Hello,
I have a .NET class that I want to call from an ASP page. I did everything
they way it is described in
http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/nettocom.asp?select=1005526&df=100&forumid=140
76&msg=1005526

Here's my ASP code:
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
set obj=server.CreateObject("namespace.classname")
obj.mySubmit(Request)
%>

This code generates the error: "Class doesn't support Automation" .
Note: the mySubmit class expects a HttpRequest as input parameter.

If I try to call obj.OrderSubmit("123") (with a wrong input parameter), I
get the error: "Invalid procedure call or argument".

So I'm not really sure what is the problem. Is something wrong with the way
I'm registering the .NET class, or maybe the Request object from ASP is not
exactly the same as the HttpRequest object from ASP.NET, or maybe something
else?

Thank you in advance

I tried to create another simple method in the same class. It accespts an int
and returns the value of the int.ToString(). This methos works when accessed
from classic ASP.
So I guess the class is properly registered and the problem is the input
parameter which is Request ?? I'd appreciate any ideas about how to overcome
this problem.

Thans again.

Automation objects have a limited list of paramater types, and Request isn't
one of them by the look of it....

If the parameter doesn't map to a Variant, you can't pass it. There's a list
in here, scroll down, legacy types.

Thank you, Phil,
I was affraid that something like this will happend and it did :(.
I guess the same thing applies even if I would use server side JavaScript
instead of VBScript?

Thanks again.

That's true, the same general limitation.
