I am using VBScript writing ASP code. I am wondering whether VBScript is an object-oriented programming language.

No, not really. It's component-based, which means that some aspects of OO are covered, but by no means all. So you can create objects from classes and to a certain extent you can even create classes in VBScript, but the full extent of OO (inheritance, polymorphism) are not available in the way that they are in C++ or Java.

HTH,

Mike
 
Mike, thanks for your response.

Can I see that VBScript has the same OO capability as Visual Basic or Visual Basic for Application?
