    How do I create an ActiveX like control in Vb.net?

    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...)

    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 !
    WM.

    What about weapons of mass construction?

    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?
