I have OCX in vc++ and i am doing a Web based project in Visual studio 2008,C#.I created Object for ocx and call the methods of ocx through Java script in my c# application.I am running my project through IIS .But i have one error
"ActiveX control not loaded.Set your browser Internet options to allow ActiveX download!"

To run ocx what certifications and settings need in IIS.
Can you please give me a complete solution to run ocx . (as soon as possible.)

If you want a complete solution try advertizing for someone in the jobs section. Otherwise I recommend reading the Posting Guidelines. Thanks.

OCX components are considered ActiveX components.

These components are considered to be Unsafe because they are able to access and control the user's operating system.

These controls are downloaded and automatically executed from the web. Since they can contain anything, naturally you can see that they could be used by malicious individuals.

This is why you are getting this message.
The user is informed that your web page is using ActiveX and that it may cause harm to their computer.

I would recommend against using ActiveX controls when developing web applications; however, there is a way to mark your ActiveX controls as safe.
I haven't been sucessful in getting this to work but there are articles out there like this one that can get you pointed in the right direction.

This forum is all about helping you in developing your own solutions. We will point you in the right direction however the experts here will never give out complete solutions to your problems.
