asp.net assembly

[mehdi_mousavi]

Hi folks,
There are 2 ways to load an external program into users' browser (to be
activated on client-side), say, ActiveX Controls & Java Applets. Can we
add up ".NET Assemblies" to the mentioned list, too?

Any help would be highly appreciated,

Cheers,

This was sort of supported by v1.0 and v1.1, but both versions worked differently.
Also, this is an IE only thing, as the mechanism that makes it work is wrapping
up your assembly as a COM componenet. So from the browser's perspective it's
only an ActiveX control. I'd say it's a dead end approach, as it's not supported
in v2.0.

and require the user to install .NET?

Javascript in IE is powerful enough to perform most tasks.
