Could anyone tell me how to create an object in Visual Studio 2008? I am in the Object Browser now...but I don't know how to create an object and then connect that to a Cognos 8 Server. So I figure first thing is first...how do I create an object? Thanks for any help.

When creating new applications or components, it is best to create .NET Framework assemblies. However, Visual Basic also makes it easy to expose a .NET Framework component to COM. This enables you to provide new components for earlier application suites that require COM components. s COM objects, both with and without the COM class template.
Process :
1. On the Project menu, click Add Class.
2. In the Add New Item dialog box, type abc.vb in the Name text box, and then click Open.
3. Examine the code for the new class in the Code View window.
