How to include adovbs.inc file in an aspx page?

I'm converting ASP classic page to ASP.NET. What's the proper way of including files with .inc extension to aspx pages?

<!--#include virtual = "adovbs.inc" -->

I've notice that each time that I change one of those pages containing the include directive pointing to .inc files to aspx, I'm getting all sort of errors from those .inc files.

I feel like just rewriting the logic inside those .inc files into vb classes.

Solution

The purpose of adovbs.inc or adovbs.asp was to provide a list of named constant values from the ADODB DLL (due to Classic ASP relying on late binding in VBScript for most of it's functionality).

Example snippet of adovbs.asp

'--------------------------------------------------------------------
' Microsoft ADO
'
' (c) 1996-1998 Microsoft Corporation.  All Rights Reserved.
'
'
'
' ADO constants include file for VBScript
'
'--------------------------------------------------------------------

'---- CursorTypeEnum Values ----
Const adOpenForwardOnly = 0
Const adOpenKeyset = 1
Const adOpenDynamic = 2
Const adOpenStatic = 3

'---- CursorOptionEnum Values ----
Const adHoldRecords = &H00000100
Const adMovePrevious = &H00000200
Const adAddNew = &H01000400
Const adDelete = &H01000800

This was until people realised you could use the METADATA data tag to import DLL constants direct from the Type Library instead of needing the adovbs include file.

<!-- METADATA 
        TYPE="typelib" 
        UUID="00000200-0000-0010-8000-00AA006D2EA4"
-->

In ASP.Net everything is compiled so there is no need for these constant files as they will already exist in some form in ADO.Net.
