VBScript and Classes

[CiberTHuG]

Okay, I'm sick of huge arrays in my ASPs, so...

VBScript doesn't support hash tables (associative arrays). It doesn't support structs (UDTs). It doesn't support classes? Is there any way to build a congregate data type in VBScript?

client or server side?

[CiberTHuG]

Well, its ASP, so it is server-side. Also, since VBScript is not a client side standard, I don't support it. ;)

But... I'm getting ready to use PerlScript for my ASPs. Now I will truelly have power. No more POS VBScript holding me back. Time to lace up your boots boys, it's ass kickin' time.

Try looking at Wscript Components: These are basically oca files that are written in vbscript. They use an xml/vbscript format, but they are really easy to use, and allow you to provide class and property support to vbscript.

Hope this helps.

VBScript does support classes...

[CiberTHuG]

Not that it matters terribly, but can you elaborate, Monte? I looked at MSDN ('http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/default.htm?/scripting/vbscript/default.htm') and didn't find anything. Not that it isn't there, I just didn't find it.

Okay... you are starting to rain on my parade.

Can I use anonymous variables or pointers in VBScript?
