ASP expected end of statement

[ayu]

Tried to output some ASP code to a file via an SQL query.
Although when I run the file I get this error:

Code: Select all

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0401'

Expected end of statement

/tmp.asp, line 4

HelloWorldLabel.Text = "Hello, world!";
--------------------------------------^

Now, usually this would be because there is no new line after the statement, but there is.
Any ideas?

hm, tried to put the statement into (" ") already?

I kind of solved that problem, now I got a new one lol xF (I hate ASP and VB)

The following works

Code: Select all

<%= Hello world %>

But if I write the following to check if the server supports VB or C#, I get an error

Code: Select all

<script runat="server" language="VB"></script>

Code: Select all

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0129'

Unknown scripting language

/tmp.asp, line 1

The scripting language 'VB' is not found on the server. 

The first error in my first post said "Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0401'", which I interpreted as the server supported at least VB, but new error says otherwise x).
The server is full of asp pages that connect to a MySQL database and what not, so some sort of language must be supported (It's a Windows server).

Does "classic ASP" count as a language maybe, and does it support connecting to a database without VB?

Turns out it's called "VBScript" and not "VB" sometimes ...
