Object Creation

Note:
For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use "Chilkat_9_5_0.DtObj" instead of "Chilkat.DtObj"
For a specific major version, use "Chilkat.DtObj.<major_version>", such as "Chilkat.DtObj.10" for Chilkat v10.*.*
See Chilkat ActiveX Object Creation

(ASP)
set obj = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.DtObj")

(AutoIt)
$obj = ObjCreate("Chilkat.DtObj")

(Visual Basic 6.0)
Dim obj As New DtObj

(VBScript)
set obj = CreateObject("Chilkat.DtObj")

(Delphi)
obj := TDtObj.Create(Self);

(FoxPro)
loObject = CreateObject('Chilkat.DtObj')

(PowerBuilder)
lole_object = create oleobject
li_rc = lole_object.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.DtObj")

(SQL Server)
EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'Chilkat.DtObj', @obj OUT

(Javascript)
var obj = new ActiveXObject("Chilkat.DtObj");

Properties

Day
Day As Long

The day of the month. The valid values for this member are 1 through 31.

top
DebugLogFilePath
DebugLogFilePath As String

If set to a file path, this property logs the LastErrorText of each Chilkat method or property call to the specified file. This logging helps identify the context and history of Chilkat calls leading up to any crash or hang, aiding in debugging.

Enabling the VerboseLogging property provides more detailed information. This property is mainly used for debugging rare instances where a Chilkat method call causes a hang or crash, which should generally not happen.

Possible causes of hangs include:

  • A timeout property set to 0, indicating an infinite timeout.
  • A hang occurring within an event callback in the application code.
  • An internal bug in the Chilkat code causing the hang.

Hour
Hour As Long

The hour. The valid values for this member are 0 through 23.

top
LastBinaryResult
LastBinaryResult As Variant (read-only)

This property is mainly used in SQL Server stored procedures to retrieve binary data from the last method call that returned binary data. It is only accessible if Chilkat.Global.KeepBinaryResult is set to 1. This feature allows for the retrieval of large varbinary results in an SQL Server environment, which has restrictions on returning large data via method calls, though temp tables can handle binary properties.

top
LastErrorHtml
LastErrorHtml As String (read-only)

Provides HTML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

top
LastErrorText
LastErrorText As String (read-only)

Provides plain text information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

top
LastErrorXml
LastErrorXml As String (read-only)

Provides XML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

top
LastMethodSuccess
LastMethodSuccess As Long

Indicates the success or failure of the most recent method call: 1 means success, 0 means failure. This property remains unchanged by property setters or getters. This method is present to address challenges in checking for null or Nothing returns in certain programming languages.

top
LastStringResult
LastStringResult As String (read-only)

In SQL Server stored procedures, this property holds the string return value of the most recent method call that returns a string. It is accessible only when Chilkat.Global.KeepStringResult is set to TRUE. SQL Server has limitations on string lengths returned from methods and properties, but temp tables can be used to access large strings.

top
LastStringResultLen
LastStringResultLen As Long (read-only)

The length, in characters, of the string contained in the LastStringResult property.

top
Minute
Minute As Long

The minute. The valid values for this member are 0 through 59.

top
Month
Month As Long

The month. The valid values for this member are 1 through 12 where 1 = January and 12 = December.

top
Second
Second As Long

The second. The valid values for this member are 0 through 59.

top
StructTmMonth
StructTmMonth As Long

The month. The valid values for this member are 0 through 11 where 0 = January and 11 = December.

top
StructTmYear
StructTmYear As Long

The year represented as the number of years since 1900.

top
Utc
Utc As Long

1 if this is a UTC time, otherwise 0 if this is a local time.

top
VerboseLogging
VerboseLogging As Long

If set to 1, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is 0. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

top
Version
Version As String (read-only)

Version of the component/library, such as "10.1.0"

Methods

DeSerialize
DeSerialize(serializedDtObj As String)

Loads the date/time with a string having the format as produced by the Serialize method, which is a string of SPACE separated integers containing (in this order) year, month, day, hour, minutes, seconds, and a UTC flag having the value of 1/0.

top
Serialize
Serialize() As String

Serializes the date/time to a us-ascii string that can be imported at a later time via the DeSerialize method. The format of the string returned by this method is not intended to match any published standard. It is formatted to a string with SPACE separated integers containing (in this order) year, month, day, hour, minutes, seconds, and a UTC flag having the value of 1/0.

Returns Nothing on failure
