How to create C# Control for any language
-
Hi all, How to create a C# control (using VC# 2008 .Net) which can be used in any language (mainly in VC++ 2008 .Net)? Please guide me. I appreciate any and all comments and suggestions. Thanks in advance. Regards, Aniket A. Salunkhe
Any control you create in C#, or even VB.NET, can be used by the other .NET languages. You have to add a reference to the .dll containing your control.

How to add reference to .dll in MFC Application using VC++.Net 2008? And even after adding reference in MFC Application, how to add/use custom ActiveX Control? Scenario is, ActiveX Control in VC#.Net 2008 as 'Windows Form Control Library'. Application in VC++.Net 2008 as 'MFC Application' (as I am doing DirectShow programming in it). When I try to add my ActiveX Control through 'Insert ActiveX Control', it doesn't show it in that list. When I try to register the control using 'regsvr32.exe' it shows error as, DllRegisterServer Failed Thanks & Regards, Aniket A. Salunkhe

What is a C# control? If you build a library using C#, then all public classes in that library can be consumed by any of the .NET languages.

That's really fun. I suggest you google that one, it's involved and there's articles how to achieve it.

I want to add my 'Windows Form Control Library' (i.e. VC#.Net 2008 ActiveX Control) in my MFC Application of VC++.Net 2008. Thanks & Regards, Aniket A. Salunkhe

I don't know about ActiveX controls, but an ActiveX control written in c# should work just like any other ActiveX control... that's what they're designed to do :) Mark

Hi all, I found something to work with MFC application, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b1kyh79x.aspx[^] Thanks for your support too. Now I am trying to integrate it with my MFC Application & Control, as I want to add mutiple control dynamically in MFC Dialog. But I appreciate any other better suggestions. Thanks & Best Regards, Aniket A. Salunkhe

I guess I'm confused - do you need an ActiveX control or a Windows Forms control?

What is difference between these 2? I want to create a UserControl in C#. eg Analog Clock Control in C# with some properties.
ActiveX controls are OLE (COM) objects. Windows Forms controls are based on classes in the System.Windows.Forms namespace of the .NET framework. There's tons of documentation on creating and using both... Introduction to ActiveX Controls[^] Developing Custom Windows Forms Controls with the .NET Framework[^]
