windows form controls in place of web controls in .net 2.0

[Bryan ZM]

I saw a sample app at the VS live conference in San Francisco this year, they
had a gridview control on a web form, but when .net 2.0 was detected on the
PC it actually rendered a .net form control in place of the web control.

I am playing around with beta 2 and trying to replicate that behavior. Does
anyone know how to do this????

Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks!

I haven't seen the presentation you saw, but...
You can check the CLR version with this property:
Request.Browser.ClrVersion.Major

You can embed a windows forms control in an ASP.NET form with HTML like
this:
<OBJECT id="MyControl1" height="20" width="192"

classid="http:MyCustom.dll#MyNamespace.MyClassName ">

<PARAM NAME="Backcolor" VALUE="blue">

You have an unsupported browser.

</OBJECT>

Here's more info:

the simple method is to test the agent string (or browsercaps) for .net
support. then render the page different. i belive this will fail if the user
turns active/x support off on the browser. the safe method, is to write a
sniffer page that detects .net supported by creating a small control, and
returning the success to the server.
