[Mono-devel-list] AW: VB script in ASP page

Tue Aug 17 08:24:46 EDT 2004

The problem Anirban described, I only get when I try to use <%= %> or <% %>.

Example not working:
====================
<%@ PAge language="VB" %>
<html>
<body>
<% response.write ("Inside of Page_Load<br>") %>
Hello world of VB!
</body>
</html>

Example working :)
==================
<%@ PAge language="VB" %>
<html>
<body>
<script language="vb">
sub Page_Load (sender as object, e as eventargs)
response.write ("Inside of Page_Load<br>")
end sub
</script>
Hello world of VB!
</body>
</html>

Betreff: VB script in ASP page

Hi,
I am able to compile the generated VB code in mbas.
But when I try to run the ASP page get the following exception in browser.

Server error in '/' application
Description: Error processing request.

Error Message: HTTP 500.

Stack Trace:

System.FormatException: Unknown char: <

Can I get some help from ASP gurus to resolve this bug.
This looks to me a VBCodeGeneration bug.
Hopefully, this is the final hurdle to run VBScript in ASP.

Thanks.
Anirban.
