Use .NET windows control in COM windows form

[Guest]

I want to create a .NET windows user control that I can use in a Visual Basic
6.0 or Power Builder 9 application. I created a new Windows Control Library,
set the property "Register for COM Interop" = True, and created a strong name
and set the "Wrapper Assembly Key File" file to it. When I try to add the
control to my VB 6.0 or PB app, I get an error stating that the component
"was not registerable as an ActiveX compoent". I know I'm missing something,
but I can't seem to find any information on this.

Hi Ed,

The problem is that Register for COM Interop does create all registry
entries necessary for controls. This article talks about thi:
