-[[ASP]] is about creating applications that work on the internet in a web browser. To create applications that work in a web browser, then you will need to generate [[HTML]] and use a web server (on windows you will need [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Information_Services IIS] )
-When you have decided to use [[ASP]] , then you should try to resist the urge to generate all the [[HTML]] from Visual DataFlex. The overall idea of ASP is to integrate your code into HTML in the most efficient manner (E.g. if you have a class called oHTMLWriter then something went wrong!)
-The trick is to let your VDF code handle the data and business logic and let [[ASP]] handle the [[HTML]] presentation.
