error '80131509'

[Jason Rowland]

I created a .NET assembly and made it accessable as a COM object. When I
tried to instantiate it in an ASP page, I got error '80131509'. If I create
the COM object in a simple HTML page it works fine. I am using ASP, not
ASP.NET. Searching for the number on google gives no help whatsoever.

This is the ASP that I am using:
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<% Option Explicit %>
<%
Dim WebFarmSession: WebFarmSession = CreateObject("ComTest.WebFarmSession")
%>

How are you "creating the COM object in a simple HTML page"? Is it a
control that the user will see? Otherwise, what purpose could it serve in
HTML?

I am creating it on the HTML page just to test that my .NET COM object was
working properly (it was).
dim myobj
set myobj = CreateObject("ComTest.WebFarmSession")
myobj.testmethod()

When I moved the code to an ASP page to use it server side where it will be
used, I got the error. The error message "error 80131509" that is returned
is extremely unhelpful. The problem is I don't know ASP as all my experience
is .NET, java. Instead of the code that worked for me in the html file, I
needed to use:

set WebFarmSession = Server.CreateObject("ComTest.WebFarmSession")

If you omit the "Server." prefix, you get that error.
