Will an invalid file include in classic asp show up in my sourcecode?

If i include a File in classic ASP and it didnt work (maybe cause of an invalid directory), will it show the comment in the HTML Code?

Y or N is enough.

No, it will throw a runtime error not dissimilar to this;

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0126'

Include file not found

/yourfile.asp, line [insert number]

The include file '/includes/yourinclude.asp' was not found

Because the #include SSI (Server Side Include) directive is pre-processed by IIS before the response is returned by a server it will never appear on the client-side as a HTML comment.

If however you remove the hash (#) from include it is no longer a pre-processing instruction being ignored by IIS and treated as a normal HTML comment when rendered client-side.
