Safe Control/Applet for Internet Explorer

Wayne Gibson

Hi,
was wondering if anybody could help.

I'm looking to create a control that I can embed in a web browser, be it
Internet Explorer or FireFox.
I know that these used to be ActiveX's when using VB or VC. Or they were
Java applets when using Java.

What is the new method when using C#?
Is it possible to have it download automatically without informing the user?
Are there any example projects about ?

Many thanks

You mean to circumvent the chosen security setting of the client machine? Is
this a good idea?

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
