If you want to use the Code Project discussion forums on your site, then you'll need to find a host that supports ASP. Ask your current host, they may already support it. You could go either way with this. I'm sure there are plenty of Cold Fusion login systems available for free, and I know there are plenty of ASP login apps available (HotScripts.com). Personally, I would use ASP, but only because I don't know Cold Fusion. If you have to stick with your current host, then find out whether or not they support ASP. If they do, then you can use Code Project's discussion forums. If not, then you'll have to find a Cold Fusion forum to use. In the latter case, buy yourself a good book on Cold Fusion and have fun! If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask. Jon Sagara What about ?

I definitely want to use ASP -- I was just talking with somebody and they hinted that I wanted to use the Global ASA. I have done a lot of visual basic stuff, how do I make the leap to web programming.

But since you already know VB, I *highly* recommend the following book: Professional Active Server Pages 3.0 (Alex Homer et al) If your host doesn't support ASP, then ReadyHosting.com is a nice affordable host with lots of options.

This site has references to other sites with tutorials, examples, etc. If you are looking for paying ASP host, you can try 123HostNow.com(Feel free to strip referral info from link).

However it's syntax is VB and thats what i started programming in, so i'm sure it easy enough. I've only done server side programming in Perl and it doesn't have Request.Cookies object which if my memory serves me correctly...ASP does... Anyways...what yer saying then...is yes it is possible to read client side cookies...? This is the only way i can think of implementing a login sytem like here a codeproject. Happy thoughts!

Ok cookies are stored on the clients machine. When the client requests a page from the server the cookies that the site can access are passed long to the server in headers (I think.) You can then use Request.Cookies() to process and change the cookies. It is VBScript and ASP but they are really easy and if you know VB you will have no problems. Remember you only have access to cookies that you created or that are valid for your site. e.g. if your site is www.cnn.com and there is a cookie on the clients machine from www.bbc.co.uk then you will not even be able to see them. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Sonork ID: 100.9903 Stormfront Getting ASP to process a page twice Paul Watson10-Feb-02 23:13 Paul Watson 10-Feb-02 23:13  Ok the why of what I am going to ask would take three days to explain, so I won't. I just need the how please I have an ASP page which pulls some data from an XML file. Some of that data from the XML file is ASP itself. I need IIS to actually process that ASP data from the XML file isntead of just putting it in the buffer and sending it to the browser. So I was thinking that what I effectively need to do is have the ASP page on the first run pull out the data, and then have IIS process the data I pulled out as well. Any ideas or clues? thanks. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Sonork ID: 100.9903 Stormfront Re: Getting ASP to process a page twice Nish Nishant11-Feb-02 0:02 Nish Nishant 11-Feb-02 0:02  Rename the XML file on the server to ASP [the extension] That way the ASP snips get processed.

I wish it were that easy. I thought of that originally but then I cannot use XSL to process the XML. Basically I have an XML file which contains Page details and content. I then have an XSL file for each browser and device. The ASP page which is called originally merges the XML file with the correct XSL file and produces XHTML back to the browser. However there is ASP in some of the XML content (it was a mission just getting around XML rules to allow ASP in XML) and that is the ASP which does not get processed and instead is sent as-is to the browser. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Sonork ID: 100.9903 Stormfront Re: Getting ASP to process a page twice Konstantin Vasserman11-Feb-02 14:04 Konstantin Vasserman 11-Feb-02 14:04  Paul, Your questions get more and more confusing and scary.

Until MS release the Windows .NET OSs you need to download the .NET framework and install it on your server and any client machine which requires .NET capabilities. .NET is not JUST about the web or browser interfaces. If you are a C++ developer creating client/server apps then .NET can help you without forcing you to move to browsers.

Accessing a .ASP file but returning a .XML file Paul Watson9-Feb-02 0:31 Paul Watson 9-Feb-02 0:31  I would appreciate it if someone could please just point me in the direction of how to return a different file format to what the visitor accessed. Ok, that is a bit confusing so let me explain. I have an ASP file which combines, on the server side, an XML and XSL file to produce good old HTML and return it to the visitors browser. Naturally the visitor might type http://www.paulwatson.com/default.asp and the browser then expects back an .ASP file stream. This is all fine when I am using different XSL files to send back just HTML, but I am stuck on how when I want the XSL to transform an XML file into another XML vocab and return a .XML file to the browser when it is actually expecting .ASP Do you get what I am trying to do? If so how do I change the output stream from this ASP file to "tell" the browser to expect an XML file and not an ASP file? Any pointers, classes, functions, ideas would be appreciated. thanks regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Sonork ID: 100.9903 Stormfront Re: Accessing a .ASP file but returning a .XML file Konstantin Vasserman9-Feb-02 5:28 Konstantin Vasserman 9-Feb-02 5:28  Paul, Browser does not expect any particular type in response to its request. Instead server has to specify what type of document it is sending in the header of the response. You can send anything in response to http://www.paulwatson.com/default.asp. In order to change the type you have to do something like this: Response.Clear Response.ContentType = "MIME TYPE OF YOUR CHOICE" Response.Write myData Response.End Mime Type can be "text/xml" or "image/gif" or whatever it is you are sending back to client. You have to make sure that the above commands are the first Response commands in the page, otherwise it will not work. If you have something output to the client before those commands are executed - the default type will be "text/html". What I usually do is make sure that the first characters of the page are <% and the first command of the ASP is Response.Buffer = True.
