Types in ASP, is it possible?

Hey everyone,

I am writing a basic tournament submit site for a poker tournamen
group I am in. The situation is we want to use code to calculate wha
we owe other members at the end of the week. The way I figured to d
this is read from the database and store tournament numbers in an arra
then run a query for each tournament and cycle through the tournamen
data assigning the information where needed. I can not find if you ca
or how you can use a Typedef in ASP. Pretty much I want to create
type then make an array of that type. ie:

Type typTournamentInformation
dim Number
dim Member
dim XYZ
dim ETC
End Type

dim TInfo() as typTournamentInformation

then I can assign what I read from the database to tinfo(x).XXX

Is this possible in ASP

Maybe with a class, but types aren't supported in VBScript. You could use a
dictionary object, multi-dimension array, or - egads - a database?

Not really, VBScript doesn't support types. Why don't you just read
from the database and update it instead of creating an array to do
everything in?

This looks like a record definition to me...

An array of records, that's a table then...

You can in server-side JScript create an object that is populated from a
table row, encapsulating all the table access. I guess you can do the same
in VBScript.

But if you really want to store and retrieve the data as objects then I
guess you need an OO database product.
