I'm looking to interate my VB.NET application to an Asterisk switch. Meaning: I would like the VB.NET application to connect (logon?) to the switch and initiate calls to either a hard- or softphone. Furthermore I want to get signals (e.g. busy, voicemail, hangup) from the switch nd interpret then in my VB.NET application.<br />

I'm having trouble finding good documentation on this. Same for examples. Can anybody help me to get started? Thanks!

Integrate VB.NET application to Asterisk switch

IP telephony (Internet Protocol telephony) is a general term for the technologies that use the Internet Protocol's packet-switched connections to exchange voice, fax, and other forms of information that have traditionally been carried over the dedicated circuit-switched connections of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Using the Internet, calls travel as packets of data on shared lines, avoiding the tolls of the PSTN. The challenge in IP telephony is to deliver the voice, fax, or video packets in a dependable flow to the user.

IP Telephony

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
