vbscript, Don't understand 'Set'

Don't understand 'Set'

Author	Message
Joe Fawcet #1 / 6	Don't understand 'Set' If I'm using msxml2.XSLTemplate I can createProcessor and retrieve an IXSLProcessor that has input and output properties. If I want to set the output to write to the Response object from ASP according to the Microsoft examples I write: xslProc.output = Response xslProc.transform() Why don't I have to write: Set xslProc.output = Response xslProc.transform() Joe

Han #2 / 6	Don't understand 'Set' Set for property? I've not yet seen such syntax. /output/ property wants stream object. We simply feed it. Coffee or something may be more helpful than my reply ;) -- Han Pohwan, Microsoft MVP, Seoul, Korea Mail with any alphabets in the title will be removed. Use only numbers.

How do you assign an adodb.connection to a command object's activeConnection in VBScript? Joe

Seriously... <g> It looks to me like it behaves like an object, but in reality you aren't setting a reference to anything. You are if anything apparently connecting two object interfaces, and are not using any un-set variables to do it. -- Please respond in the newsgroup so everyone may benefit. http://dev.remotenetworktechnology.com ---------- Subscribe to Microsoft's Security Bulletins: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/notify.asp

Han #5 / 6	Don't understand 'Set' /set/ statement is not needed to assign an adodb.connection to a command's activeConnection. I think you can try it yourself. I remember that had been discussed in ADO group. However I was wrong because MSDN I just refered is defining /set/ as /assign object reference to a variable or a property/. Official or something. -- Han Pohwan, Microsoft MVP, Seoul, Korea Mail with any alphabets in the title will be removed. Use only numbers. Quote: > > Set for property?

You have the same odd, unintuitive syntax for assigning domdocument.onreadystatechange = GetRef("myVBScriptHandler") xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = GetRef("myVBScriptHandler") that works only if you omit the Set... -- Michael Harris Microsoft.MVP.Scripting Seattle WA US
