test.asp

<%
if Trim(Request.QueryString("lan")) <> "" then
strUserLan = Lcase(Trim(Request.QueryString("lan")))
else 
strUserLan = "en"
end if
Execute(GetFileContents(strUserLan & ".asp")) 
%>
<a href="?lan=en">en</a>
<a href="?lan=jp">jp</a>

<%
response.write str1


Function GetFileContents(strIncludeFile)
On Error Resume Next 
Dim objFSO
Dim objText
Dim strPage 
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 
Set objText = objFSO.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath(strIncludeFile)) 
GetFileContents= objText.ReadAll
objText.Close
Set objText = Nothing
Set objFSO = Nothing
IF Err Then 
Response.Write "Error open this language package file<<" & strIncludeFile & ">>!"
Response.End
END IF 
End Function

%>



en.asp



Public const str1="english"


jp.asp


Public const str1="japanese"




I found on the web that public const is used here, what's the difference of const and variable here? and it seems that public const works, as one can change the value of it, should I declare it as a const?
what should be used here?

Thanks.

ah, I just remembered that we need to use variables as we can't use dynamic include in IIS4.<

I tried the following cases:

public const str1="xxx"
const str1="xxx"
str1="xxx"

All worked. This only will run on IIS 5+, because you are using the Execute statement, also FSO must exist. There shouldn't be any problems in multiuser environments, perhaps except performance.

I actually understand how & why it works, but I'm not sure how it is handled internaly. Using "const" will be most efficient method generally, but I think (but not sure) this time IIS will not use its performance because it will re-compile the pages on every hit.
