How to run VBScript tutorial In order to run the tutorial create a file named Tutorial02.vbs containing previous code, open Command Prompt, change the directory to tutorial location using cd command and type: > cscript Tutorial02.vbs.
Overloaded methods For methods with same name but different parameters, only the first method overload retains the original name. Subsequent overloads are uniquely renamed by appending to the method name '_2', '_3', etc (method, method_2, method_3), an integer that corresponds to the order of declaration that can be found in EasyXLS.h, a file that comes with EasyXLS installation.
