Anonymous3-Aug-02 12:51 Anonymous 3-Aug-02 12:51  I can't believe I've spent half a day surfing and reading and still haven't figured this out. What is the .Net equivallent of coding a VISUAL COMPONENT meant to run IN THE BROWSER. Nothing server-side, purely client-side. The server will be a simple, static HTML vending server, no ISS. What I need to do is the following, it should be simple, but seems impossible!!! - I need to place a legacy ActiveX control on a web page. - I need to author, in C#, a component which runs IN THE BROWSER and accesses the ActiveX component, through COM/Intertop generated assemblies (I'm hoping that if I just toss the interop dll's into the same cab as the compoent and it'll just work). Problem #1: I can't even figure out what the heck the .Net equivalent of an ActiveX control is, for running in the browser. At first it seemed like WebControls...but those have "runat=server"? Can somebody point me to some sample code, anywhere? I've coded up a simple WebControl, but can't figure out if it's the right best, and if it is even how to insert it into a HTML page! The samples I've found show them going into asp pages as script, that's not what I want obviously. I'm wondering if I am supposed to be using a regular .Net Framework Component and IE can host it? I only need IE support. Can IE6 support .Net framework components? Problem #2: Once I get the above working, it needs to be able to reference an ActiveX control which is also on the same page. How do I do this? Can I write some script in the webpage that "passes" the activeX control into the .net control? can the .net control enumerate items on the page and find it that way? How is this done, if at all? Thanks in advance, I've been stuck on this for far too long. Rhino Re: 6.Net equivalent of ActiveX control in browser? Todd Smith3-Aug-02 19:33 Todd Smith 3-Aug-02 19:33  I could be wrong but I haven't seen "Creating a COM object in C#". I've seen C# wrappers for existing COM objects and using COM objects from C# but not creating COM objects in C#. I believe you'll have to use either VB or C++ to create an ActiveX/COM object. A WebControl in C# is something that generates HTML output and runs server side. It's not the same as an ActiveX which typically runs client side. Todd Smith Re: 6.Net equivalent of ActiveX control in browser? James T. Johnson4-Aug-02 4:34 James T. Johnson 4-Aug-02 4:34  It is quite possible to expose .NET objects as COM objects. Chris Sells does this with his CollectionGen utility[^]. By default all types are exposed to COM, but this can be changed by applying the ComVisible(false) attribute to the assembly, class, method, field, or property. That said, .NET doesn't really replace ActiveX in the browser it just provides another way of doing it. Now if he wanted to show a user control inside the browser, that is possible; but I'm not sure how its done (this is the only supported way of using a .NET control in an ActiveX container). From what he said though I think he wants an activex control that will output HTML from his input. It should be possible but you still have to go through all the work involved of implementing the correct interfaces.

Rocky Moore3-Aug-02 21:58 Rocky Moore 3-Aug-02 21:58  If you plan to code a control that will run on the client's computer using any of the languages in .NET or the .NET framework, then the client side will have to have .NET installed for it to be able to work. You cannot code Active-X type controls for Win32 with the .NET tools. Rocky Moore Re: 6.Net equivalent of ActiveX control in browser? Anonymous4-Aug-02 3:01 Anonymous 4-Aug-02 3:01  I understand that I can't code ActiveX components with .Net. I understand that users will have to have the framework installed. I guess I wasn't clear. What I'm asking is what in .net framework is REPLACING our old abiliity to code activeX controls in the browser, so we can have thick/rich/smart web apps? Is it .Net Framework Components? Is it Windows Forms? I've learned (the hard way) that it is not WebControls, even though the name seems 100% accurate. I would think that a visual .Net Framework Component / Control would be the answer, that seems to be the most direct replacement of the ActiveX control, but I can't figure out how to embed one in a browser. I did find a way to embed a Windows Form in a browser, this seems to be the "replacement" I've been looking for, but there is no way that I've found to pass it in an ActiveX control via JS (or no way for it to find it itself), yet it is 100% able to host them itself. Either I'm missing something, or this seems like an interoperability / design deficiency. Ryan Re: 6.Net equivalent of ActiveX control in browser? Todd Smith4-Aug-02 3:20 Todd Smith 4-Aug-02 3:20  There is no "replacement" for ActiveX controls in .NET. A lot of .NET is designed just to make web programming easier/better/faster. A Windows Form is just using IE/HTML to create a GUI instead of using MFC or Win32. Maybe if you explained what problem you're trying to solve we could be of more assistance. At the moment it doesn't sound like .NET fits your needs. Todd Smith Re: 6.Net equivalent of ActiveX control in browser? James T. Johnson4-Aug-02 4:41 James T.

James "Java is free - and worth every penny." - Christian Graus Re: 6.Net equivalent of ActiveX control in browser? Anonymous4-Aug-02 6:00 Anonymous 4-Aug-02 6:00  I got close by trying a worksaround, but it's not quite working unfortunately. I got the idea from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/07/NetSmartClients/default.asp What I did was create a Windows Form which has the Active X instance on it. It actually works for some ActiveX controls, unfortunately the one I need can't be created when running under IEExec.exe due to threading model issue, it throws and IllegalThreadStateException or some such: "Additional information: Could not instantiate ActiveX control 'fa13a9fa-ca9b-11d2-9780-00104b242ea3' because the current thread is not in a single-threaded apartment." Does anybody know how to work around this latest snag? The .exe runs fine normally, but not through IE / IEExec.exe. Altering the threading model of the ActiveX is not an option, it's a vendors and I don't have the source. So far what I've done is really easy, just build any old Windows Form application, then put the exe and all required associated assemblies up on a webserver. IE 5.5/6.0 can launch it directly and run via IEExec.exe, as long as .Net framework is installed. Thanks, Ryan Re: 6.Net equivalent of ActiveX control in browser? Anonymous4-Aug-02 10:45 Anonymous 4-Aug-02 10:45  I GOT IT ALL WORKING!!! I had to manage the thread creation myself, IEExec.exe does not honor the STAThread attribute. So basically I have a .Net Windows Form application, running in the browser (sorta), hosting a legacy ActiveX control, and it all works. Thanks for all the help.

Re: Attribute Usage Andy Smith3-Aug-02 6:24 Andy Smith 3-Aug-02 6:24  Attributes allow you to specify extra information about a class or its members without making that stuff part of the interface. The PropertyGrid control, for example, uses attributes to know what Category to place each property in, by examining the CategoryAttribute on the property. The usage is wide open... and it's just up to you to come up with new and interesting ways to make it benefit you. Hmm... this couldn't be right.... Ryan Cromwell2-Aug-02 8:29 Ryan Cromwell 2-Aug-02 8:29  OK the code below is puzzling me. i have this nice little static member that loads pluggins based on a Type object. It does all of this fine, gets everything I want, yada yada... then i get to using the object. I'm looking at the autos in the debugger right now and they say that pluggin, by itself, is of type SourceControl.SourceSafe, which DOES implement ISourceControlPluggin (these are my classes/interfaces) though it won't let me do the cast - keeps yelling at me. Anyone have anything - i'm sure i'm just being blinded by the weekend... object[] pluggins = System.Pluggins.Pluggins.LoadPluggins( plugginsDir, typeof(ISourceControlPluggin) ); foreach(object pluggin in pluggins) { MessageBox.Show( this, ((ISourceControlPluggin)pluggin).Name ); }
