    <p>As much as it pains me to say so, visual studio.net 2003 works quite well as an IDE with asp classic pages. Plus, if you use Whole Tomatoe's Visual Assist addin with it, they actually make classic asp fun to code in. Seriously. Totally tolerable AND debuggable. And if you toss in AspUnit for classic, you can easily run/maintain unit tests right alongside all your pages. </p> <p>It works for classic Asp just like the big boys use for their .Net coding minus a few of the .net niceties, of course</p> <p>With vs.net 2003 you can actually step though code one line at a time. you get breakpoints. You also get all locals variables shown while stepping and a working call stack which is nice if you have nested objects/procs/includes.</p> <p>If you get the 'Visual Assist' addin-- and you use option explicit-- you also get a very workable version of Intellisense for all your vbscript objects and procedures. Pretty amazing to get Intellisense in a scripting language however they manage to pull that off.</p> <p>And for testing your classic code AspUnit is perfectly functional "red/green" visual component.</p> <p>It took me forever to finally get it all set up together and running proper but it was well worth it for a buttload of legacy code I inherited.
