.Net components in DHTML?

[Kevin Chabot]

Hi,

Maybe some of you remember. In VB6 it was possible to create a Document
ActiveX component.
This would be an ActiveX EXE file, that can be loaded from a DHTML webpage
(using <object> for example).
Can a similar thing be done in VB.Net?

I don't seem to find any resources to do this and it can't use ASP or
something, it should be able to run from a local HTML file.

Kind regards,
Kevin Chabot

Yes, I see...

But how do I create/init a UI?
And how do I use it in HTML...
Does anyone have a good resource on this?

Kind Regards,

The possibilities are very limited:
