Call funtion of a dll from asp

[Goldwind]

Hi,

Can i call function from dll from an asp page (not COM)?

The problem is that i want the asp page to call function from dll which will
be in the same folder.
I could have created a com dll but it means that the web hosting company
must register it on their server and they wont.

Thanks in advance

It can't be done.

What other options do i have?

Can i run an exe file from asp, on the server?

Permissions will likely prevent you from running an exe, although you can
try.
If you can't wrap it in a COM object, then your only other option is to
rewrite the dll's function in a vbscript function.

There's an often overlooked technology called Windows Scripting Components
(WSC) that may be an appropiate fit in this scenario. WSC's are honest to
goodness COM objects, written in plain text. And here's the stunning part.
They can be dynamically instantiated, i.e.. without the need to register the
component. Here's a related article:
