Can you please be more specific about what you're actually doing and what you actually want to do?

Hi
I need to get the list count from Sharepoint for the active list. This is for monitoring in SCOM. I have not been able to do this with VBScript but can with VB.Net. So I have to call a vb.net program from VBScript and get back the list item count in VBScript.

You don't actually call a program and they don't actually return anything. Do you mean that you are access a .NET DLL in VBScript, or do you mean a completely separate process? If it's the latter then you might be able to use the exit code, but that's really not what it's designed for.

I was thinking something like a function where there is a parameter past back.

In that case you need a function that can be called from VBScript. That means you need to create a library, not a program, and make it accessible to COM.

Hi

Thanks for your help so far. That artical you placed has helped a lot but it is a bit old. How would you do this with Vs 2005 or VS 2008. I have ben looking at VS 2008 AssemblyInfo.cs and there is no AssemblyKeyFile property. Do you perhaps have some other samples for me.

Thanks

Robert
