Windows 2000 Pro Dreamweaver MX 2004 IE 6 NS 7 TextPad. 4.5
I currently code in ASP-Jscrip, server side/ MSSQL What do I need to beable to learn ASP.NET? What software, what Version of windows etc.any good URLs to learn sites that I can use to learn? what books are recommended?
I want to learn ASP. He runs Win2K and I run WinXP HE. He just installed IIS on his computer. I've read that Microsoft doesn't support the installation of IIS on XP Home edition. Is it possible for me to access ASP from my computer?
We are connected to the same cable modem via a router but we aren't sharing files.
On another note, he is not very careful with viruses or firewalls. So he's gotten a LOT of viruses lately. That's the reason why I don't want to share files with him. But, since I need to learn ASP, I'm willing to start sharing files. Is there anything I could do to make our connection safe? I am running NAV and ZA.
i've looked a little at ASP...I think i'm going to learn this first; instead of PHP. It seems pretty easy also, so I might as well learn this now-Seems like more companies (Therefor more jobs) use ASP. A virtual hosting account with MS SQL isn't that much more, so really...Cost doesn't matter..not yet anyway. In asp you can use a different scripting language like VBscript, JScript, or even perl? Any others? What are some good Beginner books on asp? What are some good Intermediate-advanced books on asp?
What are some good beginner books on SQL? What are some good Intermediate-Advanced books on SQL?
I have been learning PHP for the past six months and am thinking about trying ASP. What exactly the difference between the two languages and what is it used for.
I've been using PHP for my own personal sites for a while. Been using WAMP server so I could develop the site on my own harddrive using PHP and MySQL. Now, it just occurred to me that ASP is probably the better route as far as getting a job.
So what are some good references? I prefer a book over websites so what book should I look for? I've only recently figured out that ASP isnt a language and that you use either JScript or VBScript. While I come from PHP, Jscript should naturally be my choice, but I think I'm going to go with VBScript. Should I look for an ASP book or a VBScript book or both?
I use Dreamweaver to develop ASP sites and am reaching a point where yes it is helpful but I want to know more.
I would like to dive in a hand code things one of these days and was wondering if anyone out there has any good references as to where I could learn the language from the ground up. I figured I'd ask the professionals out there so I can learn from a good reputable source, this way I can learn the right way.
I have been learning ASP stuff and have started to try to get into database connections.
We have Microsoft SBS4.5 (NT 4 packaged product) and it comes with Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0 & Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 (these are running on the same machine). The server is running the ASP pages ok, and i can do simple ASP things like "the time at the server is xxx" etc.
I have written the following script to check my database connection : Code:
I want to create some quizzes with Macromedia Learning Site and everything is working except for one thing. I can't get the text input from a textbox via form input to write into one column in an Access database.
It writes everything that it is supposed to except the columns to the right are filled with text that should be in the previous column. I am pasting the code below. What can I change to make the textbox input stay in one column.
Anytime there is more than one word entered in the textbox, it carries over to the next column. How can I tell it this is a string of data please? The textboxes (in this case) are ReceivedData(6) and ReceivedData(5). Code:
I am tasked with getting and application functional with AICC/SCORM. It is currently an .ASP and XML based web application. I just can't find any real code examples of how people are implementing a AICC "wrapper" to get the basic level of communitaion going between a CMS(LMS) and the course.
I think I understand the concept but really would like to see an example of sorts. Anybody out here actually write their own AICC Courses?
My company has developed a Learning and Content Management System (LCMS) using ASP (there is some .NET) and SQL Server 2000.I are currently exploring the idea of releasing the source code to the Microsoft development community under an open source agreement. If you or someone you know would be interested in participating please reply to this post with your contact information and why you are interested. (You may also send an email to URL with the subject "Open Source LCMS")
I have a problem with displaying data from a database where text is written in slovenian and in czech. The accents aren't displayed. What can I do to display all the accents in Slovenian and Czech?
A word in the database: prijímání (f) Displayed on my ASP page: prijímání (f) (the accent at r is missing)
My database is a Access-2000-database. All the accents are displayed in the database.
I really want to build mine using classic ASP as this is the language my trusted friend has a talent for.This seems to make sense in the short term. However I worry about the lack of social networking sites built with ASP.
There must be reasons for this. So plan to recode using PHP and transport existing database across once I have earnt enough from the website to pay for the services of a qualified person.Is this plan sensible, should I stick with my friend and ASP OR should I code with PHP from the start?
I have built a couple using a little ASP code for example the 'include' comand. The server I am using obviously supports ASP but I want to move to another host but they dont support ASP.
What other language would be similar to ASP. The new hosting site supports cgi, php and ruby. I know nothing about any of these. I may want to be able to access a database in the future or add a message board to a site so the language needs to be a bit interactive.
I'm looking for the best solution, for example, I don't know if it's better to have all the text in the page in all languages and then select it with a querystring:
page.asp?lang=1
And in the code:
lang = CInt(Request.QueryString("lang")) If lang = 1 Then ' xhtml for language 1 else ....
I don't consider this a good solution, it's a nightmare to update.Maybe storing text in a database? XML? I would like to hear your suggestions and opinions about best methods.
how to have multiple language asp pages? For example, you have a database driven website that you want customers around the world to use. How do you setup the asp pages so that it is easy to change the text based on where the user is connecting from?
Since ASP server scripts use VBScript by default, does it mean it is redundant to put the following in ASP page? Then when do we need to use this? In client-side VBScript?
I have learnt how to use some aspects of php. But have got a little stuck on databases. Are there some easy examples to follow from the internet on how to modify databases in asp?
Is asp very similar to php? In the sense that you can achieve the same things with it?
is there an online dictionary that I can use to learn asp? especially one that can be kept and stored offline(I am not on the internet at home)
I have no idea what would cause this because my system setting is set to English and all of my other programs that use the date and time are doing it in English but my ASP seems to be giving me the date in Italian For example..
WeekDayName(WeekDay(Now())) = venerdě instead of Friday.
I have some dynamic pages like asp files and the data comes from database. What I need is to display the page content to diffrent languages. Suppose user selects Germany and the page content changes to german language.
What's the best way to toggle two different language on the web site using asp. Some web sites seem to store html links in database and call it on demand. Please advise and show the best way to program it.
I want to make a website both in English and in French, I dont know how to design the database (same for both ) or different.

My set of .NET 2003 CDs has 2 .net cds; 1 prerequisite cd; plus msdn. I get to a certain point in the installation and it prompts me for the English Lanaguage CD and I don't know what this is. I bought the set from someone who didn't want them any more - did I not get one of the CDs?

I want to watermark images already on the server, on the fly as they're being called. I've found some PHP scripts that do it but I need them in an ASP environment using either VBScript(preferred) or Javascript. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
