All Statements
Class Object
STATEMENT: Class
Implemented in version 5.0
Class ... End Class
The
Class
statement block is used to create a
Class
object. You can only create (name) one
Class
object with each
Class
statement. This ability to create your own
Class
is a significant expansion of the usefulness of the VBScript language.
Within the block of the
Class
statement you can declare the members of the class, which are variables, methods, and properties. Methods of the class are implemented by defining a
Sub
or
Function
procedure, while properties are defined through the use of
Property Get
,
Property Let
, and
Property Set
statements. Any member of a class may be declared as either
Public
or
Private
, with a
Public
declaration being the default state.
Private
members of a class are only accessable by other members of the same class, while
Public
members are accessable by anything, inside or outside of the scope of the class.
The
Class
statement must always end with an
End Class
.
Example:
<%
Class DevGuruProducts
 
' Creating a private property using Get, Let, Set
Private mstrName
 
' Get
Public Property Get CustomerName()
CustomerName = mstrName
End Property
 
' Let
Public Property Let CustomerName(strName)
mstrName = strName
End Property
 
' Set
Public Property Set Guru(objGuru)
Private mobjGuru
Set mobjGuru = objGuru
End Property
 
' Creating a private method using a function
Private Function DevGuruProductName(intProduct)
Select Case intProduct
Case 1
DevGuruProductName = "dgCharge"
Case 2
DevGuruProductName = "dgList"
Case 3
DevGuruProductName = "dgReport"
End Function
End Class
