“Java applets” like!

[Teo]

I have developed user controls and web controls with .net., and I wonder if it is possible to write “Client Controls” that run on the client’s IE just like Java Applets using .net? The control needs to have rich functionality (canvas to draw, communication with WEB services, etc), not just JavaScript. Thanks

In case of Java applets, jar or class file is downloaded on client machine and JVM (or JIT) runs it. Right? Yes, you can do same kind of thing (but a bit differnt too) in .NET. You can use ActiveX controls. Draw Back: .NET frame work should be installed on client (.NET frame work, about 20 MB file, and right now it is not as common as JVM or JIT is... but future is +ve). --------------------- A gasp of breath, A sudden death: The tale begun.
