This article deals with classes and their instances in VBScript. Make sure you’re familiar with the subject by reading the introduction article to classes.

In this article we’ll cover the basics for composing classes (i.e. using one class from within another), and some common and less common uses for this technique. I’m sure that once you’ll see the huge benefits we can gain by selectively using this technique, you’ll at least try it.

In this article we have ran through some of the principles behind class composition. Class composition is a wide and deep subject, and this article has only scratched the tip of the iceberg. Having said that, the subjects and examples we’ve covered are more than sufficient grounds for you to continue to explore the many uses and faces of class composition on your own.

A good place to start exploring can be the ReporterManager project, where class composition is used extensively between the different components. Once the FrameworkManager project will be released, it too can be a valuable guide to many nitpicking class composition issues.
