VB ASP Component Building Guidelines
by Charles Carroll
Component written in Visual Basic can be written using
programming techniques that will cause them to be unstable in a web server environment.
Commands, Functions and Objects that are fine in most standalone or client/server VB
programs may not be appropriate in a web server component. We offer the following major
guidelines:
- Do not use DAO or RDO for data access. Use ADO only. DAO and
RDO do not scale to the concurrency issues a website faces well.
- Do not use traditional file access methods (Open #, Close #).
Instead use the scripting FileSystemObject.
