I’m building an application in VB.NET that needs to create users in Notes. What would be ideal is for me to use a DLL that would interact with the C API to handle user creation, certification, etc. The VB app would call the DLL to handle these requests. So, here are my questions:
Do components like this already exist from third parties?
Does this sound feasible based on the C API capabilities?
I appreciate your input.

One of our customers had good luck with using Proposion N2N (Products A-Z) to add “New user” requests to the Registration Queue Database (the same one that Domino Administrator) uses and lets the normal registration process do the work.
It was awhile ago, but I can dig up details if you need them. Just post a question to our support database.

Yes, I know it’s “unmanaged” code from the VB.Net perspective, but it’s probably the easiest and fastest way to do it, as everything you need is wrapped into that specific class. The other option is to call the Notes C API, but that’s unmanaged, too.
