Editing VBScript (section)

===Active server page===

VBScript is used for server-side web page functionality via [[Active Server Pages]] (ASP). The ASP engine, {{Mono|asp.dll}}, invokes {{Mono|vbscript.dll}} to run VBScript scripts. VBScript that is embedded in an ASP page is contained within <% and %> context switches. The following example displays the current time in 24-hour format.

<syntaxhighlight lang="aspx-vb" line="1">
 <% Option Explicit %>

 			' Grab current time from Now() function.
 			' An '=' sign occurring after a context switch (<%) is shorthand 
 			' for a call to the Write() method of the Response object.
 			Dim timeValue : timeValue = Now %>
 			The time, in 24-hour format, is 
 			<%=Hour(timeValue)%>:<%=Minute(timeValue)%>:<%=Second(timeValue)%>.
