I want to put "#include file " in <td> tag depends on if ..then statment.
How can I do that. Maybe I have to do different way?

I have heard - and therefore may be wrong - that all include statements are processed as the first thing done; i.e. include statements cannot be used the way you say unless you do some hacking like doing a redirect if some condition is fullfilled and then include the right file etc.

Hope it helps!

Jacob is right. If you are using IIS5+ you can use Server.Execute instead of the #include.

All include statements are processed and thus the files are included before the page is processed, but the included pages are not actually processed. Essentially, the ASP runtime takes all the files that are in the requested page (the main .asp file and any #included ones) and constructs one long page of code. It then processes the whole thing. Assuming that the code that is in one include file can safely live between an If and Else/EndIf it is perfectly allowable. Just remember that the file will always be included whether or not it's processed.

I don't agree with that.

Yeterday I've build an asp app with a lot of if...then statements.
each if..then statement checks if some variables are true. If so, then file is loaded.

Here is an example:

<%
if bla="blabla" then
%>

<%
end if
%>

I had this very same problem awhile back and Imar was nice enough to send these links. You can view this topic on this very board at http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5960 or page 19.

I could include htm/html files no problem, but the minute I tried to dynamically include an ssi that executed code, it would crash. The 2nd link from above is from 4GuysFromRolla, and that article solved my problem.

Pherms,

Planoie, pgtips and jacob are all right, in what they say. It is not possible to implement include files that way. It wont work as expected.

Even if your "If ....." statement failed, still that file would be included. So did you try doing the same with multiple if meaningful conditions? That would not work as you expected.

Still it is possible to do so. Read this article. You would get this solved.

Perhaps the reason you think that works is because you are missing the ever critical # that makes the comment into an include directive.

To prove that all files are always included, try this:
<% If False Then %>

<% End If %>

When I run this, I get this error despite a condition that ensures that the include file will never be processed:

Error Type:
Active Server Pages, ASP 0126 (0x80004005)
The include file 'nonExistantFile.html' was not found.
/test/asp/conditionalIncludes.asp, line 10
