Server.CreateObject Parameters

[BlindMonk]

Hey all,
The company I work for has just purchased some accounting software with an ecommerce package bundled in. The website uses ASP and MSSQL running on IIS on a 2000 machine.
My job is to make some changes to the site, but I can’t do that unless I understand what is happening.
I have been chasing variables around and came across a line:

Set objShoppingCart = Server.CreateObject("eShoppingCart.boShoppingCart")

My question is how do I know what eShoppingCart.boShoppingCart is and what it does. There are other lines like that and it would really make my job simpler if I could figure out what their exact function is.
Regards,
Warren

That's creating an object that accesses the properties of the eShoppingCart dll that must be registered on the server.

Thanks for the quick responce.
Is their any way to tell what eShoppingCart.dll does? I still don't know what properties are being given to objShoppingCart besides that they are from eShoppingCart.dll.

Without the source code to the dll, skill at reading decompiled code (which may violate your license), or assistance from the original company the best your going to be able to do is track the calls in your code tat reference that objShoppingCart object.
You may be able to import it into a Visual Studio project (VB, etc). It is possible that will allow you to see what properties/functions/etc are available, though I don't know how descriptive the names will be (and thus whether it would help to know them or not).
