Debugging
I've never used interdev to develop any applications i've written and i don't ever intend to, however what would be handy if i could use it to debug my applications.
In the most simplistic terms, how do i use interdev to debug my asp pages (individually)???
When i open VInterdev it seems to want to create a project and redundent files and connect to my web server. I don't want to do that.
Ideally i want to : Open file > set breakpoint > run file > Step through code.
Thanks

Yes, this is how i work at the moment, but it would be handy to be able to interegate variables on the fly sometimes.

Good MSDN article is "Microsoft Visual InterDev 6.0 Debugging" -

I don't use Interdev.
For debugging I use Response.write to display values in the browser.
ASP pages are usually quite short, if they get too long, I write functions. Be sure that one page never does more then just one thing (I hate asp-pages that are posted to itself, using IFs and CASEs, you can build basically all application within a single ASP page, but the code is sooo unreadable and it costs a lot of performance to compile the complete code every time, even when only a small part of the code is actually being used).
If a page just one thing, then it is easy to debug and you don't need more then Response.write.
Although, I have some quite complicated functions. Those larger functions have *always* debugging code build in, which displays if Session("debug") is True.
