asp.net and ActiveX control

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm a long-time VB/VB.net developer but this is my first web development
experience. I've been tasked with hosting/rendering one of my company's
ActiveX controls on an ASP.net 2.0 web page. I'm also supposed to make calls
to the controls methods to log the user in. How do I host and render an
ActiveX control in a webform? Also, how do I interact with it once it's
hosted/rendered? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well you embed it using the same HTML you would in any web page, and then you
would manipulate it with client side script.

You can create the control via object tag or JavaScript.
The page can then call methods and properties of the ActiveX control (via
JavaScript) as if it was a standard HTML control.

Thanks Steve. I used the object tag and it's now working.
