Sammut,

No, it is not. Controls in .NET can not be exported as ActiveX
controls. Chris Sells has a workaround, but it is extremely unsupported.
You can find it here:

Hope this helps.

AFAIK it (the workaround you mentioned) is supported for IE and MFC
containers:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is.../WindowsForms/
Quote:
"While neither Visual Basic 6.0 nor ATL is officially supported in version
1.1 either, the Windows Forms team did a full test cycle on hosting Windows
Forms controls as COM controls in MFC 7.1-the version of MFC that comes with
Visual Studio .NET 2003-and it is now an officially supported unmanaged
host."

I guess manually implementing the COM interfaces neccessary for an ActiveX
control is possible, too; But that's probably more work than porting the
client to .net.
