RDS.DataControl Object Example (VBScript)

The following code shows how to set the RDS.DataControl parameters at design time and bind it to a data-aware control using an ODBC data source called ADCDemo. If you followed directions, ADCDemo is installed on your server as a SQL Server ODBC data source. Cut and paste this code between the <Body></Body> tags in a normal HTML document and name it ADCapi1.asp. ASP script will identify your server.
