Option Explicit in .wsf and .asp files
in [VbScript]
|
From: Michael Larsen on 4 Mar 2010 08:39 Hi I have a number of .vbs files in the following format: C1.vbs: Option Explict Class clsC1 End Class I can include these files in a .wsf file like this: <package> <job> <script language="VBScript" src="C1.vbs"/> <script language="VBScript" src="C2.vbs"/> </job> </package> I also want to include the same files in an .asp file like this: <script language="VBScript" runat="SERVER" src="C1.vbs"></script> <script language="VBScript" runat="SERVER" src="C2.vbs"></script> However, this fails because of the repeated Option Explicit Statements. I can remove each Option Explicit statement from the .vbs files and add <% Option Explicit%> to the .asp file, but then Option Explicit is not working in the .wsf file. Is there a way that I can include the same .vbs files in a .wsf and .asp file and having Option Explicit working in both? Regards, Michael Larsen

If you are including code to define classes, presumably you would have debugged them individually. Once free of the bugs of spelling a variable name incorrectly or using an undefined variable, option explicit is not doing anything for you. I'd say just leave it out. Of course, if your code is executing code built at run-time, you might require option explicit. /Al

Ummmm ... I don't know. You'll need to ask the OP. :-) Or is this one of the cases where your newsreader failed to pick up the original post, forcing you to reply to me? But it is a valid question. Oprion Explicit is only really needed while the code is being written and debugged, as you say. -- Microsoft MVP - ASP/ASP.NET - 2004-2007 Please reply to the newsgroup.

I'm thinking that Option Explicit is really needed as long as the possibility exists that it may catch an error. I suppose it is no longer needed then the code is retired. -Paul Randall |
