Is there a way to insert an .asp page into a .aspx page? I am trying to integrate a table from the asp page into the current aspx conversion of a mobile site. I am new to ASP and .NET; therefore, I am seeking ways to start.
Hmm, that is interesting. I could see that maybe working; however, iframes don’t meet code standards anymore, so I want to ensure I am keeping current. However, thank you for this idea.
iframes are definitlely still a standard. If anything asp.old is not a standard anymore. So other that a complete rewrite or iframe, I do not think you have another option. I am not sure if and <!–#include–> would work or not, but it might be worth a shot
Here is one way to go about it, this works by by scraping the content of the ASP page. I’m assuming you are using VB as you are coming from a Classic ASP background.
Imports System.Web
Imports System.Net
Imports System.IO
''' <summary>
''' Scrapes the HTML of the given URL
''' </summary>
''' <param name="Url">The URL to Scrape</param>
''' <returns>A string containg the HTML</returns>
Public Shared Function ScreenScrape(ByVal Url As String) As String
Dim returnString As String = String.Empty
Dim response As WebResponse
Dim request As WebRequest
If Url.StartsWith("http://") Then
' full URL passed
request = HttpWebRequest.Create(Url)
Else
' Partial Path passed, build the URL
Dim Domain As String = HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")
If Not Url.StartsWith("/") Then Url = "/" + Url
request = HttpWebRequest.Create("http://" + Domain + Url)
End If
Try
response = request.GetResponse()
Using sr As New StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())
returnString = sr.ReadToEnd()
End Using
Catch ex As Exception
' if an error is returned, view the HTML source code to see what the exception message is.
returnString = String.Format("{0}<p>There was an error retrieving the HTML</p>{0}<!-- {1} -->", Environment.NewLine, ex.Message)
End Try
Return returnString
End Function
Just place a Literal control on the page where you would like to have the injected code and call the function like this:
