1. Identities

Library name: TCPIP 1.0 Type Library
Library code: TCPIP
Library CLSID: 741A8CC3-7EFC-11D1-BBB6-204C4F4F5020
ProgID: .IPStatus
Library file name: TCPIP.DLL

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

You can create the object using CreateObject function:

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

You can also use CreateObject method method of Server object (ASP) to put the IPStatus 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="IPStatus"
 progid=".IPStatus">
</object>

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

var IPStatus;
IPStatus = new ActiveXObject(".IPStatus");
IPStatus.SomeMethod(SomeParameters)
IPStatus.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 'TCPIP 1.0 Type Library' in the listbox (or Project -> References -> Browse -> select TCPIP.DLL file).
MSAccess, Word, Excel: Tools -> Macro -> Visual Basic Editor, then Tools -> References
Then you can write:

Dim IPStatus As New TCPIP.IPStatus
IPStatus.SomeMethod SomeParameters
IPStatus.SomeProperty = SomeValue
    ...

Dim IPStatus As TCPIP.IPStatus
...
Set IPStatus = New TCPIP.IPStatus
IPStatus.SomeMethod SomeParameters
IPStatus.SomeProperty = SomeValue
...

You can use CreateObject function also, of course:

Dim IPStatus As TCPIP.IPStatus
...
Set IPStatus = CreateObject(".IPStatus")
IPStatus.SomeMethod SomeParameters
IPStatus.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 'TCPIP 1.0 Type Library' in the listbox -> click Select. Then you can write (C#, J#):

 //create  a new IPStatus object
 TCPIP.IPStatus IPStatus = new TCPIP.IPStatusClass(); 
 IPStatus.set_String("Some text value"); 
 





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

or (VBA)

Dim IPStatus As New TCPIP.IPStatus 
IPStatus.SomeMethod(SomeParameters)
IPStatus.SomeProperty = SomeValue

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

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

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

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

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

5. Other programming environments

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