IIS hangs when testing VB DLL

Hello,

I'm trying to develop a DLL for use as an ASP object in VB5. When i go
and run the dll, it starts fine in vb and i see that it's creating a
temp instance of it in the registry.

When I run the asp page which calls that object through a browser
window, the browser locks. I telnet to port 80 and send a GET /, and
the connection hangs, nothing gets sent from IIS and the connection
never drops. When I comment out the createobject line, the asp page
loads fine, and when I stop the dll from running in vb, I get the
Server.CreateObject Failed error, which i'm expecting to happen.

I can however compile the dll and register it, then it works great, but
when I call the object while it's running from vb, it bombs. I would
just use registering and unregistering as a work-around, but after I
unregister the dll, I have to reboot the computer so I can overwrite
the dll with a new copy or I get an access denied message.

Any ideas?

Does this mean while running from the IDE - "when I call the object while
it's running from vb"?

You have to place VBDEBUG.DLL in your web space.

Actually the rules have changed a bit depending on IIS and ASP versions, you
might find something else more germaine to your problem here....
