# ReadyState Property Example (VBScript)
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, RDS server components are no longer included in the Windows operating system (see Windows 8 and [Windows Server 2012 Compatibility Cookbook](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=27416) for more detail). RDS client components will be removed in a future version of Windows. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature. Applications that use RDS should migrate to [WCF Data Service](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=199565).
The following example shows how to read the [ReadyState](../../../ado/reference/rds-api/readystate-property-rds.md) property of the [RDS.DataControl](../../../ado/reference/rds-api/datacontrol-object-rds.md) object at run time in VBScript code. **ReadyState** is a read-only property.
To test this example, cut and paste this code between the \ and \ tags in a normal HTML document and name it **RDSReadySt.asp**. Use **Find** to locate the file Adovbs.inc and place it in the directory you plan to use. ASP script will identify your server.
