1. Identities

Library name: Script Utilities library
Library code: ScriptUtilities
Library CLSID: 41ABB943-5D82-11D3-9DD5-204C4F4F5020
ProgID: ScriptUtils.OutputTypes
Library file name: ScptUtl.DLL

2. Scripting engines without types (VB Script, JavaScript, JScript, WSH, ASP)

You can create the object using CreateObject function:

Dim OutputTypes
Set OutputTypes = CreateObject("ScriptUtils.OutputTypes")
OutputTypes.SomeMethod SomeParameters
OutputTypes.SomeProperty = SomeValue

You can also use CreateObject method method of Server object (ASP) to put the OutputTypes object to page scope or CreateObject method of WScript object in WSH.

You can also put the object to Application or Session scope using <object ...> tag in global.asa

<object runat="server" scope="application" id="OutputTypes"
 progid="ScriptUtils.OutputTypes">
</object>

Please use ActivexObject object in JScript/JavaScript to create OutputTypes object:

var OutputTypes;
OutputTypes = new ActiveXObject("ScriptUtils.OutputTypes");
OutputTypes.SomeMethod(SomeParameters)
OutputTypes.SomeProperty = SomeValue
...

3. VBA (VBA 5, VBA 6, Visual Studio, Word, Excel, MS Access, ...)

VBA 5/6: You can reference the library using menu Project -> References -> select 'Script Utilities library' in the listbox (or Project -> References -> Browse -> select ScptUtl.DLL file).
MSAccess, Word, Excel: Tools -> Macro -> Visual Basic Editor, then Tools -> References
Then you can write:

Dim OutputTypes As New ScriptUtilities.OutputTypes
OutputTypes.SomeMethod SomeParameters
OutputTypes.SomeProperty = SomeValue
    ...

Dim OutputTypes As ScriptUtilities.OutputTypes
...
Set OutputTypes = New ScriptUtilities.OutputTypes
OutputTypes.SomeMethod SomeParameters
OutputTypes.SomeProperty = SomeValue
...

You can use CreateObject function also, of course:

Dim OutputTypes As ScriptUtilities.OutputTypes
...
Set OutputTypes = CreateObject("ScriptUtils.OutputTypes")
OutputTypes.SomeMethod SomeParameters
OutputTypes.SomeProperty = SomeValue
...

4. Visual Studio .NET (ASP.Net, VB.Net, C#, J#)

You can reference the library using menu Project -> Add reference -> COM tab -> select 'Script Utilities library' in the listbox -> click Select. Then you can write (C#, J#):

 //create  a new OutputTypes object
 ScriptUtilities.OutputTypes OutputTypes = new ScriptUtilities.OutputTypesClass(); 
 OutputTypes.set_String("Some text value"); 
 





 String SQL; 
 SQL = "Insert Into Table (BinaryColumn) values (0x" + OutputTypes.get_HexString() + ")"; ...

or (VBA)

Dim OutputTypes As New ScriptUtilities.OutputTypes 
OutputTypes.SomeMethod(SomeParameters)
OutputTypes.SomeProperty = SomeValue

5. T-SQL, MS SQL stored procedures and functions

DECLARE @OutputTypes INT, @OLEResult INT 
EXECUTE @OLEResult = sp_OACreate 'ScriptUtils.OutputTypes', @OutputTypes OUT
IF @OLEResult <> 0 PRINT 'Error create component OutputTypes'

--Set a property of OutputTypes.
EXECUTE @OLEResult = sp_OASetProperty @OutputTypes, 'PropertyName', @SomeSQLValue
IF @OLEResult <> 0 PRINT 'PropertyName set problem'

--Get a value of a property of OutputTypes.
EXECUTE @OLEResult = sp_OAGetProperty @OutputTypes, 'PropertyName', @SomeSQLValue OUTPUT
IF @OLEResult <> 0 PRINT 'PropertyName get problem'

--Call some method of OutputTypes.
EXEC @OLEResult = sp_OAMethod @OutputTypes, 'MethodName', 
 @ReturnValue OUTPUT, @parameter1, @parameter2

5. Other programming environments

Please see documentation of your programing environment, work with COM objects (OLE objects, ActiveX objects). OutputTypes is a standard COM object, it can work with other environments, such are Delphi or PowerBuilder.
