Classic ASP Equivalent to Reflection

[dcusick]

Hey all.. I was wondering if anyone happened to know of a way to simulate Reflection in Classic ASP... Basically, I have a COM DLL with a bunch of properties.. There are 7 of those properties which I am interested in, Option1, Option2, Option3, etc..

I would like to be able to access those properties inside a FOR loop. I have a similar page in .NET and implemented Reflection in order to solve this issue.

I tried to use the Execute command, but it doesn't grab the value. I used the following code:

dim varName
dim i

for i = 1 to 7
   varName = Execute("comDLL.Option" & i)
   response.write (varName)
next

This wrote out nothing to the screen. However if I response.write(comDLL.Option1), that returns the value. Any ideas on how I can approach this?

Hey.. After hours of trying different things, I finally figured out how to get this working.. Figured I'd post the answer, in case any one else was looking.. Basically needed to assign the dynamic variable to a variable first, before printing it out... Thanks to anyone that might have looked into this.

dim varName
dim varName2
dim i

for i = 1 to 7
  varName = "comDLL.Option"&i)
  Call Execute("varName2 = " & varName)
  Response.Write(varname2)
next
