如何将参数从经典ASP传递到com组件

Question

I am developing an asp.net component that requires many parameters. It will be called from classic ASP. I can of course pass in 10-20 parameters, but I'd love to be a bit tidier.

I'm fairly confident I could pass in an array, but ideally I'd like to be able to pass in an object.

Is this possible?

I decided to do a little test. The Classic ASP:

Dim objDictionary
Set objDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

objDictionary.Add "startDate", startDate
objDictionary.Add "endDate", endDate

MyComponent.checkObj(objDictionary)

In my ASP.net component I have:

   public string checkObj(object config)
    {
        return "StartDate is " + config.startDate;
    }

Edit:

I have progressed the issue so I'm changing this: I created an abstract class and now it's checking against that and building perfectly. At run time I am now getting and error - Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Invalid procedure call or argument: 'checkObj' .

Is it possible to pass a collection into a com assembly?

Perhaps the problem is that the com component is receiving an object of type Scripting.Dictionary, and not the abstract class I created, but such a thing doesn't exist in .net?

Answer 1

you could try using a .net object in your asp page like System.Collections.ArrayList or System.Collections.Hashtable instead of that dictionary...

<%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>
<%
dim netObj    
set netObj = server.createobject("System.Collections.Hashtable")
' or:
'set netObj = server.createobject("System.Collections.ArrayList")
%>

that should make things easier in your .net component

I wanted to do something similar and so created a wrapper class for .NET DataRow. You could use a HasTable/Dictionairy/Other Custom Implementation as your backing store if you want.

I expose my "properties" using an Indexer Property on my wrapper object, so working with a property in asp-classic would look like this:

Dim lngCustomerId
lngCustomerID = CLng(objectWrapper("CustomerId"))

I expose my wrapper using a COM Registered .NET assembly. My wrapper inherits from DynamicObject and exposes the following by a COM visible interface:

[ComVisible(true)]
[Guid("XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX")]
[InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsDual)]
public interface IDynamicModel
{
    dynamic this[string propertyName] { get; set; }
    bool TryGetMember(GetMemberBinder binder, out object result);
    bool TrySetMember(SetMemberBinder binder, object value);
}

I would think that TryGetMember and TrySetMember will not be necessary for your needs.

My wrapper class implementation looks like this:

[ComVisible(true)]
[Guid("YYYYYYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYYYYYYYYYY")]
[ProgId("COMLIB.DynamicModel")]
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]
public sealed class DynamicModel : DynamicObject, IDynamicModel
{
    #region indexer

    public dynamic this[string propertyName]
    {
        get
        {
            dynamic propertyValue;
            if (TryGetMember(propertyName, out propertyValue) != true)
            {
                propertyValue = null;
            }
            return propertyValue;
        }
        set
        {
            if (TrySetMember(propertyName, value) != true)
            {
                throw new ArgumentException("Cannot set property value");
            }
        }
    }

        }
        return result;

I hope this helps.
