I am fairly new to vb.net.
I have the source code to a vb6 ocx that I want to re-create in vb.net. I think I can make it faster because of the new networkstreams.
How do I create a new control or activeX in vb.net?
This control is not for web based app so asp will not help me I don't think
Thanks for any advice
File... New... Project... in the "Templates" List, choose Window Control Library... (This will be a .NET user control NOT an ActiveX Control... those are goners...)
But just a few days ago MS was hailing ActiveX as the thing :cool:Quote:

LOL
yeah that's right. But ActiveX and win32 dll files are as good as history now. ActiveX was part of the dll **** in windows. And ms said they would solve that problem with the coming of .NET technologies.
As far as I know now the .NET framework delivers you the solution to the dll ****. One-time dll file installation and never again ! Since all apps are based on the same files, nothing can create conflicts. These dll files are not alterable so messing up the framework isn't possible.
I think .NET is the best product ms ever made. Ok ok I agree that it still has a huge amount of errors but that's about to be solved !
Totally confusing response - More questions than answers:
>As far as I know now the .NET framework delivers you the solution to the dll ****.
what is or was a four star DLL (I have eliminated an hotel rating)
>One-time dll file installation and never again
so is that supposed to be new?
>Since all apps are based on the same files, nothing can create conflicts.
all apps based on the same files - do you mean you can call a .NET DLL from any language?
Sure can't figure how that premise leads to no conflicts - isn't there more room for conflict somewhere?
>These dll files are not alterable so messing up the framework isn't possible.
You mean you can not change a DLL? seems obvious that you can - so what are you talking about here?
