Using Eval to set dynamic object names

I've ran into a little trouble with Eval, hoping someone can point it
out to me

This code works :

var_ktml = "textarea2"
Set ktml_textarea2 = new ktml4
Eval("ktml_" & var_ktml).Init var_ktml

This code doesn't :

var_ktml = "textarea2"
Set Eval("ktml_" & var_ktml) = new ktml4
Eval("ktml_" & var_ktml).Init var_ktml
Can anyone point out the error of my ways ?

Cheers,
Mark

Simple, stop using Eval.

Use an array or even Scripting.Dicti onary to collect and lookup objects

Sure. You see that line that starts with "Eval ... "? That's the problem
right there*.
Try this instead:

dim var_ktml,ktml_o bjs, ktml_obj
set ktml_objs = createobject("s cripting.dictio nary")
var_ktml = "textarea2"
Set ktml_obj = new ktml4
ktml_objs.Item( "ktml_" & var_ktml) = ktml_obj
When you want to use the object:

Set ktml_obj = ktml_objs.Item( "ktml_" & var_ktml)
ktml_obj.Init var_ktml
ktml_objs.Item( "ktml_" & var_ktml) = ktml_obj

I have some complex logic which is fairly simply to build up into a string. I needed a way to Eval this string and return a Boolean result. This code works fine to achieve that goal. My question is what happens to the dynamically created assembly when the method is done running? Does GC take care of it? Or is it stuck in RAM until the ASP.Net process is recycled? This code executes pretty frequently (maybe 4 times per transaction) and...

Can anyone explain me why you need to add open and close parenthesis to a JSON text in order to use eval() to parse it? For example: var json = "{a: 'abc', b: 'def'}"; var obj1 = eval("(" + json + ")"); //ok! var obj2 = eval(json); //syntax error! why are parenthesis necessary?

I have a problem. I'm writing a simulation program with a number of mechanical components represented as objects. When I create instances of objects, I need to reference (link) each object to the objects upstream and downstream of it, i.e. supply = supply() compressor = compressor(downstream=combustor, upstream=supply) combuster = combuster(downstream=turbine, upstream=compressor) etc.
