How to create Activex control with visual studio ??

[Guest]

I have a dll written in visual basic.net, I need to run this dll on client's
machine, so if i need to wrap it as an activex control to be downloaded on
client's machine how can i do this using visual studio 2003 or 2005 other
than visual basic 6 or visual c++ ??

In .NET (using VS.NET2002/2003/2005), you cannot make ActiveX controls. The
close counter part in .NET is Win Form User Control, which you can use
inside IE in the similar way as ActiveX control.

HI,
I am interested in this topic. Can Win Form User Control start a local
application and open socket to a third web as same as ActiveX?

Thanks
