1. Identities

Library name: RSConvert
Library code: RSConvert
Library CLSID: 17B59EB9-3CC2-11D4-9F56-204C4F4F5020
ProgID: RSConvert.DBF
Library file name: RSConv.dll

2. Scripting engines without types (VB Script, JavaScript, JScript, WSH, ASP)

You can create the object using CreateObject function:

Dim DBF
Set DBF = CreateObject("RSConvert.DBF")
DBF.SomeMethod SomeParameters
DBF.SomeProperty = SomeValue

You can also use CreateObject method method of Server object (ASP) to put the DBF object to page scope or CreateObject method of WScript object in WSH.

You can also put the object to Application or Session scope using <object ...> tag in global.asa

<object runat="server" scope="application" id="DBF"
 progid="RSConvert.DBF">
</object>

Please use ActivexObject object in JScript/JavaScript to create DBF object:

var DBF;
DBF = new ActiveXObject("RSConvert.DBF");
DBF.SomeMethod(SomeParameters)
DBF.SomeProperty = SomeValue
...

3. VBA (VBA 5, VBA 6, Visual Studio, Word, Excel, MS Access, ...)

VBA 5/6: You can reference the library using menu Project -> References -> select 'RSConvert' in the listbox (or Project -> References -> Browse -> select RSConv.dll file).
MSAccess, Word, Excel: Tools -> Macro -> Visual Basic Editor, then Tools -> References
Then you can write:

Dim DBF As New RSConvert.DBF
DBF.SomeMethod SomeParameters
DBF.SomeProperty = SomeValue
    ...

Dim DBF As RSConvert.DBF
...
Set DBF = New RSConvert.DBF
DBF.SomeMethod SomeParameters
DBF.SomeProperty = SomeValue
...

You can use CreateObject function also, of course:

Dim DBF As RSConvert.DBF
...
Set DBF = CreateObject("RSConvert.DBF")
DBF.SomeMethod SomeParameters
DBF.SomeProperty = SomeValue
...

4. Visual Studio .NET (ASP.Net, VB.Net, C#, J#)

You can reference the library using menu Project -> Add reference -> COM tab -> select 'RSConvert' in the listbox -> click Select. Then you can write (C#, J#):

 //create  a new DBF object
 RSConvert.DBF DBF = new RSConvert.DBFClass(); 
 DBF.set_String("Some text value"); 
 





 String SQL; 
 SQL = "Insert Into Table (BinaryColumn) values (0x" + DBF.get_HexString() + ")"; ...

or (VBA)

Dim DBF As New RSConvert.DBF 
DBF.SomeMethod(SomeParameters)
DBF.SomeProperty = SomeValue

5. T-SQL, MS SQL stored procedures and functions

DECLARE @DBF INT, @OLEResult INT 
EXECUTE @OLEResult = sp_OACreate 'RSConvert.DBF', @DBF OUT
IF @OLEResult <> 0 PRINT 'Error create component DBF'

--Set a property of DBF.
EXECUTE @OLEResult = sp_OASetProperty @DBF, 'PropertyName', @SomeSQLValue
IF @OLEResult <> 0 PRINT 'PropertyName set problem'

--Get a value of a property of DBF.
EXECUTE @OLEResult = sp_OAGetProperty @DBF, 'PropertyName', @SomeSQLValue OUTPUT
IF @OLEResult <> 0 PRINT 'PropertyName get problem'

--Call some method of DBF.
EXEC @OLEResult = sp_OAMethod @DBF, 'MethodName', 
 @ReturnValue OUTPUT, @parameter1, @parameter2

5. Other programming environments

Please see documentation of your programing environment, work with COM objects (OLE objects, ActiveX objects). DBF is a standard COM object, it can work with other environments, such are Delphi or PowerBuilder.
