writing an IE plugin in .NET?

I'm trying to figure out a way to write an IE plugin in .NET. I need
something that runs on the client side not the server side for a number of
reasons. For example, one of the jobs this plugin will do is check to see
if the server is up ... difficult if the object itself is still ostensibly
running on the server!

This *has* to be possible. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks
John

BTW, I have tried using this method:

This works but the object disappears when the server goes down.

how about a hosted control?
A .NET control (visible or invisible) that is hosted within IE.

Here's an working example, including source code and some references to
other articles:

Have you thought about XMLHTTP? You could create a web page on you
server which returns an XML response. Using XMLHTTP and client sid
scripting, you can access the page to obtain the response. If you d
not receive the response, your server is not responding.

Would that work for your situation
