The way that I can think of would be to create a context or add an 
extension in your outward context to call an AGI that would solicit the 
info you need and then push you into a conference.

Then issue a .call file to call the other party, gather your info and 
then pop them into the same conference.  Store the data gathered by each 
caller in the AstDB or another db like FirebirdSQL or MySQL.

You indicated that your .net classes have a Manager implementation. 
Creating a call should be fairly easy using the Manager API originate:

I wrote a built-in object into AsterPas to do call files which is just 
an abstraction of the System Command implemented in a FastAGI server:

There are some script/code samples on the site that may be useful in 
implementing that kind of thing through whichever .net abstraction layer 
you are using.  Pascal is not that different from C#...
