Actually you can use COM/ActiveX in VB.NET - .NET creates Interops to
handle communication between the components.
However, I guess Microsoft is expecting you to move away from COM/ActiveX
because for the most part it's unmanaged.
As more .NET components become available, we may see a drop in the
popularity of COM components. Then again, COM components with within the
..NET framework and outside of the .NET framework... so I doubt COM or
ActiveX will go away anytime soon.
