Active X Component to replace an ocx

[Lou]

How do I create a .NET ActiveX component that has a form to be hosted in a
non DotNet
environment.
Basically in VB6 I would have simply created an ActiveX ocx.

I think in dotnet they are called
"embedded controls"

try google with that search string instead. (or wait til someone else
responds)

I believe you cannot run the .Net control in a PC without .net environment.
You can have a wrapper class for the .Net control using in a non donet
application. However, you need dotnet framework at run-time.

Lou,

Here is some information on using a .Net form or user control in a VB6
application:

You could just create a dll with a COM interface , from the dll you can
start .Net forms

simple ,,, only thingy you can`t reproduce is the behavior of a out of
process component ( like in VB6 a activex exe )

Kerry that's exactly what I need. Can the application hosting the .NET
control be a C++ app instead of a VB6 app?
