COM Object Returning Recordset
This article has two parts. First how to develop a COM object which returns recordsets, and second part is an ASP client which let you use the object.
Use the following steps to implement a method that returns a recordset from a Visual C++ COM object to Active Server Pages.
Create an ATL DLL project called PassRs.
Insert an ATL object named PassRsObj.
Add a method with the following information:
Method Name: TestMethod
Parameters : [out, retval] LPDISPATCH* ppRecordset
Include the following line in the object's implementation file:
#import "msado15.dll" no_namespace rename("EOF", "adoEOF")
Implement the method as follows:
STDMETHODIMP CPassRsObj::TestMethod(LPDISPATCH *ppRecordset )
{
_ConnectionPtr pConn;
_RecordsetPtr pRs;
pConn.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Connection));
pRs.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Recordset));
pConn->Open("DSN=pubs;uid=sa;pwd=;", (BSTR) NULL, (BSTR) NULL, -1);
//Client side cursor is required for disconnected recordsets
pRs->CursorLocation = adUseClient;
pRs->Open( "select * from authors",
pConn.GetInterfacePtr(),
adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic, -1);
// Disconnect the recordset
pRs->PutRefActiveConnection(NULL);
//Clone the recordset.
//NOTE: Recordset to be cloned must support bookmarks
pRs->Clone(adLockOptimistic)->QueryInterface(IID_IDispatch, (void**) ppRecordset);
pRs->Close();
pConn->Close();
pRs = NULL;
pConn = NULL;
return S_OK;
}
Create an ASP page with the following code:
<%
Dim rsTest, oTestPassRs
Set oTestPassRs = Server.CreateObject("PassRs.PassRsObj")
Set rsTest = oTestPassRs.TestMethod()
Do
Response.Write ( "Value in Record = " & rsTest(1) & "
" )
rsTest.MoveNext
Loop until rsTest.EOF
rsTest.Close
Set rsTest = Nothing
Set oTestPassRs = Nothing
%>
