Any IVR SDKs that use .NET?

In the early 1990s there were quite a few Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
SDKs that used VB for development. What happened to this category. Its like
vanished.

Does anybody know how IVR applications are built using .NET?

At first blush, you might think that the way to go would be to use .Net's
COM callable wrappers (CCW) over the COM based version 3 of the telephony
API. Unfortunately, it's not that easy and MS has a knowledge base article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841712/en-us

that basically says "don't do that".

If you like, you might want to post again in the telephony group

microsoft.public.win32.programmer.tapi

for more info on TAPI and .Net

Now, I general, I'll refrain from "plugging my stuff" here but since you
asked ...

.... I plan on releasing .Net based, speech enabled telephony development
tools very shortly. If you like you can take a look at the C# video
tutorials on my web site

or contact me privately ( remove . no . spam from my email address).
