Strange problem with nvarchar(max) fields and Classic ASP

Question

I\'m working on a Classic ASP (VBScript) site that\'s running on a Windows 2008 server with IIS7 and hitting a SQL Server 2008

Answer 1

I just had a similar problem (only with SQL Server 2005, not 2008):

If Not IsNull(rs("Title")) Then
    Response.Write "The title: " & rs("Title") 
End If

The Response.Write was executed, but the title itself was not displayed.

It took me quite some time until I figured out that the combination of ASP Classic and nvarchar(max) was causing the problem.
Then I found this and did what was described there...I changed my code to this:

SomeVariable = rs("Title")    
If Not IsNull(SomeVariable) Then
    Response.Write "The title: " & SomeVariable 
End If
