As most ASP programmers will know, the ASP object model is a limited one compared to that of VB 6. Although this problem will be resolved with the release of ASP.NET, for now ASP programmers have to put up with a limited array of ASP error handling commands (even less than in standard VB). The essential differences are outlined here:
On Error Resume Next
- SupportedOn Error Goto XXX
- Not Supported (as the GoTo command and labels
are not supported)Error
- Not supported, use Err.Description instead.On Error Goto 0
- Supported; cancels the On Error Resume Next statement
Therefore, ASP programmers are basically limited to using
On Error Resume Next ' possible error?
Set objObject = Server.CreateObject("MyDLL.MyClass")
If Err Then
'an error occured
End If
I can't wait for ASP.NET!!!
