Buffering and Debug Statements
Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC
One of the things I do frequently while I'm programming is dump values out to indicate where I'm at as the page executes. However, if an error occurs, you may or may not see the lines you created with Response.Write. The property that controls this is the Response.Buffer property. If buffering is turned on (which it is by default in Windows 2000 and later), you will see the error message but no other text. If buffering is turned off (as in Windows NT 4.0), you'll see any text generated up to the point that the error occurred. If you're building your pages and anticipate errors, just turn buffering off, either at a site-wide level or on a per-page basis with this code:
Response.Buffer = False
