discountasp.net classic asp ipworks

Question

I need to be able to retrieve emails from SmarterMail (the email that comes with DiscountASP.net). DiscountASP claims they have the IPWorks suite installed, but when I try to invoke it with:

Set imap = Server.CreateObject("IPWorksASP.IMAP")

or

Set imap = Server.CreateObject("IPWorksASP6.IMAP")

I get a server create object error. Can someone tell me the correct syntax for creating the IMAP object of IPWorks on DiscountASP.net?

Thank you - Robert

Answer 1

They never say they have IP*Works available for asp.classic.

Instead, they say they have IP*Works! Internet Toolkit .NET Edition v8

To use the software from asp.classic, you need ActiveX/COM Edition of the IP*Works! package.

Update: you should be able to develop a COM object in C#/VB.NET, that uses IP*Works .NET Edition to retrieve the e-mails you want, and use that COM object from your asp.classic web site. Here's one guide for C#, don't forget about [InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsDual)] attribute (required for the COM object to be accessible from VBScript/ASP.classic).
