Back in the days the concept of using classes was beyond me so when I got the chance the other day to do some ASP coding I decided to do it the OOP way.

Classical ASP actually offers a pretty decent support for classes. It has private and public properties, constructors, functions, sub’s and getter and setter methods similar to those in ASP.NET.

The job was to create a video listing page for a clients site where the client would upload videos on YouTube and then have them automatically listed on her own site. The class supports video listing by searching, videos uploaded by a users and videos from a specific feed.

Let’s have a look at an example:

Set results = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set yt = new YouTube
yt.Search results, "", "BillGates", 1, 10, "video", true, 0, "rating"
keys = results.Keys
For i = 0 To results.Count -1
    Response.Write(results.Item(keys(i)).Title & "<br/>")
    Response.Write(results.Item(keys(i)).ShortDescription & "<br/>")
Next

The code above would return videos 1-10 uploaded by the user BillGates sorted by rating. Download the source code below.
