Creating a Collection Variable ??

[Manohar Kamath [MVP]]

Not with VBScript, but you can use an Array to hold the elements.

Set tbl = New Site_Table

tbl.Table_Align = "center"
tbl.Table_Border = "0"
tbl.Table_Width = "90%"
tbl.Table_Name = "mail"
tbl.Table_Data_Source = rs

Session.Contents.Item("Table") = tbl

If I do This: I get this error:

Session object, ASP 0185 (0x80020003)
A default property was not found for the object.
/connect/admin/mail_table.inc, line 23


If I do this:

arrTable(0) = tbl

I get this error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01B6)
Object doesn't support this property or method
/connect/admin/mail_table.inc, line 16

Can Anyone see another approach that will work !!!

By using Session("Table") = tbl you are trying to store a
value so it assumes you mean a property of tbl such as

Session("Table") = tbl.Table_Name

But as you did not provide a property (.something) it
assumes you mean the default property, but you have not
flagged anything as being the default property so it
doesn't know what to add to the Session.

If you want tbl itself stored, as an object, then you use
Set

Set Session("Table") = tbl

Note, however, that you can't store VB Classes in the
Session.

Is their any way i can store vb classes in a variable so i can interate
through it like a collection.

Can it be done with an array some how ?

Try a Scripting.Dictionary object.

However, some of this thread shows an attempt to put the objects into a
session variable. It is my understanding (could be wrong) that script
objects cannot be stored in session variables and go out of scope when the
ASP page ends.
