This tutorial describes how to Write ASP-generated content to the most effective method in the Response stream, that is, to test the efficiency when outputting content to the client using Response. Write and <% = %>.
One of the main reasons for using ASP is to generate dynamic content on the server. Obviously, the starting point of our test is to determine the most suitable method for sending dynamic content to the response stream.
Among the multiple options, two are the most basic: one is to use the inline ASP tag, and the other is to use the Response. Write statement.
To test these options, we created a simple ASP page with some variables defined and their values inserted into the table. Although this page is very simple, it is not very practical
But it allows us to separate and test some separate issues.
Use ASP inline flag
The first test involves marking with inline ASP <% = x %>, where x is a variable with a value assigned. So far, this method is the easiest to execute, and it makes the HTML part of the page
Maintain a format that is easy to read and maintain.
<%
Option explicit is used to define each variable before it can be used.
