Generic VB Component Building Steps
Making a VB ASP component is easy:
Use File; New Project
choose Active-X DLL
You will now be in the editor and there will
be a class open
when you are done, the code to invoke it on
a page will look like:
set .... =
server.createobject("projectname.classname")
choose your project plus class names well.
The project name and class name are set with
the (name) property. They are NOT in anyway connected to the filename although you may
make the filenames match the project and class names.
If you need to use one of the five built-in
ASP objects (collectively called the scripting context) you can add a special event to
your class called OnStartPage. Anytime your component is created from an ASP script, ASP
will call your OnStartPage if it exists within your class. OnStartPage allows you to
assign the built-in ASP objects (response, request, server, application, session) to
objects in your code:
Public Function onstartpage(sc As Object)
'Set ... = sc.response()
'set ... = sc.server()
'set ... = sc.Request()
'set ... = sc.application()
'set ... = sc.session()
End Function
Public Function onendpage(sc As Object)
End Function
