1. Identities

Library name: Script Utilities library
Library code: ScriptUtilities
Library CLSID: 41ABB943-5D82-11D3-9DD5-204C4F4F5020
ProgID: ScriptUtils.LogFile
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 LogFile
Set LogFile = CreateObject("ScriptUtils.LogFile")
LogFile.SomeMethod SomeParameters
LogFile.SomeProperty = SomeValue

You can also use CreateObject method method of Server object (ASP) to put the LogFile 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="LogFile"
 progid="ScriptUtils.LogFile">
</object>

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

var LogFile;
LogFile = new ActiveXObject("ScriptUtils.LogFile");
LogFile.SomeMethod(SomeParameters)
LogFile.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 LogFile As New ScriptUtilities.LogFile
LogFile.SomeMethod SomeParameters
LogFile.SomeProperty = SomeValue
    ...

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

You can use CreateObject function also, of course:

Dim LogFile As ScriptUtilities.LogFile
...
Set LogFile = CreateObject("ScriptUtils.LogFile")
LogFile.SomeMethod SomeParameters
LogFile.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 LogFile object
 ScriptUtilities.LogFile LogFile = new ScriptUtilities.LogFileClass(); 
 LogFile.set_String("Some text value"); 
 





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

or (VBA)

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

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

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

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

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

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

5. Other programming environments

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