Monthly ASP Classic Lesson
	Language Basics Topic: Code Snippet of the Month Random Numbers with Rnd and Randomize Call randomize then call Rnd to generate a random number between 0 and 1. The following generates a random number from the low to high number including the low and high numbers: Function GetRandomInt(LowNumber, HighNumber) RANDOMIZE GetRandomInt = Round(((HighNumber-1) - LowNumber+1) * Rnd+LowNumber) End Function Response.Write GetRandomInt(10, 100) ASP Classic Topic: Documented Error of the Month: ASP Classic error 0208 : 80004005 (Generic request collection) Error: error 'ASP 0208 : 80004005' Cannot use generic Request collection /_private/footer_content.inc, line 72 Cannot use the generic Request collection after calling BinaryRead. Explanation: Although you can use the generic request collection, as in Request("SomeValue"), for either Request.Form("SomeValue") or Request.QueryString("SomeValue"), it's best to avoid the generic request collection until it's really needed. The generic request collection causes problems in some circumstances. For example, you cannot call the generic request collection after a BinaryRead. ASP Classic Topic: Resource Link of the Month: VBScript Language Reference on Microsoft.com http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d1wf56tt.aspx The best resource for quickly looking up ASP Classic commands. Even better than having a reference book. Language Details Topic: FAQ of the Month: Associative Arrays in ASP Classic Question: What is the syntax in ASP Classic for using an associative array? Answer: Use a dictionary: Dim StateList set StateList = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") StateList.Add "CA", "California" Response.Write "NV is " & StateList("NV") For more examples, refer to our ASP Classic Associative Array (Scripting.Dictionary) article. Language Details Topic: Tip of the Month Using Request.QueryString Although you can use the generic request collection, as in Request("SomeValue"), for either Request.Form("SomeValue") or Request.QueryString("SomeValue"), it's best to avoid the generic request collection until it's really needed. Use a For Each loop to loop through elements.
