hi..

I have a statement that will call a Sub.

Charts(CurChartNo) = Server.CreateObject("ChartFX.WebServer")
Call InitChart()

Inside this sub,  I will assign values to the properties of the Charts object that is

Public Sub InitChart()
        Charts(CurChartNo).RGB2Dbk = &HC0FFFF&
        Charts(CurChartNo).Chart3D = False
        Charts(CurChartNo).MultipleColors = True
        Charts(CurChartNo).Charttype = 1
        Charts(CurChartNo).Border = True
        Charts(CurChartNo).AllowResize = False
        Charts(CurChartNo).AllowDrag = False
        Charts(CurChartNo).SerLegBox = True
        Charts(CurChartNo).Scrollable = True
        Charts(CurChartNo).MarkerSize = 3
    End Sub

But the Charts is not recognized in the Sub. This is current program under ASP, I am converting to ASP.Net.

Please advice.

Thank You.

Based on the object type you are using and the code you have, you will need to add a reference parameter of type object like so:

 Public Sub InitChart(ByRef Charts As Object)

...then when calling your Sub() (with your code) you would call it like this:

InitChart(Charts)

The other way to do this is to turn your Sub() into a function that takes the chart number parameter, but returns you a new object from the function directly like so:

Public Function InitChart(ByVal CurChartNo As Integer) As Object

'Check this object instantiation to make sure it is the way you are currently creating the object

Dim Charts As New Object
Charts(CurChartNo) = Server.CreateObject("ChartFX.WebServer") 
 
        Charts(CurChartNo).RGB2Dbk = &HC0FFFF&  
        Charts(CurChartNo).Chart3D = False 
        Charts(CurChartNo).MultipleColors = True 
        Charts(CurChartNo).Charttype = 1  
        Charts(CurChartNo).Border = True 
        Charts(CurChartNo).AllowResize = False 
        Charts(CurChartNo).AllowDrag = False 
        Charts(CurChartNo).SerLegBox = True 
        Charts(CurChartNo).Scrollable = True 
        Charts(CurChartNo).MarkerSize = 3  

Return Charts

    End Sub 

 Another way is to define the objects as Public.

Thanks.

I do not recommend making your objects public; that is typically a beginners methodology to make everything public because they do not understand the importance of object scope and why keeping the scope of the object minimal in important.  The original inclination to pass the object to the Sub was a good idea.
