ASP Type Library and more

[Karl Blessing]

I need to know two things

1) How do I setup the code so that the dll itself can behave as a page, rather than needing a *.asp to create an instance of it and run, because I have seen this done before, especially with CGI. This is the code I have thus far, but all it helps explain it how to obtain the ASP context from the ASP page that the ActiveX dll/ocx was created in.

[tt]
Dim Request As ASPTypeLibrary.Request
Dim Response As ASPTypeLibrary.Response
Dim Server As ASPTypeLibrary.Server
Dim Session As ASPTypeLibrary.Session
Dim Application As ASPTypeLibrary.Application

Private Sub Class_Initialize()
Dim AspSC As ASPTypeLibrary.ScriptingContext
Set AspSC = GetObjectContext
Set Request = AspSC.Request
Set Response = AspSC.Response
Set Server = AspSC.Server
Set Session = AspSC.Session
Set Application = AspSC.Application
End Sub
[/tt]

-------------------------------------------------------
The second question is a stumper for me, but how do I make it possible to return the binary data itself from an image in a picturebox even if raw bitmap, because I certainly cannot seem to figure out how to return a picturebox's image from an activeX control, to the ASP calling it so that I can do a response.binarywrite, for example I Want to do something like so in ASP calling the object asking it to return the binary data in the picturebox it generated behind the scenes.

[tt]
....
Response.ContentType = "image/bmp"
Response.binaryWrite obj.pwImage
...
[/tt]

it would be nice however if I could do the above in the same manner that I wanted to do with the solution for #1 , so that I can call it direct like

http://www.somdomain.com/test.dll?someinfo=somedata

and expect the return content to be treated as an image.

any help will be greatly appreciated since both topics (binary info out of a activeX, and using activeX as a page) were very very lightly documented in my search.

just a note, I understand returns from a picturebox may be very large for the internet due to it being a bitmap and all, but I intend to take this one step at a time and not worry about that just at this moment Karl Blessing aka kb244{fastHACK}
