Hi,

I read that is possible to use a ocx in a framework 2 application

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa446514.aspx
but can anyone know a small tutorial to do this ?

That article doesn't cover how to host ActiveX controls, instead it
discusses how to host native Win32 GUI controls in a .NET CF application.

The article "Hosting ActiveX Controls in the .NET Compact Framework 2.0"
available on MSDN at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa446515.aspx may be of more
interest to you.

Hosting ActiveX controls is not the most trivial thing to do. Also be
aware that you can not directly use an OCX designed for use on your
desktop PC, you will need a version of the ActiveX control that has been
specially compiled for your mobile device.

Hope this helps,
