VB Immediate Window

[Giancarlo Aguilera]

Can't you use VB 6.0 instead?

[Tom Archer]

I could install VB6, but could much more quickly test the vbscript stuff in a web page. Cheers, Tom Archer - Archer Consulting Group Programmer Trainer and Mentor and Project Management Consultant

That's basically what I ended up doing - saving it to an asp file, copying it to my server and running it. Not as slick as the Immediate Window used to be in terms of iteratively typing in commands, getting feedback, checking vars and so on, but better than nothing.

Execute a VB.NET project with Visual Studio 2003. Now open the Command Window by pressing Ctrl+alt+A. on the Command Window , Type "immed" and press enter switch to Immediate Window.. :) Cheers Joy Joyprakash Saikia

Thanks Joy, but they either broke it or changed it. I remember being able to instantiate com objects and the like and now I get errors stating that I can't do that in "design mode" Cheers, Tom Archer - Archer Consulting Group Programmer Trainer and Mentor and Project Management Consultant

If you try to it on design mode , then you are actually debugging VS.NET IDE itself :) .. For example, in "design mode" of VS.NET project ,open Command window and go to immediate window , now type "exit" .. IT WILL EXIT THE IDE.. SO PLEASE SAVE YOUR WORK BEFORE DOING ABOVE MENTIONED TEST.. Joyprakash Saikia MCSD.NET Software Architect Mellon San francisco

As an example, how would I create an object then? Such as: Set Brain = CreateObject("Asst.Brain") I know nothign about VB projects or the like. I'm simply wanting an environment to quickly test some simple VBScript. Cheers, Tom Archer - Archer Consulting Group Programmer Trainer and Mentor and Project Management Consultant

Simply create a .vbs file on your desktop with your favorite text editor (e.g., Notepad) and double-click it to run. I see dead pixels Yes, even I am blogging now!

Tom - it's probably easier running it using cscript.exe on the client-side.... Run cscript //h:cscript, add .VBS to your pathext environment variable and you can run VBS scripts from the command prompt. Stuart Dootson 'Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p'
