ASP Links

Links that lead to off-site pages about ASP.

• Microsoft. MS changes their site structures so often that I hesitate linking to anything for the long term.
  • asp.net
  • msdn.microsoft.com
  • msdn.microsoft.com/library
  • "ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) General Questions" [http://support.microsoft.com/support/activeserver/faq/data/adofaq.asp?SD=gn&LN=en-us&gssnb=1]. This could go in the ADO section too.
  • "Using VBScript and JScript on a Web Page" [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa260861(VS.60).aspx]
• ASP.NET .ASHX. 2010-04-26: One of the first things I needed to do with ASP.NET was output a non-HTML page, i.e. change the HTTP output. An ASP.NET generic handler file (*.ashx) does just that. You can output text (*.txt, *.json, *.xml, *.html, etc.) or binary (*.jpg, , *.mp4, *.swf, etc.) or just about any electronic file you want to. BTW, it is trivial to do this in Classic ASP, but .NET allows some fancier stuff too.
