ASP_DEBUG_INFO metafile
Posted on 2001-06-18
When I view the source on any asp page in one particular application I'm working on I see that the first several lines have this metafile inserted first which includes the term ASP_DEBUG_INFO followed by may lines of numbers. All of this is surrounded by regular html comment tags.
I didn't put this in on purpose but I'm thinking VI's debug tools did. It seems that when an error occurs in my asp pages the typical error page (the one which indicates what type of error and what line, etc.) doesn't show up. This "bugs" me since I rely heavily on the hack and detect method of debugging alot more than the debugging tools that come with VI. Probably because I am still learning those tools and am not too comfortable with them.
I want to learn how to get rid of these lines. Any help out there?

Following is an excerpt of a Microsoft page that holds the solution to this very problem... ;-)
SYMPTOMS
When you view or debug an Active Server Pages (ASP) page, you may notice that the following tag is inserted into the resultant HTML at the top of your page:
<!-- METADATA TYPE="ASP_DEBUG_INFO" -->
When this tag is inserted into the resultant HTML, it may cause problems in the following scenarios:
When you generate XML in your ASP page and send the XML to the client rather than HTML.
When you use the Response.BinaryWrite method to stream binary data to the client (for example, a Microsoft Excel document).
CAUSE
ASP sends down this tag when the following two conditions are met:
The Enable ASP client-side script debugging flag is enabled for the Web application.
An ASPCLIENTDEBUG cookie is present on the client that makes the request.
Typically, when you use automatic debugging with Visual InterDev 6.0, both of these conditions are met. The Visual InterDev debugger requires this tag at run time to automatically map breakpoints in the client script.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods.
Method 1
Disable the Enable ASP client-side script debugging flag as follows:
In the Internet Services Manager, right-click the Web application with which you are currently working, and then click Properties.
Click Configuration.
On the App Debugging tab, clear the Enable ASP client-side script debugging check box.
Method 2
Delete the ASPCLIENTDEBUG cookie from your client computer as follows:
On your computer, search for a file named username@applicationname*.
After you locate the file, delete it.
NOTE: If you need to debug in the above-mentioned scenarios, you must manually debug the application.
Cheers,
Max.
