Can you work with char's in VBScript?

Question

I have a .NET Class that contains a property that returns a char value. I am accessing this assembly using a VBScript via COM. When i attempt to read the property that is of type (char) I get an error in my VBScript that reads Variable uses an Automation type not supported in VBScript. How can I get around this error. Is there a way to do it without changing the datatype in the .NET assembly?

Answer 1

You have to cast the char type using the VBScript function chr(). like this: chr ID = chr(FW.WheelID) where WheelID is the property of type char of the object FW.
