I'm trying to embed a winform control into an HTML page and I don't seem to be getting anywhere..

I've put the following object tag in the body of the HTML document

<object id="UpdateControl11"
classid="http://lafdev2/reportControl/TSG.RiskManagement.RiskManagementControl.dll#TSG.RiskManagement.RMMain" width=100%
height=100%>

When I open the web page there is just a box there with no control in it. I try to attach to the IExplorer process to debug and the
constructor is never called yet the assembly is in my download cache. Is there anything else that I need to do to create this
control? Also, can I use javascript and VB script to set properties on this object once it is in the web page?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Scott
 
Yes, it works fine in a winform. The assembly doesn't reference any other assemblies (Except those in the framework) and it is
signed. I also have an entry for it to run with full trust (Corresponding to the key the assembly is signed with).

Yes, that link just brings up Whidbey stuff :(

Oh yeah, the assembly also get loaded into the download cache, so I know it's at least getting the assembly part...
