How To Implement Visual C++ COM Objects Returning Recordsets

This article was previously published under Q225131

SUMMARY

This article describes, by example, how to implement a Visual C++ Component Object Model (COM) object that returns a recordset to Active Server Pages (ASP).

Implementing this incorrectly can result in memory leaks or one of the following errors:
The operation requested by the application is not allowed if the object is closed.
-or-
Type Mismatch
-or-
error 'ASP 0115' - A trappable error occured in an external object

MORE INFORMATION

Use the following steps to implement a method that returns a recordset from a Visual C++ COM object to Active Server Pages.
  1. Create an ATL DLL project called PassRs.
  2. Insert an ATL object named PassRsObj.
  3. Add a method with the following information:
    Method Name: TestMethod
    Parameters : [out, retval] LPDISPATCH* ppRecordset
    					
  4. Include the following line in the object's implementation file:
    #import "msado15.dll" no_namespace rename("EOF", "adoEOF")
    					
  5. Implement the method as follows:

    Note You must change UID=<username> and pwd=<strong password> to the correct values before you run this code. Make sure that UID has the appropriate permissions to perform this operation on the database.
    STDMETHODIMP CPassRsObj::TestMethod(LPDISPATCH *ppRecordset )
    {
        _ConnectionPtr pConn;
        _RecordsetPtr pRs;
    	
        pConn.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Connection));
        pRs.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Recordset));
    
        pConn->Open("DSN=pubs;uid=<username>;pwd=<strong password>;", (BSTR) NULL, (BSTR) NULL, -1);
    
        //Client side cursor is required for disconnected recordsets
        pRs->CursorLocation = adUseClient;
    
        pRs->Open( "select * from authors",
                   pConn.GetInterfacePtr(),
                   adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic, -1);
    
        // Disconnect the recordset
        pRs->PutRefActiveConnection(NULL);
    
        //Clone the recordset. 
        //NOTE: Recordset to be cloned must support bookmarks
        pRs->Clone(adLockOptimistic)->QueryInterface(IID_IDispatch, (void**) ppRecordset);
    
        pRs->Close();
        pConn->Close();
    
        pRs = NULL;
        pConn = NULL;	
    
        return S_OK;
    }
    					
  6. Create an ASP page with the following code:
    <%
    Dim rsTest, oTestPassRs
    
    Set oTestPassRs = Server.CreateObject("PassRs.PassRsObj")
    Set rsTest = oTestPassRs.TestMethod()
    
    Do 
       Response.Write ( "Value in Record = " & rsTest(1) & "<BR>" )
       rsTest.MoveNext
    Loop until rsTest.EOF
    
    rsTest.Close
    Set rsTest = Nothing
    Set oTestPassRs = Nothing
    %>

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
