Don t Use Set and Let When Working with Objects

Don't Use Set and Let When Working with Objects

In previous versions of ASP, you were required to use Set when assigning an object to a variable. For example, when creating an instance of the Connection object, you used the following statement:

 <% Set conPubs = Server.CreateObject( "ADODB.Connection" ) %> 

You no longer use the Set statement when creating ASP.NET pages with Visual Basic .NET. Instead, you can use a simple assignment:

 <% conPubs = Server.CreateObject( "ADODB.Connection" ) %> 

Furthermore, you can no longer use the Let statement.
