converting asp to aspx

prowla2003 · Jun 18, 2003

Im 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??

<script language="VBScript" runat="server">

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>
<title>test4</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 7.0">
<meta name="CODE_LANGUAGE" content="Visual Basic 7.0">
<meta name="vs_defaultClientScript" content="JavaScript">
<meta name="vs_targetSchema" content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5">
</HEAD>
<body>
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
</form>
</body>
</HTML>

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

Code:

<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)
