Enable Chilkat Classes in JavaScript

See more JavaScript Examples

To use Chilkat classes in JavaScript, you must first enable them in the host application, as they are disabled by default. Instantiating a disabled class will cause a JavaScript exception. Chilkat classes can be enabled in four local filesystem access modes: sandbox, readOnly, writeOnly, or readWrite. You can also enable all classes in a chosen mode.

    DECLARE @hr int
    -- Important: Do not use nvarchar(max).  See the warning about using nvarchar(max).

    -- Chilkat classes within JavaScript are disabled by default.
    -- An attempt to instantiate a disabled Chilkat class results in a JavaScript exception.

    -- For example, try the following JavaScript without first enabling the Chilkat class:

    -- sb = new CkStringBuilder();
    -- sb.Append('Hello World');
    -- success = sb.WriteFile('c:/aaworkarea/helloWorld.txt','utf-8',true);

    DECLARE @sbJavaScript int

    IF @hr <> 0
