• What do I need to buy to use the EzScript COM DLL in my applications?

You must purchase a single machine development license.  See the Licensing page.

• What DLLs do I need to ship with my applicaiton?

You must ship the EzScript DLL (ezscript.dll) and the Microsoft scripting runtime DLL (scrrun.dll) .  Besides these, you must ship the scripting engine DLL you will use (eg. vbscript.dll or jscript.dll).

• Does EzScript handle Unicode?

Yes.  Additionally, EzScript recognizes the Unicode lead character - FFFEh.

• Can I use EzScript with .NET?

Yes - .NET fully supports COM objects.  You can even script .NET classes by passing as input parameters to the ScriptObject.

• Why should I use the EzScript COM DLL?

There  are many situations where you may need scripting in an application.  A Workflow system would have user-defined scripts for a Workflow Step.  Or you may need to generate XML or HTML documents dynamically.  The ScriptObject makes this super-easy.

• Can I use the System object stand-alone in my VB app?

Yes.  The System object makes accessing the Windows Registry and files very easy.

• Why does EzScript use the same syntax as ASP (same delimiters, etc.)?

ASP is known by many programmers, so it will be easy for them to use the ScriptObject.  And for those who don't know ASP, there are plenty of programming resources and examples to learn it.  Additionally, many text editors recognize ASP code (to support color-coding, etc.).

• Can I create ScriptObjects in script that is executed by a ScriptObject?

Yes.  You can script ScriptObjects by other ScriptObjects any number of levels deep.
