Internet Explorer 6.0 for Windows CE 4.2

[Harald]

Hi,

I am not able to run a .Net Compact Framework Windows Forms Control in
Internet Explorer 6.0 for Windows CE 4.2. Does anybody now when there will
be support for this in Internet Explorer?

Since .Net Compact Framework does not support COM interop, it is not
possible to export an activex interface for the Windows Forms Control.

As a work-around, I have been considering the following: an activex which
invokes the .Net Compact Framework Common Language Runtime, which again
invokes the desired Windows Forms Control. Is there such an API for the
Common Language Runtime on Windows CE 4.2?

Best Regards,
Harald

As it was announced during PDC, the next version of CF
will support COM interop, but it's not known weather it's
going to allow running CF component in IE.

There's no such API's in the current version of CF
therefore it's not possible to do.

So even if CF supports COM interop and I export the ActiveX interface for
the CF control it will not run in IE? I.e. the IE does not have the CF CLR?
Do know the time frame for the next version of CF?

The CF v2.0 will be released with the next version of
VS.NET "Whidbey" which is at least a year away.
