Debugging ASP

[Christoph Brecht]

Hi there,

I am very new to ASP and I just want to know if there is a possibility to
debug the ASP code like you can do in PHP? Just like in PHP I want to get a
result which tells me whats wrong when the code is executed.

Thanks for help.
Cheers

The server will return back an error and the line number on which the error
occurs.

After setting IE up properly, http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2109, try:

Example:

<%
Dim x
x = 123989823
Response.Write CInt(x)
%>

That should return an error on line 4 and it should say something about an
overflow, because an integer variable cannot be that large. Also see
syntactical (?) errors like:

<% Response.Write "Hi %>
or
<% Response.Write "kjasdf" & %>
