Generate Numbers at the Server End

Generate Numbers at the Server End

Question:
How do I generate numbers at the server end? I have an application in which I am accessing data from an Access database and I want to define each record fetched in a separate

class. I don’t know how many records can be in the table, so I would have to generate the “id” parameter of the
tag automatically.

Answer:

Use a counter and as you walk through the recordset, increment it.

i = 0Do while not RS.EOF  i = i+1  response.write "
div text
RS.MovenextLoop
