Pass Parameters to <!-- #Include File="file.asp" -->

[vunet.us]

What is the workaround of passign a parameter to any included asp
file:

<!-- #Include File="file.asp" -->

This obviously does not work:

<!-- #Include File="file.asp? id=123" -->

Thank you

Server.Execute Method

The Execute method calls an .asp file, and processes it as if it were part of the calling ASP script. The Execute method is similar
to a procedure call in many programming languages.

so will this work?: Server.Execute myfile.asp?id=1 23

no, you don't need to pass anything through.

The external file is processes information as though it is part of the originating file.

Therefore any values in the originating file (id=123) can be used by the external file.

Do you say I cannot use params at all?

[Jon Paal [MSMD]]

params aren't required with this solution, please read the instructions for usage at the site link provided.

Thank you

Is the file being included expecting to be able to read parameters from the
querystring?
Can it be independantly visited by the client or is it always intended to be
an include?

i've decided using this strategy:
dim id : id=123
<!-- #Include File="file.asp" -->
id=321
<!-- #Include File="file.asp" -->

where file.asp will assign id value to appropriate object.
yes, i do need to use some kind of include method

This is an especially inefficient way to use include files. You would be
better served by putting the applicable parts of the include into a Sub or
Function, then call them with the respective IDs:

[------- Begin file.asp ----------]
Sub DoStuff(id)
{ your included code goes here }
End Sub
[-------- End file.asp -----------]

As long as everything in the include is in functions or subroutines, you can
place it anywhere in your document and make the calls where you need them.

so if I have 4 pages I normally "include" now, you suggest to combine
them into one page each within a sub? that will be a loooong code
page. what is "inefficien t" about my method above? i understand that
may not be the best way, but i want to know how it make things worse.
