converting asp to aspx

prowla2003 · June 18, 2003

I'm trying to convert asp straight to aspx with minimal changes to the original asp file...

the asp file has an include file...

and the specific problem i have is when i compile the page

i get "Compiler Error Message: BC30188: Declaration expected."

on the line

str = "HELLOEESDFA"

which is inside the include file.

can anyone offer an explanation??

dim str

str = "HELLOEESDFA"

function HelloWorld(str)

HelloWorld = "Hello " & str

end function

</script>

<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="test4.aspx.vb" Inherits="test4"%>

<HTML>

<HEAD>

</HEAD>

<body>

</form>

</body>

</HTML>

You should be using Visual Basic .NET, not VBScript.

<script runat="server">
Dim s As String

Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
   s = "HELLOEESDFA"
End Sub 'Page_Load

Function HelloWorld(text As String) As String
   Return "Hellow " & text
End Function 'HelloWorld
</script>

Things changed in .NET for ASPX... better read about it before doing any upgrade, took me a lot of time to upgrade an ASP app I had to ASPX, you can find a lot of information on the MSDN Library

For

dim str

str = "HELLOEESDFA"

you cannot use <script> tag. You have to use <% %>.

so to get this right...

if i have an existing asp include file with the following code excerpt

<%

dim gStr

gStr = "HELLO"

function Hello()

'dosomething

end function

%>

i cannot just use it in an aspx without taking out lines that instantiate variables

ie

gStr = "HELLO"

(ps. thanx for all the replies)
