Winform in Web Page

[Scott Meddows]

I'm trying to embed a winform control into an HTML page and I don't seem to be getting anywhere..

I've put the following object tag in the body of the HTML document

<object id="UpdateControl11"
classid="http://lafdev2/reportControl/TSG.RiskManagement.RiskManagementControl.dll#TSG.RiskManagement.RMMain" width=100%
height=100%>

When I open the web page there is just a box there with no control in it. I try to attach to the IExplorer process to debug and the
constructor is never called yet the assembly is in my download cache. Is there anything else that I need to do to create this
control? Also, can I use javascript and VB script to set properties on this object once it is in the web page?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Scott

Is your windows control functioning correctly in a windows form? I used to
have a link, but it seems this link no longer works, you may trying
searching the site to see if you have more luck than me

Also, can I use javascript and VB script to set properties on this object
once it is in the web page?

Yes.

Yes, it works fine in a winform. The assembly doesn't reference any other assemblies (Except those in the framework) and it is
signed. I also have an entry for it to run with full trust (Corresponding to the key the assembly is signed with).

Yes, that link just brings up Whidbey stuff

Oh yeah, the assembly also get loaded into the download cache, so I know it's at least getting the assembly part...

An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in IEExec.exe
