Use an ActiveX Control from a C# Function?

Short Version of Question:

Can anyone provide an example of how I should embed the ActiveX and license,
and then use it in a function?


LongerVersion:
I am attempting to convert an asp file to a asp.net file using C#.

The original file has an ActiveX control which is contained in a cab file.

The cab file contains the .ocx file which connects to a socket and transfers
client info to a server, as well as several .dlls

The cab file also references another cab file which contains files to
install on the client machine in case they do not have VBRuntime6 installed
on their machine.

We have obtained a Microsoft license for the ActiveX control.

My problem is, how to call or reference the control in my .net page. I have
researched and am doing what I have seen, but am getting errors.

The original code has the ActiveX embedded in the html like so:
<form runat="server" name="trade_ent ry_verify" method="post">
..
..
..
<P>
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid: blah_blah_blah"
id="Microsoft_L icensed_Class_M anager_1_0"1 VIEWASTEXT>
<PARAM NAME="LPKPath" VALUE="NAME.lpk ">
</OBJECT>
<OBJECT id=IDNAME2 height=0 width=0
classid=clsid:b lah_blah_blah codeBase="CABNA ME.CAB#version= 1,0,0,0"
VIEWASTEXT>
<PARAM NAME="_ExtentX" VALUE="873">
<PARAM NAME="_ExtentY" VALUE="847">
</OBJECT>
</P>
..
..
..
</form>


One of the functions is like so (note- : trade_entry_ver ify is the form
name):
<script language="vbscr ipt">
..
..
..
function doSubmit()
trade_entry_ver ify.IDNAME2.Clo seSocket
trade_entry_ver ify.IDNAME2.Hos tAddress = "ip.address.0.0 "
trade_entry_ver ify.IDNAME2.Por t = "portnum"
Result = trade_entry_ver ify.citcp2.Conn ectToHost
end function
..
..
..
</script>


In my C# code, I have embedded the two objects in the html as shown above
since the examples I have found seem to do the same.

Yet, when I try to preview the page in IE, I get the following error:

Compiler Error Message: BC30451: Name 'trade_entry_ve rify' is not declared.

Source Error:
Line 85:
Line 86: function doSubmit()
Line 87: trade_entry_ver ify.CITCP2.Clos eSocket
Line 88: trade_entry_ver ify.CITCP2.Host Address = "ipaddressI use"
Line 89: trade_entry_ver ify.CITCP2.Port = "2000"

trade_entry_ver ify is simply the form name, so I tried removing it and then
I get:
Compiler Error Message: BC30451: Name 'CITCP2' is not declared.

Source Error:
Line 85:
Line 86: function doSubmit()
Line 87: CITCP2.CloseSoc ket
Line 88: CITCP2.HostAddr ess = "ipaddressI use"
Line 89: CITCP2.Port = "2000"

for this page, to get started and for testing purposes, I simply cut and
pasted the VBScript function within the script tags. Ultimately, I wish to
rewrite it as C#.

Can anyone provide an example of how I should embed the ActiveX and license,
and then use it in a function? Any help would be really, really appreciated.

Hi all, I have an ActiveX control developed in Visual C++ 6.0 that I want to use in a C# project. I want the ActiveX code to run on a separate thread, but can't seem to get it to work. If for example my ActiveX member has an infinite loop, the .NET app gives all processing to the ActiveX and never returns, not even to redraw the window. Here is what I tried (in a nutshell): VC++ 6.0 OCX code: void CMyAXControlCtrl::Loop()

Any suggestions on how I should handle this? I was asked to convert a small web application that was written in classic ASP into ASP.NET. The original site uses some VBScript to interface with an ActiveX control, which is contained in a CAB file. Somehow, I have managed to use the original VBScript in a respective .NET page, but there are several problems.

Hello Philippe, In addition to bruce's points, I'd suggest the KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317392. It demonstrates how to host an ActiveX control in ASP.NET (for your first question), and points out that ActiveX control is a pure client-side control, the server-side code cannot access this control (for your second question). Server-side code can access only server controls, which are the controls that are listed on the Web...
