Accessing .NET assemblies from classic ASP/VBScript?

[joshbeall]

Hi All,

I'm wondering if there is any way to access .NET assemblies from
classic ASP/VBScript?

We have a legacy app that was written using classic ASP and VBScript,
and there's a new facility that one of our developers did in .NET that
we'd like to use with our legacy app. Specifically, we have an online
signup process that is a multi-page form written using classic ASP.
When the user finally completes the signup process, we'd like to
package up the form values and send them off to several objects that we
have defined in our new .NET DLL.

Any thoughts on how to do this?

Read up on the framework tools like tlbexp, tlbimp and the concept of COM
Interop. tlbexp will enable you to create COM compliant wrappers for your
..net assembly so you can call it from asp.

Hi Josh,

There's a good MSKB article about this:

IMO the simplest way will be creating aspx page that will receive form values, and then in the code behind it will invoke .NET objects and pass obtained info to them.

I thought of this solution, and I think it's what I'm going to wind up
doing; I was just wondering what the other options were.
