CS3 Indesign SDK for Visual Studio 2005/2008

Can someone point me in the right direction to get the proper SDK to enable me to integrate my ASP.NET application with Indesign CS3. I found a SDK but it seems it only has VBS, C++ and JS. Do i need to add some of these as COM objects?

Thanks!

Technically they should behave similarly (at that COM level), it is just a licensing question.
See the license agreement that came with your application, or contact Adobe sales when in doubt.

Thank you for your reply,
So lets say i have a document that i create in InDesign and i want to modify it via a web application (ASP.NET) is that possible? Or do i need to get InDesign Server or something?

The SDK is mainly for plugin development in C++.
You will use the scripting interface, which is better covered next door in the scripting forum.
Watch out for keywords like TLB, C# ...

For example, see here:
