Another port, this time from the VBScript and ASP version to C# and ASP.NET. Only took a few hours to port and test. Maybe the next version will actually use some of the new functionality available in ASP.NET.

Added a feature from the original Minesweeper that I had never bothered to implement. That was that the first square you select will not contain a bomb. Because of the way this works I have added a new rule so that the most mines you can have in a game is 3 less than the number of squares. This way it is very hard to play a full square over and over again until you guessed the only safe square.

Fixed a couple of bugs that found their way in when I ported the code from c++ to VBScript. Some of the squares on the edges near the bottom weren't getting counted correctly.

I haven't had much of a presence on the web for a few years. Never had a host. Now I found a free one. So I can bring WebMines back.

Set myself the goal of porting Webmines from a c++ cgi application to a VBScript ASP application in the quickest time possible. I set the timer running and got to it. It took me 12h20m to get it working which I thought was a pretty good effort. Because the game code of the original implementation was basically contained in a single class it was just a matter of modifying each routine in the class into a VBScript version. I didn't modify the design of my class or anything, just reimplemented it.

You can't cheat anymore! After a game is finished, you can't go back and then continue again.
