VBScript Assingment Statement

The assignment statements are set statement, and assigning equal to statement.

Set Statement

to assigns an object reference to a variable or property, or to associate a procedure reference with an event.

Syntax

Set objectvar = {objectexpression | New classname | Nothing}

Set object.eventname = GetRef(procname)

Argument

Remarks

• To be valid, objectvar must be an object type consistent with the object being assigned to it.
• The Dim, Private, Public, or ReDim statements only declare a variable that refers to an object. No actual object is referred to until you use the Set statement to assign a specific object.
• Generally, when you use Set to assign an object reference to a variable, no copy of the object is created for that variable. Instead, a reference to the object is created. More than one object variable can refer to the same object. Because these variables are references to (rather than copies of) the object, any change in the object is reflected in all variables that refer to it.
• Using the New keyword allows you to concurrently create an instance of a class and assign it to an object reference variable. The variable to which the instance of the class is being assigned must already have been declared with the Dim (or equivalent) statement.
• Refer to the documentation for the GetRef function for information on using Set to associate a procedure with an event.

Requirement

= Operator

Comparing equal to operator is used to create a value by comparing that the first and second expressions are equal to each other. While assigning equal to operation is used to assign a value to variable1 copied the second expressions.

Syntax

expression1=expression2

variable1=expression2

Argument

Remarks

• The expression returns True if both expression1 and expression2 are equal to each other.
• The expression returns False if both expression1 and expression2 are not equal to each other.
• The expression returns Null if either expression1 or expression2 is Null.
• If both expressions are numeric then perform a numeric comparison.
• If both expressions are strings then perform a string comparison.
• If one expression is numeric and the other is a string then the numeric expression is less than the string expression.
• If one expression is Empty and the other is numeric then the Empty expression is evaluated as 0 to perform a numeric comparison.
• If one expression is Empty and the other is a string then the Empty expression is evaluated as zero-length string, "" to perform a string comparison.
• If both expressions are Empty, then two expressions are equal.
• The name on the left side of the equal sign can be a simple scalar variable or an element of an array. Properties on the left side of the equal sign can only be those properties that are writable at run time.
