Make a DLL

[Mikael]

Hello,

How can I make a ASP-file to a .DLL?
The idea is to protect the source from others who use the same IIS.
Can I make a ASP-file that calls a .DLL - file with all functionality, or
how does it work?

If you could point me in the right direction I would be happy.

Regards,

/Mikael S

Do you know VB or any other language that will let your create components?
You can make a whole site out of nothing but compiled components if you
like. It's a bit challenging, but you can do it. OWA 2000 is a nice
inspiration for that.

In Delphi 5, File/New -> Web Server Application creates an ISAPI application
(for IIS), NSAPI application (similar for Netscape Server) or CGI
application. You do not need a Microsoft compiler.

I recommended ISAPI. A CGI application can be compiled on an even wider
range of compilers, but basically it's a command line thing and you have to
parse the HTTP request and provide the HTTP response including all headers
yourself.

Delphi 7 has many more options, including the option, I believe, of creating
a .Net web service if you also get an additional beta version plug-in.
Delphi 8 has, I believe, .Net support built-in. Again, there is no longer a
need for a Microsoft compiler.

Of course, this is not really "making an ASP into a DLL", it is rewriting
your code.
