ADO.NET in classic ASP?

[jason]

can ADO.NET be used in classic ASP? that is to say: is it made
available through COM Interop, or would i have to wrap ADO.NET objects
in a COM Interop class library myself?

if ADO.NET objects are available in COM already, what is the namespace
used to instantiate them?

thanks for any help,

jason

You likely could (see the "regasm" tool) but I'm not sure it's worth. I've
done this once to register a small image component using .NET. If your goal
is to use .NET at a quite broad scale I would rather consider using ASP.NET.

our eventual goal is to convert to ASP.NET, but in the meantime we have
a classic ASP website that needs to make use of .NET class libraries we
are developing, and i'm not sure the appropriate way to get datasets
from a .NET class library to ASP classic.

do you know if .NET plays nicely with classic ADO objects? if so, i
suppose i could always retrofit the class libraries with ADO classic
until the ASP is converted to ASP.NET
