Invalid Procedure Call or Arguement

[Matt]

I am receiving the following error from the simple script below. This works
fine from a .NET form but when I access the dll from a Classic ASP page it
fails.

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0005'

Invalid procedure call or argument: 'GetGroups'
Dim oUser 'As mnaSecurityUser
Dim oDBAdapter 'As mnasecurityDBAd apter
Dim group 'As mnasecurityGrou p

Set oUser = Server.CreateOb ject("mnaSecuri tyControl.mnase curityUser")
Set oDBAdapter =
Server.CreateOb ject("mnaSecuri tyControl.mnase curityDBAdapter ")

Set oUser = oDBAdapter.GetU ser("mamarsha")
'This works ok
Response.Write "'" & oUser.FirstName & "'"

'This line returns the error
Set oUser.Groups = oDBAdapter.GetG roups(oUser)

For each group in oUser.Groups
Response.Write "'" & group.name & "'"
Next

GetGroups is a method that accepts an mnasecurityUser object as a parameter.
Groups (in oUser.Groups) is a collection object property of the
mnasecurityUser object.

I have found the culprit but I am not sure why it worked in .NET ok but not
from an ASP page? The GetUsers function accepted a parameter of the type
mnasecurityUser object.

Public Function GetUsers(ByRef oUser as mnasecurityUser ) as
mnasecurityGrou ps

From my code I passed in oUser which was instantiated as a mnasecurityUser
object (see previous post for code)

I changed the function in my object to accept a UserID as an integer and
everything worked fine.

Public Function GetUsers(ByRef iUser As Integer) as mnasecurityGrou ps

From my Asp page I updated the following line of code

Set oUser.Groups = oDBAdpater.GetU sers(oUser)

to

Set oUser.Groups = oDBAdpater.GetU sers(oUser.ID)

Does anyone know why I can't pass an object as a parameter from an ASP page?
Or let me know what I did wrong in my ASP page when I was trying to pass the
object?

Thanks.

By 'parameter', I assume you mean argument.

You can pass objects to Subs and Functions in VBScript. What you can't do,
is declare the type for the Function / Sub argument.

No -
Public Function GetUsers(ByRef oUser as mnasecurityUser )

Yes -
Public Function GetUsers(ByRef oUser)

Oops! I didn't read your initial post.

Still pretty much the same answer.

Everything in VBScript is a variant, so, if I remember correctly, the args
in the dll's Subs / Functions need to be of type Variant.

Thanks Bob.

If I set the argument to VariantType in my function, how can I then access
the object properties in the function?

Thanks Bob.

If I set the argument to VariantType in my function, how can I then access
the object properties in the function?

Your real problem is the use of a ByRef. The only argument that VBScript
can pass byref is a variant.

Change the parameter to ByVal oUser as mnasecurityUser . You really should
use ByVal for most parameters anyway regardless of whether they are to be
called from script or not.
