.NET Class in ASP 3.0

[Richard Cook]

Hello,

Is it possible to instantiate a .NET Class (DLL) in the
classic ASP 3.0?

Thanks in advance!

 

[Peter Rilling]

Yes and no. The engine that processes ASP pages does not understand .NET,
so you cannot directly use .NET object. You can, however, create COM+
objects in .NET and expose the functionality through to the ASP page. Those
objects would be used just like any other COM object like the
FileSystemObject.

No, APS 3.0 means NT4, and COM+ is W2K or higher.
MTS (NT4) cannot accomodate .NET ComponentServices.

I thought ASP3 was what came with Windows 2000? At any rate, I don't think
COM+ is really needed, just simple COM interop.

Michael,

My bad, asp 3.0 = IIS5 = W2K. Sorry for the mis-information.
And sure you don't need COM+ for this, just expose your .NET classes as COM
objects.
Willy.
