PRB: Don't Modify ASP File Created by the WebClass Designer

• Microsoft Visual Basic Professional and Enterprise Editions for Windows, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

Place a Response.write command just before the ProcessNoStateWebClass call in the .asp file generated by the WebClass Designer. When you navigate to that site, you see only the Response.write output. You do not see any output from your WebClass even though the code is running.

CAUSE

The information that the WebClass writes to the Response property is flushed by the call to Response.write in the .asp file.

RESOLUTION

Do not change the .asp file that is created by the WebClass designer.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Following is a sample .asp file created by the WebClass Designer that has been modified. Notice the Response.write "Initializing " line of code.

Sample Code

   <%
   Response.Buffer=True
   Response.Expires=0

   If (VarType(Application("~WC~WebClassManager")) = 0) Then
    Application.Lock
    If (VarType(Application("~WC~WebClassManager")) = 0) Then
     Set Application("~WC~WebClassManager") =
     Server.CreateObject("WebClassRuntime.WebClassManager")
    End If
    Application.UnLock
   End if

   Response.write "Initializing "

   Application("~WC~WebClassManager").ProcessNoStateWebClass "MyApp.xxx", _
     Server, _
     Application, _
     Session, _
     Request, _
     Response
   %>
