What is the best approach?

Hello, friends,

We need to create a user control (COM) in which it should be able to
retrieve binary data from a given website after a user selects an item ID and
clicks Retrive button.

We then can put this user control in a html page (generated by .asp page) so
that internet users can use our data stored in our web server.

Any reference paper or sample source code?

Thanks a lot...

(We thought about DCOM, but it does not sound like a good approach nowadays,
right?)

Why use a custom COM object at all?

Use msxml2.XMLHttp object to post a query to an ASP page and have that ASP
page return XML.

The client machines will only need a browser and not custom ActiveX
controls.
