    ActiveX Control on Web Page


    I have VB6 ActiveX document application.

    I know I can't upgrade directly to VB.NET.

    How can I allow the user to use IE as user interface in VB.NET?

    I know a Web Form is the way to go but I have 3rd party ActiveX controls
    I MUST use.

    How can I write a VB.NET app which will run in a browser AND support ActiveX
    controls?

    Thanks in advance.

    Re: ActiveX Control on Web Page


    Both WebForms and WinForms allow you to continue to use ActiveX controls.
    A Winforms Form can act as an ActiveX host site. Additionally, the AXHost
    class exposes the ActiveX control as a winforms control.
    WebForms still spit out HTML, and you can imbed ActiveX controls in it as
    usual.
