Question about MSINET.OCX

[John]

Hi Lucy

I have found that msinet.ocx is more trouble than it is worth. See if you
can use something else like Microsoft.XMLHTTP to accomplish what you are
trying to do.

I use MSINET.OCX in my VB.NET applicatoin. I've registered (by regsvr32)
and
added it into reference for COM interop. The application works at the PC
with both VB 6 and VS.NET installed. But it fails with error "Class is not
licensed for use" in the PC with VS.NET installed only.

Does anyone know whether I have anything missed?
Thank you very much!

Its best to use something else, .NET native and avoid OCX's. What are you trying to accomplish
exactly?

In fact, I'm upgrading an application from VB 6 to VS.NET. This application
needs to upload & download files via FTP with the help of MSINET.OCX. Due to
the time limitation, I would like to keep to use OCX.
Thanks for John's advice. I would take a look of Microsoft.XMLHTTP to see if
it is suitable for me.

XMLHTTP will not help you with FTP trasnfers. Try Indy, its free and open source:

It supports FTP and can readily be used in VB.NET.
