Comment Your Code
Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC
One of the biggest faults of ASP programmers is that they don't comment their code. Comments make it easier for both you and other programmers to understand what you were thinking when you wrote the code. You have two main ways of commenting your code. The first is an HTML comment that should not be placed within the ASP delimiters:
<!-- this is an HTML comment -->
The other type of comment goes within the ASP delimiter tags and is marked with a single quote, as shown here:
<%
' This comment goes within ASP code
%>
These comments don't get sent to the user's browser, whereas the HTML comments do, so be careful what content you're putting in your comments. Storing your database passwords and IP addresses in HTML-based comments is not normally a good idea.
