Server.CreateObject vs "New" Object

[BG12424]

I have a situation with existing code in classic ASP where a previous developer instantiated multiple instances of an object to be used in the web page. See code below

Set objRO = Server.CreateObject("SampleObj.ClassNameHere")
Set objRO1 = Server.CreateObject("SampleObj.ClassNameHere")
Set objAuth = Server.CreateObject("SampleObj.ClassNameHere")

Could this be accomplished in a better way by doing this instead? See below

Set objRO = Server.CreateObject("SampleObj.ClassNameHere")
Set rs1 = New objRO
Set rs2 = New objRO
Set rsAuth = New objRO

Please advise... Thanks

That makes no sense in any programming language i am familiar with. However since it is Visual Basic Script it just might work They do all sorts of crazy stuff in VB.

Thanks Pete, aka "Paul"

What makes sense then? Should the 2nd part be better to do, or does that not make sense either? How would this be handled?

Oh, sorry for the confusion i was speaking only to the second example you posted. The first example, using Server.CreateObject() for each object of course makes sense because that's how you do it.

huh? Why do you want me to be Paul and who is Paul?

Pete, the aka was a joke from awhile ago when you emailed me directly. Sorry.

I was just wondering if there was a better way to instantiate the same object 3 times. If this is the only way to do it then that's fine.

Not when your talking about 3 seperate instances of the same COM Object. And in fact in any environment, i.e. C++ it is similar.

Well New Keyword works well when u have added refrence of that object in ur application.

otherwise u have to say createobject("ProgID&quot

Your mixing vb and vb script.
Server.createobject is ASP, thus vbscript (unless you are talking about ASP.Net

classic ASP you can't use NEW as vbs is not typed thus all objects are held in varient. I think you'll see that if you use NEW your ASP will crash. So its simple use Server.createObject.
