OBJECT: Class
Implemented
in version 5.0
The term, Class, refers to any object that you create
using the Class ... End Class statement. This ability
to create your own object and to perform operations upon it
using any valid VBScript code, represents a significant expansion
of the versatility of the VBScript language.
Note that Class is a keyword and you may not use it
as a class name.
The following
example creates a simple Class, 'User', that has
a single property, 'UserName', and one method, 'DisplayUserName'.
Code:
<%
Class User
' declare private class variable
Private m_userName
' declare the property
Public Property Get UserName
UserName = m_userName
End Property
Public Property Let UserName (strUserName)
m_userName = strUserName
End Property
' declare and define the method
Sub DisplayUserName
Response.Write UserName
End Sub
End Class
%>
After you have declared
your Class, then, as demonstrated below, you may
create an instance of that Class (i.e., object) using
Set and New.
Code:
<%
Dim objUser
Set objUser = New User
' set the UserName property
objUser.UserName = "The Guru"
' call the DisplayUserName method
' to print the user name
objUser.DisplayUserName
%>
Output:
"The Guru"
