# SQL 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 code shows how to set the [RDS.DataControl](../../../ado/reference/rds-api/datacontrol-object-rds.md) SQL parameter at design time and bind it to a data-aware control using the database called *Pubs*, which ships with Microsoft SQL Server. To test the example, copy the following code into a normal ASP document named **SQLDesignVBS.asp** on your Web server.
```
<%@ Language=VBScript %>

```
The following example shows how to set the necessary parameters of **RDS.DataControl** at run time. To test this example, cut and paste the following code into a normal ASP document and name it **SQLRuntimeVBS.asp**. ASP script will identify your server.
