Author Best way for a .NET developer to work with/debug classic ASP

Hi
I am a .NET developer, but "have to" work with some classic ASP, which
I don't know much about.

What is the best way to work with it/debug it?

I have VS 2003 and 2005 installed, I know VS 6 (with C++), but don't
know if I can reinstall it. Other options I know about are Macromedia
trial versions.

Thanks
Olav

Learn, learn, learn.

Debugging what you don't understand is not reasonable.

Visual basic cannot be used, that is a compiler language, and ASP uses
script.

Don't confuse ASP with VBscript, using J[ava]script is also a good option.

I would certainly not start with that.

If you know the difference between serverside and clientside coding,
the rest is relativly simple.

You can debug classic ASP in VS2003.

In the project properties, go to Configuration Properties and select
Debugging.

deselect:
ASP.NET debugging

select
ASP debugging
