Hi,

I'm new to VB.net and I'm using .net V3.5
I'm also new to connection points and have a very sketchy understanding of COM objects.

What I'm trying to do is use a connection point to perform IPC with another application. My VB.net project will be the server side, and the other application is the client.

The other developer (in russia no less has created a C++ project that defines and extendes a COM object for connection points.
I have used tlbimp.exe to produce a dll from the .tlb files created by the C++ client, and referenced the dll in my VB project. I can now declare a class of the type I need, it's called _ICuesHDEvents.

So now I have this _ICuesHDEvents object in my project, I need to somehow subscribe(I think)? delegates or callbacks(I think?) in my project in such a way that when the functions or evets get triggered in the client app, they will call functions in my (VB) server app, which I will then handle.



my questios: Am I on the right track here? Do I have any of this right? MOST importantly, where do I go now?

sorry for being such a noob to this but I've just found the web information about this topic pretty sketchy and hard to understand.


Thanks so much for any help on this issue, I need it badly right now!

Cheers,
Eddie
