12.1 Comments/Troubleshooting

The ASP.NET equivalents of most classic ASP intrinsic objects are returned by properties of the ASP.NET Page class. These properties are shown in Table 12-1.

Table 12-2. ASP.NET equivalents of ASP intrinsic objects
ASP object	Equivalent ASP.NET class	Returned by
Application	HttpApplication and HttpApplicationState	Page.Application property
ASPError	None (ASP.NET uses Structured Exception Handling)
ObjectContext	HttpContext	Page.Context property
Request	HttpRequest	Page.Request property
Response	HttpResponse	Page.Response property
Server	HttpServerUtility	Page.Server property
Session	HttpSessionState	Page.Session property

In this chapter, we'll use the following code listing as the basis for most examples. Unless otherwise noted, each example will consist of just the Page_Load event handler for that particular example. Any displayed output messages or return values will be shown as the Text property of the ASP.NET Label control named Message or displayed by calling Response.Write:

<%@ Page Language="vb" %>
<html>
   <head>
      <script runat="server">
         Sub Page_Load( )
            'Example code will go here
         End Sub
      </script>
   </head>
<body>
   <asp:label id="Message" runat="server"/>
</body>
</html>
