COM objects on ASP communicating with running prog

Sam Nilss #1 / 4	COM objects on ASP communicating with running prog Hello! I have little problem... I need to run a conversion utility on a web server. This works fine when logged on interactively, but not as a service. I have an idea on how to solve this, but not all the knowledge needed. Can someone help me with the details? Two components: 1. An ActiveX-Exe running on the server 2. An ActiveX-Dll called on an ASP-page The Dll is created set myobj=server.createobject("x.x") and called with myobj.Convert param1,param2,param3 The Convert-call raises an event in the running instance ActiveX-Exe on the server which does what it's supposed to do. Is this feasible? /Sam

Bil #2 / 4	COM objects on ASP communicating with running prog The Convert method needs to create an instance of the object in the activeX EXE using the WithEvents keyword and then use the RaiseEvent function to raise the event. Read up on these two features. VB6 came with a sample project named Coffee that shows how this works.

Sam Nilss #3 / 4	COM objects on ASP communicating with running prog I have studied that example and I think I understand it. But (there's always a but) in that case the Monitor object was created by the Watcher program. In my case the "Monitor equivalent" is started from another process. How does the Watcher know what to listen for then? /Sam Quote: > The Convert method needs to create an instance of the object in the > activeX EXE using the WithEvents keyword and then use the RaiseEvent > function to raise the event.

MVP for II #4 / 4	COM objects on ASP communicating with running prog you should not run such architecture because VB activex exes were not made for ASP but for client-server solutions... You'll get threading and performance issues Ask more about it at the ASP section... -- Egbert Nierop Session management for webfarms: http://www.nieropwebconsult.nl/asp_session_manager.htm Quote: > Hello! > I have little problem... > I need to run a conversion utility on a web server.
