[RESOLVED] Creating an ActiveX control with C#

[ifdef]

I have looked into ActiveX controls and all the examples have been in VB. Looking though the available project templates in VS 2005 I only see an Active X option under C++.

I would like to use C# since the code I need to put in the object already exists in C#, however the closest thing I have found for C# is a "Web Control Library". Is that analogous to a C++ ActiveX control?

What should i expect to see as compiled output?

Thanks,

Hi !
Web Controls and Windows Forms Controls are quiet different.
Talking about Windows Forms Controls we have to differ between Components and Controls.
For more information look here

While I'm familar with designing controls and components in C# for Win Forms application, I never did one for Web.

If you are interested in learning about ho to design controls look at the article at the bottopm of my post. I'm using a Dockable panel Manager as an example how to built components / controls using C#
Its really starting fro Zero for untrained people who just have read a basic C# book. It contains 7 lectures in the moment with lots of pictures and full code also attached in a zip after every lecture.

If you have specific needs for how to design a control feel free to ask.

You need to switch on the signature feature in your CG settings. Its in the last line of my signature. As lots of people have additional good information in their signature it will generally give you some more information to have it switched on
