  This article was a lifesaver and it was able to implement it successfully. Now that I have a reference to Bytescout.scan.dll in my project from http://bytescout.com/products/developer/scansdk/bytescoutscansdk.html. After compiling I copied ActivexDotNet.dll and Bytescout.scan.dll to server Now when I request the same page the active object is not visible in the web-page. please help.

  Dear Sir, After following your guides, I made a simple "ActiveX control" with VB.Net. And it ran successfully when I put it on IIS 5.0 with .Net Framework. Then I did two experiments, each of the ActiveX control was built by .Net 1.1 and .Net 2.0. I put them on IIS with .Net Framework 1.1 respectively, and they could go well. (Internet Explorer 7.0, .Net Framework 1.1 and 2.0 were all installed on remote client) That means IIS with .Net Framework doesn't care that if the ActiveX control runs in the same .Net Framework version. In this architecture, IIS plays a role that only delivers the DLL to the client. The key are Internet Explorer and the .Net Framework on the client, which provide an environment for the ActiveX DLL after downloading. However IIS is not very critical in this architecture, it still couldn't work independently. In the beginning, I consider that IIS could work without .Net Framework. But, if I put the same ActiveX DLL on another IIS which is without .Net Framework, it would fail completely. Even the client with .Net Framework could download the DLL from the IIS directly; the ActiveX control couldn't be launched. I just want to ask... How can I deploy ".Net ActiveX control" on IIS without .Net Framework? Could it be possible? Thanks for your patient!

  Good Day, I am looking for a way to build an embedable OLE object (with properties events etc) which can be used in Microsoft Office documents (such as Excel). Could you please point me in the right direction. Thank you,

  I noticed that if I alter my ActiveX Control it didnt show properly in IE. I had to run "gacutil.exe /cdl" to clear the donwload cache and then it works. But when I run my ActiveX Control in IE I can't debug it. I'm using webservice inside my ActiveX and it does not run correctly inside the TestContainer in Visual Studio. Any tips about this?

  I've made my UC (vb.net) and it's embeded in the webpage. But I'm having issues with a DLL that that UC uses. For some reason, it's not recognising the references I have. (it is on design time, but not run time) any suggestions?

    Hi, I'm having a problem with this. Followed the example, enabled COM Interop etc in the application build, created the interface etc. But, when I add the object tag into a webpage, the ActiveX control just shows up as an edit box. The control has "full trust" privelages on my development machine, so it's not the CAS security I'm sure that's causing this. Any ideas of how to get round this? Many thanks.
