Execute |

To create a COM object on Windows Embedded CE–based ASP, use the scripting language support for creating COM objects, instead of the Server.CreateObject method, as you would using IIS-based ASP.
In JScript, the following code would create the object of type class.name.
<% var newObject = new ActiveXObject("class.name") %>
To perform the same operation using VBScript, use the following code.
<%
dim newObject
set newObject = CreateObject("class.name")
%>
There is no explicit need to delete COM objects that are created on ASP pages. This is unlike needs associated with using JScript or VBScript. ASP automatically deletes all COM objects that are created on ASP pages. For more information on ASP and the caching of DLLs, see Initial Settings.
