Look up how to create a DLL.

C# is the easiest to use. Unless you are going to be doing something really hardcore that needs to run without .NET installed, don't use C++, especially if you're a beginner.

Check that out. Then check out how to register it for COM interop after you've made a DLL.

I would strongly recommend this book, ".NET and COM: The Complete Interoperability Guide by Adam Nathan" to guide you in the right direction if you plan on creating your DLL with .NET.

bgallagher, did you ever figure out how to send COM events to vbscript from a DLL written in C#? I have written a Sirius comunication library using C# that is done except for the fact that I'm having difficulty sending the events.

Everything works fine in VB6 and .NET....

Regarding the .NET event problem, there are a couple of ways to register events in VBScript but this engine does not support them. Typically, to do this in a scripting environment you would use Wscript's version of
CreateObject that defines a "prefix" to hook the events or you could declare your variables using 'WithEvents'.

I ended up following Chuck's instructions by manually triggering my methods once they are stored and invoking them as needed in my DLL. Now, in .NET when you want to pass parameters by reference when late binding to COM members via IDispatch, you must pass an array with only a single "ParameterModifier" element that is initialized with the number of parameters in the member being invoked. If you need sample code, I can provide.
