It's seriously annoying that Dreamweaver doesn't have a function in it to check the syntax of an ASP file.
IIS does it, though, when you try to run an ASP file: it compiles it on the spot and can give a fairly detailed error message when there's a syntax error or something.
I'm wondering if that part of IIS is accessible via an API: if it is, then it should be possible to write a plug-in for Dreamweaver which accesses that part of IIS to try to force compilation of an ASP file, and grab any error message that IIS generates.
How useful would that be? It's certainly more reliable and much easier than writing an ASP compiler one's self, besides which, I just don't have the time to sit there and write a whole compiler just to perform a simple function.
Any ideas? Thanks...
