listen to the Internet Explorer download event

I need to write an application in C# and VS2010 that can listen to the download event from Internet Explorer and capture the file URL to add it to a certain database.

My only problem is on how to implement an interface that actually captures that event.

What would I need in order to build or implement such functionality?

Looking for functionality as the "Free download manager or FDM software", each time you start a download on Internet Explorer, a "FDM" window pops up containing the URL of the download.

You can use something like this:

    public class BHO:IObjectWithSite
    {
        private WebBrowser webBrowser;

        public int SetSite(object site){
                webBrowser = (WebBrowser)site;
                webBrowser.DownloadComplete +=new DWebBrowserEvents2_DownloadCompleteEventHandler(webBrowser_DownloadComplete);
       (...)
   }

You need a browser helper object. These are COM components so you can develop them using C# but you need to expose them to COM.

Here is a primer to the COM programming in C#.

UPDATE

It seems the only way it is possible to write browser helper object in C++. Have a look here.
