com in asp.net?

rom
Hi,

I have an asp.net application where I need to open the
word application and perform some tasks. In the old days I
would do that in a com and I wanted to know which is the
best way to do it in the .net environment? for now I added
a new vb.net file and created the classes in there, so I
can create an instance of the mail class from the vb.net
codebehind page....

Thanks.

You can still use the same COM interfaces and components from .NET.
There are a lot of KB articles on the subject if you search around,
here is one:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316383/EN-US/

and the obligatory caveat:

Thanks for the replys! Anyway, I don't have a problem with
office automation. The question was much more general -
where should I put classes that I create if I want them to
be available in more than 1 application? I put it now in a
vb.net file that I added to the solution but is that
the "correct" way?

Thanks!

The "correct" place to put them is in the GAC.
Here's more info:
