Ever had to dynamically execute ASP code? For example, do you want to retrieve ASP code from a database and execute it on the go? Or execute ASP code provided through a webform? ASPEval makes all this possible, for free, with just one line of code. All you have to do is pass a string containing the ASP code you want to execute to one of the ASPEval functions, and your code will be executed. The output can either be displayed to the user or returned as a string.
