DLL' & ASP

Not sure if this is the place to post this but here goes:

Is it possible to convert an asp page to a DLL?? If so, can someone point me to where I can get this information. Also, if this can be done, how do I get it on the remote server, LIKE DNN, and not have to register them? Then, what code would be needed to have code on an asp page access the DLL??

If this is not the right forum to post this, would the moderators please put it in the correct forum, thanks.. and let me know where you sent me to

Usually you'd have to pay for some software to do this; however, Here is the site for a freebie

THANKS!! It looks like just what I am looking for...

No problem, glad I could help

I am in need of some other questions concerning the use of DLL's on a website would you be able to help or steer me in the right direction?

Thanks,

What kind of question(s) do you have in mind?

Well... like with DotNetNuke, all you do is place the DLL on the server and make calls to it, would it be the same using the DLL's with ASP?

What type of requirements would the host have to have for your site to be able to use the DLL's? Would a basic ASP site be able to use the DLL's?

What would the code look like to make the calls to teh DLL's?

Hope that is not to many questions, just have never used DLL's, especially with ASP files, but could see a real use for them..

Thanks for your quick replies....

1. Making a call to a dll will be something like: YourVar = Server.CreateObject("YourDLLName.YourDllMethod")
2. As far as the dll being on a web host, you'd have to convince your webhost to register your dll.
All Dlls have to be registered on the server so that you can make calls from it.
3. Once the DLL is installed by the web host, it can be used in any asp script like described on 1. above

But then How does DotNetNuke do it? You install a module and it works right off the bat. The host has not registered anything but they work right after installing them.

Thanks for the info..
