Return a floating pt value to a script variable
I have a visual basic program that generates a single floating point number as its output. I would like to modify the program to stuff this value into a variable than can be used in a VB script. The idea is that the script would run the visual basic program and then use the value generated by the program throughout the remainder of the script. I've done this in with Fortran under Unix and other operating systems, but haven't a clue of how to do it in Visual Basic and Windows.

Answer Wiki:
If your program doecn't have a user interface and is merely an executable that you launch, you could rewrite it as an ActiveX DLL project. Call a public function that would run whatever code you are using then return your variable which you could use in a VB Script, ASP page, etc.
<%'Script page example:
myObject = Create.Object("myProject.clsMyClass")
myVariable = myObject.myFunction
%>
myProject Function Example:
Public Function myFunction() as Float
Dim anyVariable as Float
'Do stuff here
myFunction = anyVariable
End Function
Hope this helps!
