Implementing a COM object in vb.net

Hello,

I have a dll that listens to events from our PBX, I am trying to implement this dll in a web application using vb.net to create pop-ups. The problem I am having is figuring out how to implement this dll in my code to listen to the COM locally on the user machine. I can reference the dll in my vb code but how will it listen to the event locally?

I hope the question is clear enough.

Thanks,

Ok, then, in this case, I can use a VB6 program that would listen to these events and fire a web page. The problem with that is users login to that web application and I store their data in a session coockie, if I use the shell command from my vb6 program I cannot access the session information from the page, any way around that?

You can develop a mechanism to communicate with browser and VB application. May be using Activex or URL Protocol or Browser Helper Object.
Can I create an ActiveX control using that dll and use vb.net with that activex?
Yes you can create ActiveX using any COM DLL. And you can communicate with VB.NET application using activex
