Question about a DLL and class objects

[cdlvj]

I have a dll downloaded which does some graphs. I registered the DLL and use it in a asp page with a
Set object = Server.CreateObject("File.CTxt")

I would like to do similar things, and cannot find any simple examples.

What is this DLL? Com, .net? How is this implemented?

This is all very confusing. There is all this stuff about asp.net. Just simple want to do a similar thing and be able to call the methods in a dll from a asp page.
Thanks in advance.

I did a search for "how to create a DLL" on google and this is the first page on the list:

I have looked through hundreds of pages, and not one shows how to set up a dll for a call from an asp page.

Is this called a COM object when you use REGSRV32 to load it?

Thanks

Did figure this out.
A COM object is a DLL which can be called by any type of program whether it is C++, asp, or VB.

This is what I want.

Server.CreateObject("File.CTxt") == COM
