Now that we have gone over the common loops found in ASP we need to talk about a couple of other useful statements.

Select-Case Statement

First of, the Select-Case statement is a very effective means of executing statements based on the value of a given variable.

JobType="Programmer"

Select Case JobType
	Select "GraphicsDesigner"
		Response.write("I am a Graphics Designer")

	Select "NetworkEngineer"
		Response.write("I am a Network Engineer")

	Select "Programmer"
		Response.write("I am a Programmer")

End Select

In this example the statement "I am a Programmer" would be outputted to the page. A "Case Else" statement can be added so if the condition is not met a selected set of statements are then executed. The Select-Case statement is useful for a greater degree of control, ease of use, and ease of reading than several If-Then-Else statements.

With Statement

The With statement enables several statements to be performed on an object without the object being requalified everytime.

With ColorScheme
	.Trim="Green"
	.MainColor="Red"
	.PinStrips="Yellow"
End With

Nesting Statements

All the previous loops and statements have the ability to be nested within each other and within themselves. For instance:

If x=y then
	do until x=8
		x=x+1
	loop
End If

In this instance if "x" is equal to "y" a Do-Until Loop is executed until "x" is equal to "8".
