Can VB do...? 1

[SCelia]

Can you create a CGI application in VB? i.e is it possible to create a visual basic script and submit an html form to it just like you would to a perl/php cgi script? Celia

These are two different questions. VB is quite something different from VBScript! In VB6, it is possible to write a "webclass", which is a DLL that performs CGI tasks.

Dear Scelia,
Yes it is possible to write CGS code and VBScript code in VB6.To do :

1-Open a new project in vb.
2-Add a new module ti this project and remove its form.
3-Now you can write your CGI or VBS code in its module and save the project with module.
4-Finaly make your .exe project.

You can use this .exe file. I hope this will be usefull for you.

Thanks guys I found a CGI library for VB at:

http://www-informatics.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/CGIProgramming/cgi32.bas

it's probably not the best one, but it will work, but now how do I "include" it in a VB program so I can use the functions and subs in it? Celia
