Are you using ASP or ASP.NET? They are two very different technologies. Since ASP.NET came out many people are referring to the older version as "class ASP".
If that is what your site is running then your ASP.NET books will not help you to understand it because ASP.NET uses either Visual Basic.NET or C#.NET while ASP uses VB Script which bears very little relationship to the objected oriented .NET languages. Assuming your site is in classic ASP (file extension .asp) and not ASP.NET (file extension .aspx) I'd suggest getting the ASP for Dummies book instead. There are also a whole lot of asp tutorials on the net. Cheryl D. Wise Certified Professional Web Developer MS-MVP-FrontPage www.wiserways.com mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 713.353.0139 Office -----Original Message----- From: jmwcruiser I have been asked to make some modifications to a web site that is done in ASP. I have only one experience using ASP and it was done via the *cookbook* method. (I bought a password utility using ASP and did manage to get it installed and running--much to my surprise). Anyway, as all the pages in this Web site are in ASP I thought I should learn more about it. The requested changes don't really require ASP -- mostly rewriting the content-- but I don't want to break anything while I am dong this project and thought this would be a good opportunity to learn something new. I bought two books -- ASP.NET for Dummies and SAMS Teach Yourself ASP.NET. I am stuck at the beginning getting the environment set up. I am using a PC with Windows XP Pro and have a web site that I can use for learning that has the .NET 1.1 Framework installed. I would rather not set up my PC as a web server. Can't I just upload the pages to my web site and run them from there? Do I really need to install IIS and the .NET Framework Software Development Kit on my PC? ____ � The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM � ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
