asp_web_howto thread: API

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to call the windows API from ASP
without wrapping the call in a COM object. I want to know if there is any
way to define the API function within ASP and call it directly. I am
assuming not, but wanted to ask your opinions...
Thanks
Shaun

I would guess the answer is 'No' since Declare is not defined in
VBScript...or Javascript. Also, since data values passed to/from
Windows API's are strongly typed...and VBScript only supports
Variants, it would be impossible(?) to transfer values.

It has been a while, and I can't remember where I saw it, but it can be
done by using a "roundabout" method. You can use a server side executable
that is called through VBScript passing to the executable the function name
and variables. The executable performs the conversions of data types and
executes the API. It is not quite as good as calling the API itself
through VBScript (still not sure if it can be done), but close. Some
performance limitations on a site taking some hits as well. Just a
thought...
