Using OCX control in C#

[vhassan]

Hi, My project has layered architecture. Business logic has separate project and in this project I have to use some registered OCX method. Current situation: In presentation layer I have window forms. It is easy to add OCX control in toolbox and draw it on any form. Object of drawn OCX control can be used for calling its methods. But I don't want to do it in presentation layer. I have following question: Should I manually add reference of OCX in business logic project? If yes then how I can use it in cs files? Please tell me how to call method of OCX without having forms. That means no creation of control at design time. Thanks. Hassan Nisar

You probably need to create an interface which exposes few methods that acts like facade methods. This methods should eventually call the methods on the control. With this, your business logic project will not be aware of the OCX controls. You can inject this interface instance into your business classes from the presentation layer.

Best wishes, Navaneeth
