Events in ASP

Hi, In visual basic I can create an event which triggers a routine when something happens to some data.

Is it possible to do the same thing but tell an ASP page that an event has occurred?

Eg: I create a DLL which I then instantiate via an ASP page. When something happens in the COM object (Event is triggered) I want the ASP page to output a message to the users web browser.

Can I do this?

Cheers

Because of the stateless nature of HTTP, you can't really do it. You could do something like put a ActiveX control or Java Applet on a page that maintains a connection with an app on the server, and then it could be notified of events.

Thanks, I thought as much
