Take Away: Create a basic Class in ASP
 Tags: ASP , Classes

KB100304

Sometimes it is useful to create your own Classes and Objects (an instantiation of a class) in ASP, below is the basic code to create one.

Class Person 
	Public Function IntroduceYourself() 
	Response.Write("Hello, my name is " & Name & ", it's nice to meet you!") 
	End Function 
	Public Name 
End Class 

The above code declares a class. This class has one Public member - Name and one Public function - IntroduceYourself.

To use this class:

Set Adam = new Person		//Create Adam object using the Person class.
Adam.Name = "Adam" //Set Name property.
Adam.IntroduceYourself() //Call the IntroduceYourself method.

Set Adam = new Person creates an Object of type Person and assigns it to the variable name Adam. Adam.Name ="Adam" assigns the string "Adam" to the Adam-Person Object's Name attribute. Adam.IntroduceYourself calls the Adam-Person Objects IntroduceYourself function. The output of this little demo should politely say Hello, my name is Adam, it's nice to meet you!

Complete Example

Here is a complete example within a single HTML page. Notice I declared the class at the end of the HTML to show you that where you define your class is not important. Usually developers put classes into their own files.

<html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Introduce Yourself</h1>
<%
Set Adam = new Person //Create Adam object using the Person class.
Adam.Name = "Adam" //Set Name property.
Adam.IntroduceYourself() //Call the IntroduceYourself method.
%>
</body>
</html>
<%
Class Person
 Public Function IntroduceYourself()
  Response.Write("Hello, my name is " & Name & ", it's nice to meet you!")
 End Function
 
 Public Name
End Class
%>

2014 and I'm just getting into classes! Our site was build with Classic ASP and has grown since; in too deep to change now! My programming skills have evolved and I came to classes as a result of frustration at trying to pick my way through my old code. This super-simple example has got me up and running. Wish I'd found it years and years ago!

Thank you for having written it Adam, your post is still doing great service.
