DLLs, Functions & ASP

[rlb_wpg]

I want to create a dll with public functions to be used in
ASP pages. Similar to the way regular vbscript functions are used. Ie. Date1 = FormatDateTime(Date2, 2)

I would like to create my own function -- for example,
FormatString -- and call it from an ASP page.
To avoid the obvious question: I want to use VB not VBscript and I want it to be compiled code (in hopes of having it run faster).

I've been trying but to no avail.

Thanks in advance

Create an ActiveX dll with your function as a public method of a class within.

On the web server:
Register the DLL

On the web page:
Dim an object variable
Set a reference to your dll
call it's methods and use it's properties.

Dim objMyDLL
Dim strBlah

Set objMyDLL = Server.CreateObject("MyDLL.MyClass")

strBlah = objMyDLL.MyFunction(strBlah)

'Clean up when done...
Set objMyDLL = Nothing
