Hi. I have a script which I want to run from VB.net. It is a sample script, so if this works I can use a 'real' one. The whole script appears below. However, all instances of the word 'Set' automatically disappear as soon as they can. This means that those variables are not Dim'med.
Even if I Dim them, this is not the same as 'Set '. Lastly, it says WScript is not declared.
Have I missed an Import or Inherit?
'Chilkat' is a component which is installed on my system, but I'm not sure how to relate it to the code.
Thank you.

VB.NET:
Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True)
set http = CreateObject("Chilkat.Http")
' Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
success = http.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")
If (success <> 1) Then
MsgBox http.LastErrorText
WScript.Quit
End If
' This example uses a live web service at:
' http://www.webservicex.net/uklocation.asmx
' It gets the UK town,Postcode and County by Postcode(First Section of Post Code)
' The SOAP XML will look like this:
' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
' <soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

' <PostCode>string</PostCode>
' </GetUKLocationByPostCode>
' </soap:Body>

' expects "text/xml". Therefore, change the content-type:
