Commenting out lines of code 2

[alexkeel79]

Is it possible to comment out more than one line of code in ASP/VBScript?

unforntunately we cannot do that but here are two ways to acheive the same thing...code found online...

<% 
    Sub doNotExecuteThisCode 
        For Each x In Request.Form 
            Response.Write x & "<br>" 
        Next 
        Response.End 
    End Sub 
%>

<% 
    ExecuteCodeBlock = FALSE 
    If ExecuteCodeBlock Then 
        For Each x In Request.Form 
            Response.Write x & "<br>" 
        Next 
        Response.End 
    End If 
%>

Very useful, but the sub/end sub thing won't work in the middle of another sub. Instead of defining a false variable to make the if false, I just use "if 1 = 0". It's pretty obvious when you read the code that it is not meant to be true.

The second is a variation on the old trick of creating a global variable at the top of your page called debug, which you set to true or false. Then in your code you just have

If debug Then
  Response.Write("Whatever")
End If

However, I always end up commenting it out so that the system isn't checking for the value when thousands (or more) of users are hitting the page. But not till the end.
