How to Embed Windows.Forms.P rogressBar in WebForm

Mehr H

I've been trying to figure out how i can embed a Windows.Forms.P rogressBar
in my webform (aspx) file.
I have tried putting a Windows.Forms.P rogressBar as public on a regular
winform designer form (form called ProgressForm) and the built the dll.
Then I reference this new assembly from within my asp.net applicaiton and
tried to access Windows.Forms.P rogressBar from within the ProgressForm but
apparently it doesn't work.
Because it won't let me add the control to my aspx control collection
because:

C:MyProject\MyH ostingWebForm.a spx.cs(29): Argument '1': cannot convert
from 'System.Windows .Forms.Progress Bar' to 'System.Web.UI. Control'

The error message above makes sense but then i'm really not sure how else to
embed this control.

Please Help!
Thanks!

The control collection of ASP.NET is a collection of System.Web.UI.C ontrol
objects, which your progress bar is not. If you want to do embedded
WinForms, use an HTML object tag. Sample here:

When the Windows control is hosted in a windows form (for testing purposes) the full path is displayed. Is there some setting that will allow the full path to be displayed...

In the good old days I believe people were using the arcane technology which came to be known as COM+ to embed other application's document in their own document. Like a Word with document a Windows Media Player or Excel or Visio document inside, double click on it and *bang* you coud start edit it using Excel/WMP/Visio toolbar. Apparently even OpenOffice could do that.
