if you subscribe to the asp.netpro magazine, jeff prosise wrote an article
about last year that has full source code on that kind of implementation.
basically, he uses a windows control and embeds it into a webform. after
hooking it up for automation, the results are impressive.

would you have any suggestions on example articles for this. I never
really
got much into vb6. I started with .net. I think I'm looking for
something
that opens up in a "windows form" window to show status/progress for
upload/download.
I noticed that Microsoft uses cab files too then. I'm just having a hard
time finding GOOD information about this stuff.

One approach is to dust off the vb6 compiler and get cracking. it fully
supports activeX controls. once the control is built, simply embed it in
a
webpage via the object tag.
