Accessing a DLL using Server.CreateObject()

[jmatte]

Hello, I am fairly new to ASP so any help is appreciated.

I would like to access a DLL that I created using an ASP page. My code is:

'Declare object
Dim objConn

'Set object to DLL Name and Class
Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("DataUtilityDLL.cClass&quot

'Pass in parameters to DLL Method and retrieve back the # of rows added to database
Set intRows = objConn.addnew(param1, param2)

My DLL connects to an instance of a SQL Server Database using ADO.

When I test this using a form from VB it works but somehow when I try to access the DLL from ASP it doesn't.

Thank you in advance.

ASP uses only Variants so your DLL must have en entry point that accepts variants and if a function, returns a variant.

Also, if you want to pass an array, do not define it as
Dim myArray() because that is an array (first) of variants. You want a variant (first) that then contains an array. There is a difference.
Dim Myarray

Redim MyArray(6)

On the VB side, receive the array without ()
Public Sub FromASP(Myarray)
