My superior ask me to look for asp debugger. I tried to look for it but seems to be no many. Do you think there's a need for this asp debugger software? Since I can't get any evaluation copy, I can't find out if it helps me in debugging asp. All this while, I just need a text editor. I used Macromedia Dreamweaver in the past but now changed to HTMLKit. Just hope to hear from you all (ASP developer). If there is a need, which one do you guys recommend?

I've been coding ASP since 1997 without ever needing a debugger. Do they even make ASP debuggers?

There is a way to do this.. its pretty basic in its functionality.

Basically you can do an ON ERROR RESUME NEXT (goto isnt supported).

At the end of your page you can call an include file which has the following code:

Dim objErrorInfo
Set objErrorInfo = Server.GetLastError

Response.Write("ASPCode = " & objErrorInfo.ASPCode)
Response.Write("ASPDescription = " & objErrorInfo.ASPDescription)
Response.Write("Category = " & objErrorInfo.Category)
Response.Write("Column = " & objErrorInfo.Column)
Response.Write("Description = " & objErrorInfo.Description)
Response.Write("File = " & objErrorInfo.File)
Response.Write("Line = " & objErrorInfo.Line)
Response.Write("Number = " & objErrorInfo.Number)
Response.Write("Source = " & objErrorInfo.Source)

That is basically the best you can get in regards to asp debugging (on the code side of things).
