asp to aspx conversion problem

[John]

Hi

I have used the wizard provided on www.asp.net to convert an asp app to
aspx. Now I am getting the Type 'xxx' is not defined error on the following;

Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim Flds As ADODB.Fields

How can I fix this?

Thanks

Regards

Drop the conversion app and learn ASP.NET.

I'm not trying to be rude, but if you have code that looks like that, why
not just keep it in ASP?

There's no situation where using a conversion tool will be beneficial. If
your app is small, it shouldn't take very long to convert it. If it's big, a
conversion tool will fail miserably and you'll end up with a huge
unmaintainable mess.

Hi Karl

Its an average size app and there is a lot of repetitive sort of code. I
figure if I can get answer to this question a lot of stuff would be fixed
easily.

Thanks

Karl is absolutely right - the conversion wizard is worse than useless, and
will only end up causing you much more problems than it solves...

ADO has been superseded by ADO.NET - don't even think of trying to use ADO
in ASP.NET...

Buy yourself a decent introduction to ASP.NET or go on a beginners'
course...
