Hi,
I am trying to use component developed in Vb.What I am doing is : -
1.I am developing an Activex Dll named "Book.dll".This Book.Dll has a class named "item".This class has a function named "show()".

Public function Show()
show="hello Joy"
end function

I am trying to use this component in asp.I am writing
Dim obj
set obj=Server.Createobject("Book.Item")
reponse.write(obj.show())
but this is giving an error.....
The error is permission denied to this component.I can't make out what is going wrong.Plz help me...
Thanks in Advance,
Joydeep

so..
you designed the DLL.

are you trying to use this on your own machine (VB Scripting or as a webpage) or are you trying to use this on a website that you have and it is hosted on someone elses servers ?

if you are tring to use it on a website hosted someplace else...
good luck.

the reason you are getting the error is because the DLL has to be registered and installed on the web server (just having it in the directory there is not good enough).

And the reason i say good luck is because most hosting companies (including us) will not install custom DLL's

Hi

Even to run the ASP Page on your local system where you have made the VB DLL you need to register the DLL.

Use this,
Start - Run - regsvr32 (Space)(Physical Path Of the DLL) - Enter

I think I am doing all the things right,I have registered them also.Its working fine through vb when I am using the Dll in vb.But when I am using it in asp

dim obj
set obj=server.createobject("Book.item")
its showing a error that permission is denied for the component.I can't make out whats going wrong.
Plz comment.
Thanks!!
