HI ALL
I have built a Active-X user control in vb6 that is extending the functionality of the listview control. I am using its ocx file in Access 2002. I now want to build this usercontrol with vb.net and use it in Access 2002. I am trying to create new window control library project in vb.net, I hope it is the right way.
I have 2 Questions:
1. Why does window control library Projects in VB .NET are Complied to .dll I want to compile it as .ocx and use it in access.
2. I can not add the .dll the toolbox components in access 2002 nor vb6. Is there a way to use this control in a form by adding the dll to the references collection?
 
Divil's quite correct (he usually is). While you can create CCWs for .NET DLLs, an ActiveX control environment such as the VB6 IDE isn't going to recognize the .NET-generated user control classes.
