XML Statistics - anymore?

[Bluestonegames]

Hi folks,
I've succesfully managed to implement the current XML statistics in ASP. However, this only works when i'm online and I've got the server running. When it's not online, because the asp doesn't know what to do, it just displays an error page.

Isn't there another XML statistic that finds out whether the server is connected or not? That way I can display an 'offline' message, as I can't be online 24 hours a day :P.

Observe...

Many thanks,

Have you tried wrapping some sanity checks around the server call?

What are sanity checks? :S

[FesterHead]

If (server not opened)
output server down message
Else
gather DNAS XML statistics
massage
output

Sorry, I'm not very good with ASP. Is that the actual code I should use?

[FesterHead]

No. That is an algorithm.

Implementation is up to the programmer in the target language.
