use a .NET Windows Control in VB6.0 ???

[cmrchs]

Hi,

How do you use a .NET Windows Control in VB6.0 ?

Here's what I did so far :
- I've created a .NET Windows Control in Visual Studio.NET
- in the project properties I set the build setting : 'Register for COM Interop'
- build and registration OK (I've checked in the registry and the Control is there all right)

- I start VB6, right-click on the toolbox and select 'Components' but my .NET-control is nowhere to be seen ???

What am I missing here ?

thanks
Chris

How do you use a .NET Windows Control in VB6.0 ?

You can use VB.NET to create controls that can be used in MFC and Internet
Explorer, however, VB6 as host environment ist not supported:

ActiveX control containers that support .NET controls

Have you also tried to manually generate a TLB file using regasm.exe for
your assembly?
