I'm wondering... I used to develop ActiveX components and embed them to a webpage with VB6. I was thinking of using VB.NET or C# to develop ActiveX.. but I'm not sure if VB.NET and C# can develop ActiveX or not? Is ActiveX still around in .NET? or something replace it?

 

If it's possible to develop ActiveX component in VB.NET or C#, then if I deploy it as a CAB file embedded on a webpage, do you think visitors or clients who don't have .NET framework can view the ActiveX? Or in simple words, do they need .NET framework to run my ActiveX? or just download the necessary components either from Microsoft website or my CAB file like an usual ActiveX does?

 

Thanks.

You can't make ActiveX controls with any of the .NET languages. The closest you'll get is embedding a Windows Forms Control in Internet Explorer, which works quite well if you have the right security set up, and there are several articles online on the subject.
