Hello,

new to asp.net and wondering how you would implement vbscript within a 2.0 web page. The desired end result is to export a datagrid to Excel. Currently I have the code below, however, the page won't compile and it gives me the following error "only content controls are allowed on a content pages that contain contant controls". Doesn't make much sense to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
D

<script language="vbscript">
Sub exportbutton_onclick
      Dim sHTML, oExcel, oBook
      sHTML = document.all.item("DataList1").outerhtml
      Set oExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
      Set oBook = oExcel.Workbooks.Add
      oBook.HTMLProject.HTMLProjectItems("Sheet1").Text = sHTML
      oBook.HTMLProject.RefreshDocument
      oExcel.Visible = true
      oExcel.UserControl = true
End Sub
</script>

The short answer is that you don't use VBScript in .NET. You use VB.NET.

However, I believe what you are asking is how to use VBScript as the client scripting language (versus javascript). Is this correct?

Yes, I am trying to export a datalist to excel. Prior to having the page within a content region the vbscript worked. Now it doesn't.
thanks,

can you post the relevant parts of the code? You probably don't need to post all the code of the script itself, but the parts of the page markup that affect where the script shows up in the rendered HTML.

Maybe also post the relevant parts of the rendered HTML from the browser.
