I'm playing with an ActiveX XML-RPC client (and ASP-based server) and I have some questions:

http://www.wc.cc.va.us/FrontierIMS/XML/rpc.asp

What's the significance of the tag? Does it match up to Visual Basic's byte data type or do I have to specifically encode it (I think I can use the dll at http://sevillaonline.com/ActiveX/Base64.htm to do this).

How do I deal with other data types:

vbEmpty Empty (uninitialized)
vbNull Null (no valid data)
vbLong Long integer
vbSingle Single-precision floating-point number
vbCurrency Currency
vbObject Automation object
vbError Error
vbVariant Variant (used only with arrays of Variants)
vbDataObject A data-access object
vbByte Byte

Also, I think the Visual Basic dictionary matches up to the type, but how do I detect whether a variable is a dictionary? The VarType(var) function doesn't seem to address this.

TIA

David
