You can't. With a lot of work, you can just about expose a windows forms control as an ActiveX that can be hosted in the ActiveX test container, but you won't get one that will run in VB6.
The ActiveX test container is a tool that comes with VS6. I don't know if windows forms controls exposed as ActiveX controls can be hosted in a webpage or not.
No, if .NET can do ActiveX controls, then why I still cater for VS6 staff? I just want to use VB.NET to do ActiveX control then embed it in ASP.NET webform.
.NET _can't_ do ActiveX controls. With a lot of work and nasty hacks you might just get a windows forms control you wrote to be exposed as a limited ActiveX control.
As far as I understand, MS gave up on the idea of supporting this because of problems interacting with .NET types from VB6 code. You just wouldn't be able to interact with the control properly.
