Programming Tips and Gotchas

  • This property is implemented as a function in the JScript scripting engine.

  • If your script requires some functionality available in a baseline minor version, ordinarily you would want to make sure that the script is running on that version or a later version. Test for a minor version with a code fragment like:

    Dim iMajor As Integer = ScriptEngineMajorVersion(  )
    Dim iMinor As Integer = ScriptEngineMinorVersion(  )
    If (lMajor = x And lMinor >= y) Or (lMajor > x) Then
       ...
