[AnuSumesh]

Hi All,

I have one dll written in c#. One of its methods return array of dictionary.
I want to call and use that method in ASP file.
I am using jscript in ASP.

my code is a s follows:

<%
var cls;
cls=new ActiveXObject("shareaccessanu.FileOperations");
var collection=cls.getdic();
Response.write("type of  collection "+typeof(collection));
%>

the output is "unknown" i.i typeof returns unknown

How can i use this?

The dll name is shareaccessanu and it contains 3 different classes named Fileoperations, Share. Sharecollection .
One of method of class Fileoperations returns array of class Share.
How to use all these methods in Jscript.

Plzzzz help me in above issues.
I ll be fired if i will not complete the project.
Its very urgent.

Thanks,
Anu

I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but my suggestion is abandon asp, do this whole thing in .NET - then referencing an outside .dll is built-in.

using C# dll methods in asp

Hi All,

I have created one dll in c# and using that dll in ASP programs. All dll methods are working fine ion ASP except one method that returns dictionary object.
When i am calling that method in asp (using jscript), its giving error "object unknown".

My asp code is as follows:

var cls=new ActiveXObject("shareaccessanu.FileOperations"); 
//shareaccessanu is dll name
var item=cls.UsrBrowseContent("D:\\Anu"); //method returns dictionary object
Response.write("typeof= "+typeof(item)); //return "unknown"

Can anyone please help me how can I use this method in ASP?
Plzzzzzzzz its urgent.

Thanks,
ANU

Anu,

1- Please don't double-post your questions. I have merged threads this time, but consider this a warning. Double posting is strictly prohibited by the Bytes site guidelines. Asking an expert to weigh in on a particular question that has gone unanswered is permitted.

2- Please write your words out. When I see "plzzzzz" in a post my first response is "this poster is so lazy he can't even be bothered to write out 'please'. Why should I help someone that lazy?" This is a common gripe among forum mods and experts, we will all be similarly annoyed by your posts.

3- I don't think any of us do what you are trying to do, the number of people who write asp is small enough, the number who write asp in javascript is a small fraction of that, and the number who include custom dlls in a classic asp page is staggeringly low. Nevertheless, from your last post, I see that the error given says the object is unrecognized. Which line is giving this error? The new object line or the UsrBrowseConten t line?

Hello AnuSumesh,

Let’s see if we can figure this one out. Please post the code you’re using to call this method too. That might help out with finding a solution.

Hi
Thanks for considering my problem.

DLL method code is as follows:

public Dictionary<string, string> AdmEnumerateDomains()
        {
            Dictionary<string, string> dic = new Dictionary<string, string>();
            dic.Add("anu", "female");
            return dic;
        }

ASP code(using jscript)

//dll is shareaccessanu and class name is FileOperations
var cls;
cls=new ActiveXObject("shareaccessanu.FileOperations"); 

var collection=cls.AdmEnumerateDomains();
Response.write("type of "+typeof(collection)); // result is "unknown"

Thanks
Anu

Hello AnuSumesh,

With the help of a good friend of mine (thanks Mike!) I came up with this:

I ' m not sure what you're trying to get out of the typeof() operator.... it looks like it will only return six possible values: The typeof operator returns type information as a string. There are six possible values that typeof returns: "number," "string," "boolean," "object," "function," and "undefined. "

It seems, and I've not tested this so I may be wrong, that since you've already returned the method and cast it as a var, it wouldn't really know what type of object it is....

Can you do something like this? typeof(cls.AdmE numerateDomains ())?

I would guess that doing that would return object, but I ' m not sure how helpful that is to you.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. Kind of a goofy setup (C# dll being used by Jscript via a Classic ASP page).

[AnuSumesh]

Thanks a lot.

I have tried your option also but its also giving output "UNKNOWN".

Actually i want to call this method(returns dictionaryobjec t) in asp page.

Thanks,
Anu
