Register activeX control as server side control

[davearia]

Hi,

We have an activeX control at work which has been successfully used in many desktop applications, where you can easily add it to the toolbar in Visual Studio.

However, in ASP web pages you cannot add it to the toolbar. If you right click in the toolbar and select Choose items... and browse to the com object, the com object gets added however no usercontrols is added to the toolbox.

I think I need to register it in the asp.net page. But I am not sure of it's namespace etc.

Can anyone please give me some ideas on registering this kind of control so it can be referrenced server side?

Thanks, Dave.

Just to clarify - are you trying to use a COM based windows control in a web application?

Hi,

Yes that is correct.

I have been told that activeX objects rely on vb script so it looks like this is a bit of a non-starter.

Cheers, Dave.
