Simple? asp question regarding <% %> syntax : is more better? 2

[puterdude]

Hi,

I'm a newbie. I have multiple lines of asp code:
ie.

<% if inStr(myvar,&quot;A&quot then Response.write(&quot;selected&quot End if %>
<% if inStr(myvar,&quot;B&quot then Response.write(&quot;selected&quot End if %>
<% if inStr(myvar,&quot;C&quot then Response.write(&quot;selected&quot End if %>

Would it be better to use only one set of brackets?

<%
if inStr(myvar,&quot;A&quot then Response.write(&quot;selected&quot End if
if inStr(myvar,&quot;B&quot then Response.write(&quot;selected&quot End if
if inStr(myvar,&quot;C&quot then Response.write(&quot;selected&quot End if
%>

Thanks,

PuterDude

It doesn't really matter but using them on every line is a PITA (Pain in...) and I think, harder to read.

Is better the second way for the computer, It's more easy to read and execute. Thanks.

Just to expound a little,
the second way is better because it reduces the amount of context switching for the CPU. by reducing the amt of context switching, the webserver CPU works more efficiently.

Other things that you might want to keep in mind:
String concatentation in VB is VERY slow... try to keep string concat to a minimum.

If you have multiple response.writes, combine them all into one long response.write. It reduces the amount of funciton calls that you need to make, but by using the _ you don't need to lose much readablity.

just trying to help

Thanks everyone. Really helped.
Not sure what you mean about the concatenation. I know what it is, I just don't know what you mean about one long write.
I'm using jmail and I have to concantenate to get what I want. Seems to work.
