Ok.  If I get 405 views in the first 19 hours and there are no
responses, I must've not given enough information.

The idea is that I have an ASP 2.0 page with a C# code file.  I wanted
to reference a DLL, which was written in C++/COM/ATL, whose only
responsibility is to fire an event when told to do so.  The firing of
the event gets all the way to the point of a for loop used to let the
subscribed event sinks know that the event has fired.  The generated
for loops looks like the following:

int CConnections = m_vec.GetSize();
for(IConnections = 0; IConnections < CConnections; IConnetions++)

Upon throwing in some message boxes, I found that CConnections is
equal to zero.  Here's where the event sink comes in:  there's another
program running that references the same DLL and has implemented an
event sink like in the above mentioned tutorial.  It initializes the
event sink and doesn't cause an exception when it advises an object of
the class inside the DLL.  My take from Microsoft is that that means
it is now waiting for the event.  So, now I have a program firing an
event and one sinked to an event...but the event sink isn't catching
the event being fired.

I've tried two other options.  One idea I had was that maybe it was
instantiating different instances of the DLL.  The instances being in
different process spaces may make the catching of the event impossible
since they don't know of each other.  Well, I tried to go back and
make the DLL an executable service.  It works exactly the same way
with the exact same problem.  Ok, well, I thought to try accomplishing
this through delegation like in the second half of the above mentioned
tutorial.  Now, I'm in a whirlwind of confusing documentation trying
to find out how to create an event handler for a custom event.  All I
keep getting are articles on how to create event handlers for events
under the System namespace (i.e. Click, SelectedIndexChanged, etc.)  I
can't figure out if I need to just inherit from IEvent or what within
the service.

Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.  To recreate the DLL
(ATL Control) or service (ATL Simple Object), use the tutorial on ATL
Objects at the following link:
