Server.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

[jakyra]

I've been away from ASP for a while and I never used this much anyway. Can the item be an object or does it have to be a string?

For example, could I do this:

Code: Select all

<%
  set myStuff = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
  set myUser = new UserClass
   myUser.init ("Joe", "Schmoe", "red")
  myStuff.add "user", myUser

I'm guessing not, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Thanks

Short and simple: It can be an object, but not the way you coded it.
You must use the 'Set' statement and the Dictionary object's default property.

Code: Select all

<%
  set myStuff = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
  set myUser = new UserClass
  myUser.init ("Joe", "Schmoe", "red")
  'myStuff.add "user", myUser
  Set myStuff("user") = myUser
