ActiveX control behvaiour in VS 2005
-
To begin with, it might soudn like a programming question, but to me it seems to be something other than that hence I am posting it here: I have a ActiveX control created in VB 6 from a 3rd party and wanted to use it in ASP.Net/VB.Net but the control dosent expose APIs which could be called from ASp.Net/VB.Net. I tried invoking the function from javascript but later foudn that some functions on the OCX were not even exposed to javascript. So the tech support (who do not provide support for .Net) suggested that we create another wrapped OCX around theirs, and use that OCX within our web pages. So far so good. We did as they said, created our own OCX, doing whatever we wanted to. We then tested it out on .Net 1.1 and the control worked like a charm. But when we attemp to use the same control in VS 2005 (prfessional edition), the control does appear in teh toolbox pane, but is disabled, and does not allow itself to be placed on any page. in VS 2003 we are using it normally without any issues. Can you plz guide me as to what might be the problem.

Your best place for advice is here[^]. Good Luck. :cool: Chris Meech I am Canadian. [heard in a local bar] When I want privacy, I'll close the bathroom door.

I allowed myself to give his message a three and yours a 1 - the latter because the joke is rather old and the former because I don't think his question is a programming question... But then maybe I don't see it. I just wanted to let people know my reasoning behind my voting ;-) :~ runs for cover "Situation normal - all fu***d up" Illuminatus! My photos on flickr

Good reasoning and for what it's worth thanks for explaining your vote. But I think it speaks volumes that I'm getting more votes, good and bad, than the original poster has received replies.

I think the point is that most people here actually do see it as a programming question, that's why you get low scores on your initial request. Re-try your question in an appropriate forum and see what happens. Regards, mav -- Black holes are the places where god divided by 0...
