Hi
Thank u for the reply .
I think we are doing different things..
my user control is compiled in a class library , and embeded in the web page using object tag.
That way , it functions as an activex (required since i need to access client's computer)
I cannot use the user control for calling its public functions from the web page code behind..this control even does not appear in the aspx file , except in the object tag..

Anyway .. I need to know whether such an activeX can call the functions of a web service..
cause till now i failed to communicate with it via the hosting web page

any help will be highly appreciated
