com+ dll runtime error - what am I doing wrong?

[jvbd02]

Hi

Have an unspectacular asp script

	set obj=Server.CreateObject("MyWeb_dll.clsUser")
	obj.StartCom
	set obj = nothing

and this in clsUser in the dll (ripped off from the internet)

Public Sub StartCom()

    Dim objContext As ObjectContext
    Dim objResponse As Response
    Dim objRequest  As Request
    Dim objApplication  As Application
    Dim objSession As Session
    Set objContext = GetObjectContext()
        
    Set objApplication = objContext("Application") 'Obtain ASP Application object.
    Set objSession = objContext("Session") 'Obtain ASP Session object.
    Set objResponse = objContext("Response") ' Obtain ASP Response object.
    Set objRequest = objContext("Request")   ' Obtain ASP Request  object.

    'This code uses the Response object (objResponse);
    'you can use other intrinsic objects in a similar fashion.
    objResponse.Write "Hello World!"
        
End Sub

It errors when the code gets as far as setting objApplication. 91, object variable or with blobk variable not set. I've set references to MS ASP Object library and Com+ service type library. What am I not doing right? I am only debugging at the mo so haven't registered any compiled dll with the Component Services - is this where I could be going wrong? Could it be an IIS setting?

Help!

Sussed it - set MTSTransactionMode to something other than 0.

HI Guys

I am facing Similar problem . Setting class Transaction mode property to any other value does not solve the purpose. Pls help.

Hi

What error are you getting and where? Same as I described above??

Cheers

If all fails just pass the response, session, and application object to your dll, but remember to clean up all the references explicitly.

But I would try registering the component with COM+ services first before changing your DLL design.
