Hello and thank you in advance for your help.
Can anyone think of a reason why this code would work properly on one PC,
but not another?
I've got a System.Windows.Forms.UserControl that products events which I
want to consume (sink) within Internet Explorer.
I'm following the instructions at:
ms-http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=313891.
On one computer, Internet Explorer can call methods on the UserControl and
can sink events generated by this managed code.
Using the same code on another computer, Internet Explorer can call methods
on this UserControl, but can not sink the events this managed code is
generating.
The UserControl is written in Visual Studio 2003 using C#. The framework
version is "v1.1.4322" on both computers.
The operating system on the computer where the code works (call methods on
the UserControl + sink events generated by the UserControl in IE) is: XP sp2
+ all the latest Windows Updates.
The operating system on the computer where the code does NOT work (call
methods on the UserControl only) is: XP sp1 + all the latest Windows Updates.
Here's a copy of the C# UserControl code:
