Key Techniques

• ASP Debugging Server: The main function of this software is to debug ASP code. It's well known for all ASP developers, a satisfactory development tool is still absent for the time being, which is different from VC++, VC# and VB. Take DreamWeaver for example, for which the ASP code edit function is available, but it's very inconvenient to debug the ASP program; InterDev released by Microsoft, for instance, which is mainly developed for networks engineering, makes it possible to debug ASP code, but it's difficult to configurate IIS server with InterDev. Even you configurate the IIS in the mode of debugging, browser may encounter extra code accessory with information visited, which may result in the failure of image display sometimes (If you choose to display the image data with ASP code, the image may be displayed normally during non-debugging and fail to be displayed during debugging). Visual Studio 2003 can also be used as an ASP debugger, but the above problem may arise too, even worse, in most case, the debugger fails to be started up. Author embed the ASP debugging server, and enable it to exchange information with the main window conveniently. You can debug your ASP programs at any time.
• ASP Source Code editor: There are many static page editors available, however, an excellent ASP source code editor is scarce. Many developers compile ASP code with EditPlus, Ultraedit and other tools, but the ASP code grammar cue is not applicable for EditPlus, let alone grammar cue for object user-defined.

Basic Step for Operating

• Create a new project: Click the mouse right key on the 'solution' bar, and create a new ASP project. The project may be existent or newly-created. If you have created many projects, you can choose one of them as startup project. You may appoint a startup file for every project, when the debugger is started up. Startup project's WEB root directory (namely the root directory of the project, if no appointment has been made) will be the ASP server's root directory, and the startup file will be first run.
• Edit the document: Double click the web file under project directory tree, and the editor will be run automatically for editing. You can also appoint an outer program to run the corresponding file. Our product is aimed at the ASP development, so source code is optimized for editing. Though the visual editing for HTML is not applicable, you're able to carry out interactive editing conveniently with outer editor.
• Set the breakpoint: Click the furthest left bar corresponding to ASP code with mouse left key, and you can set or cancel the breakpoint for debugging. When the debugger runs to the point, it will automatically return to the main interface. At that time, you're able to watch current parameter values of every kind in the 'auto variable'. You can also add the variable to be monitored to the windows of 'Watch1' or 'Watch2' with the help of 'add variable' in the menu; or you can directly watch the value of a certain variable by the 'quick watch' function.
• Watch the variable: When the program is running on the breakpoint, the corresponding variable's basic value will be displayed in the mode of ToolTip at corresponding place, if you point the cursor to the variable to be checked and keep still for about one second. You can watch multiple variables conveniently.
• Error cue: When the debugger detects a certain grammar error, it will automatically run the corresponding file to the editing interface, and display a cue at the error code.
