[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.

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 UsrBrowseContent 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.AdmEnumerateDomains())?

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 dictionaryobject) in asp page.

Thanks,
Anu
