The suggestion is to still use ActiveX if the app must be hosted in a browser.
Now you can use managed code to write ActiveX controls, but it's not supported
that well. And from the browser's perspective it's still a COM object, so
your managed component needs to be wrapped up as a COM component. Also, this
would meanyou need the .NET Framework installed on the client machine. And
if you're going to do that, then I'd say skip all this hassle and just build
a Click-Once app.

http://staff.develop.com/ballen What is the .NET equivalent to the old ActiveX or is there any? I
have an ASP.NET appliction and I need to build a control or something
to access a program on a server from a client machine without going
through the web server. I'm using VB.NET for my code behind. Any
suggestions?
Thanks
