Introducing Windows Script Components
Windows Script Components provide you with an easy way to create powerful, reusable COM components in script. You create script components using any scripting language that supports the Microsoft active scripting interfaces. Script languages that support these interfaces include JScript, Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript), PERLScript, PScript, and Python.
COM Support
This new script component technology supports common types of COM components, such as Automation, and is extensible with add-ons such as DHTML behaviors.
Script Components:
Are small and efficient.
Are easy to create, maintain, and deploy.
Provide the ability to create COM components.
Provide access to a broad range of system services.
Using script components, you can create COM components for a variety of tasks, such as performing middle-tier business logic, accessing and manipulating database data, adding transaction processing to applications, and adding interactive effects to a Web page using DHTML Behaviors.
