asp.net control to run in web page like just COM

[vikas]

Hi All,

I need to run a ASP.NET (C#) native compiled binary on a web page. COM
runs using a OBJECT tag, I need to know how can a .net control run in
the same manner. If possible, what are the browser constraints if any.

Regards,
Vikas

Are you trying to use Windows Forms Controls in Internet Explorer?

Thanks Ken!

Just one query, the classid has "http:SimpleControl.dll#" - what url is
that? Does the web user should alrweady have the control installed?
SimpleControl.dll is not a domain name. or does it assume the file is in
the current directory? can i write
"http://somwewhere.com/dlls/control.dll#assembly.control"?

Yes, you can use windows forms controls within ASP.NET applications. There
are some security (and other) limitations that you should be aware of, and
the syntax must be very precise. I've detailed this information here:
