Yes.

Some of the literature of our field suggests that multi-threaded VB applications are not feasible for any purpose. However, we have come across a great book that shows how to do it.

You can modify the examples in the book to invoke Parallel Crystal's COM library from multi-threaded VB applications, both directly in VB and as a DLL from Visual Basic Script/Active Server Pages/IIS.

Dynalivery's current IIS 4.0/ASP sample is now available.
