SUMMARY
This step-by-step procedure demonstrates how to write a Component Object Model (COM) component for use within Active Server Pages (ASP).
back to the top
The COM Component for ASP
- Create a new ActiveX DLL project in Visual Basic.
- Name the project VBASPProject, and name the class VBASPClass.
Paste the following public method into the class module:
Public Function GetString() As String ' Return the string Hello World! GetString = "Hello World!" End Function- From the File menu, click Make VBASPProject.dll to compile the dynamic-link library (DLL).
In Notepad, create a new ASP file, and paste the following code:
<% set obj = Server.CreateObject("VBASPProject.VBASPClass") Response.Write obj.GetString %>- Save this ASP file in a virtual directory that is a Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) Web Application.
- In your Web browser, run the ASP page. The text, "Hello World!", is displayed.
