Hi Everyone,

I need to create a listbox with 4 choices for a VB sample exam such as:
<!--#include file="Definition.asp"-->
How can I accomplish this using VB/asp where it will ignore the tags? I have attempted Response.write (server.htmlEncode(<!--#include file="Definition.asp"-->) but it still shows up.

Thanks so much-

I don't understand what you are trying to do, are you trying to comment out some VB.NET code? Comments can be delimited using the ' character if it's in a VB.NET code block. Again, i'm really confused as to what you are trying to do.

Im with Rodger on this one, I'm not quite sure what you're asking for, so can you please provide a detailed explanation of what you're trying to achieve please. Also, moving this to the ASP.Net Forum, as it is more appropriate there than in the VB.Net Forum

Sorry for not being more clear. Our project is to write a program to test student on their knowledge of VB ASP. Some questions are in text box format and they read "How would you declare a variable called "x" in VB script". After the student answers the questions, they click submit. The info gets sent via action=POST and we haveanother file which grades it.

The initial part with the questions and choices is in a <form></form> I am having issues with a question that uses list boxes for input. The question to the student is:
Select which of the following gives the correct syntax to include a file in your ASP file:

A few of the choices in the list box are:
<!--#include file= "Definition.asp"-->
>!--#include file= "Definition.asp"--<
<!--#include file= "Definition.asp"--<

How can I enter this text as merely text to populate the listbox, and not have the program treat it like a piece of code?

Thanks so much- Meighlow

You could try the HTMLEncode function in VBScript/ASP, like this





Try that and see if it helps any
