A couple basic ASP questions ...

[josel]

Greetings!

I write CFML and have just acquired an account who's web site was written in ASP.

I have DWUD and figured I can use it to maintain this site. I received a CD with all files. I installed files under a subdirectory of a working site (FLASH) for me to play with and get my feet wet.

These are my questions:

CFML uses a template that executes everytime a template is loaded (application.cfm), is there an equivalent in ASP?

How can I identify where a DSN is opened (what is the syntax)?

Does ASP use application and/or session variables?

Can I use DWUD or should I go straight into ASP using editor?


Thank you all in advance for your time!

Regards;

-->ASP can use templates though I am unfamiliar with CFML and don't know what their version does....

How can I identify where a DSN is opened (what is the syntax)?
-->Depends on DSN or DSNless connections:
DSN --> Connection.Open "DSN=xxx_xxxxxx"
DSNless --> strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & _
Server.MapPath("xaspdata.mdb&quot & ";"


Does ASP use application and/or session variables?
--> can use both

Can I use DWUD or should I go straight into ASP using editor?
-->editor
