Name
Dictionary.Items Method
Syntax
dictionaryobject.Items-
dictionaryobject Use: Required
Data Subtype: Dictionary object
A reference to a Dictionary object.
Return Value
A Variant array.
Description
Returns an array containing all the items in the specified Dictionary object.
Rules at a Glance
The returned array is always a zero-based variant array whose data subtype matches that of the items in the Dictionary object.
Example
The following ASP example uses Global.asa to
generate a session-level Dictionary object containing the names of
some Shakespearean plays, then uses the Items property to display
them to a web page. The contents of Global.asa
are:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" RUNAT="SERVER">
Sub Session_OnStart
Dim oDict
Set oDict = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
oDict.Add "MER", "The Merchant of Venice"
oDict.Add "HAM", "Hamlet"
oDict.Add "TEM", "The Tempest"
oDict.Add "MAC", "MacBeth"
oDict.Add "OTH", "Othello"
oDict.Add "ADO", "Much Ado about Nothing"
oDict.Add "LEA", "King Lear"
Set Session.Contents.Item("PLAYS") = oDict
End Sub
</SCRIPT>The web page that actually retrieves the array returned by the Items property is:
<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Shakespeare's Plays</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <CENTER><H2>Selected Shakespeare Plays</H2></CENTER> <P> Click on the play about which you'd like more information:<P> <% Dim sPlay, sPlays sPlays = Session.Contents("PLAYS").Items For Each sPlay in sPlays Response.Write "<A HREF=" & chr(34) & sPlay & ".htm" & _ chr(34) & ">" & sPlay & "</A><P>" ...Become an O’Reilly member and get unlimited access to this title plus top books and audiobooks from O’Reilly and nearly 200 top publishers, thousands of courses curated by job role, 150+ live events each month,
