Scripting.Dicti onary alternative

Adnan

Hi,
I am porting an existing ASP applcation to ASP.NET which heavily depends on Mainpulation through Scripting.Dicti onary. Can anyone help me out with an alternative to use of Scripting.Dicti onary.
Secondly, most of the migration done through VS.NET wizard has placed the existing ASP code in <Script> tags in an aspx place. Does the runtime take <script language="VB" runat="Server"> tag as a .NET code and compile it or leaves it for interpretation at runtime each time the page is accessed.
Last but not the least, the VS.NET debugger acts strange and makes silly jumps where as at times to on comments while going through the script tags.

Thanx ..... for atleast reading this - if not replying :)

Hi,

1. You have a couple of options here. The one that probably maps the closest
is the HashTable, however the ArrayList, SortedList the ListDictionary,
StringDictionar y and the HyrbidDictionar y may also be options. Depends on
exactly what you are wanting to do. Search msdn.microsoft. com to see the
differences between them. Also, this article has some good info on choosen
between them
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...netchapt13.asp.
2. You really want to move the code that is inline (in script tags in .aspx)
to code behind classes. " the development experience in Visual Studio .NET
2003 is much richer when using code-behind classes. The ability to compile
the code, see all build errors at once in Visual Studio .NET 2003, and step
through your code using the Visual Studio .NET 2003 debugger can drastically
reduce the effort required to maintain and update an application." this
article explains more
http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/us...ptimizing.aspx.
2.b. Page logic code that is written inside <script runat=server> blocks
within an .aspx file and dynamically compiled the first time the page is
requested on the server.
Page logic code that is written within an external class that is compiled
prior to deployment on a server and linked "behind" the .aspx file at run
time. for more info visit
http://support.microsoft.com/default...en-us;305141#4

Hope this helps,
Michael

Abysmal performance of Scripting.Dictionary object on 2003 server

I have an application which makes extensive use of the Scripting.Dictionary object.

Microsoft Scripting Runtime Reference

To use the Textstream object, I had to set a Reference to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime. This works good with A2000 Is the Scripting Runtime included with A2002 and A2003 so the Reference won't be broken when my app is opened with those versions. Also is the Scripting Runtime included as part of the A2000 Runtime Engine which some of my customers use.
