ASP in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition

Name

Buffer — Response.Buffer[= blnSetting ]

If set to True, then all scripts on the page are run before the results of that script are sent to the client browser.

The default value for the Buffer property is False unless you set ASPBufferingOn in the metabase (through a Windows Scripting Host script or through the Microsoft Management Console for your web site). If set in the metabase, the value there can be overridden using the Buffer property on a page. For example, if you set ASPBufferingOn to True, you could later use the Buffer property to override this behavior and force IIS not to buffer the page.
