What is te future of com and activex?

Does the inability in .net to add activex components like in VB6
signal Microsoft's plans to deprecate com and activex?

Actually you can use COM/ActiveX in VB.NET - .NET creates Interops to
handle communication between the components.

However, I guess Microsoft is expecting you to move away from COM/ActiveX
because for the most part it's unmanaged.

As more .NET components become available, we may see a drop in the
popularity of COM components. Then again, COM components with within the
..NET framework and outside of the .NET framework... so I doubt COM or
ActiveX will go away anytime soon.

Hi all, I'm developing a C# .Net Windows Forms application, and am trying to "host" mshtml. Observing ItWriting control (http://www.itwriting.com/htmleditor/index.php), I saw it implements OLE2 interfaces to host the mshtml control. Mshtml was written to be used through OLE, so that's it: If you're trying to 'host' a control you need to emulate the environment for which the control was written.

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,...
