VB.net DLLs in ASP.NET

Hi,

In a controlled corporate environment, I'm looking to place VB.NET controls onto an ASP.NET webpage ..

I've been able to place a reference to the object, but it displays as a 'blank' text box (not my control) .... Can anybody provide a good example of this?

Thanks,
Tim

Interesting .. I've found by adding the .NET class, it didn't work, i.e.

Code:

---

<object id="simpleControl1" classid="http:SimpleControl.dll#Microsoft.Samples.WinForms.Cs.SimpleControl.SimpleControl" height="300" width="300" VIEWASTEXT>

        <param name="Text" value="Simple Control">

</object>

---

but by setting the control project to register for COM interop, then adding the class id, it works: e.g.

Code:

---


<OBJECT classid="clsid:0C1A4C6F-5D33-31A3-8E36-918A76DD9518" VIEWASTEXT>

Surely the .NET object reference would have been more relevant to ASP.NET! Will keep investigating, but if anybody else has a tip please let me know...

Cheers,
Tim

problem 1 : No // in your http

http://blah

problem 2 no web site listed to get that dll from

http://mysite.com/control.dll#blah.blah.blah

Thanks Cander,

And to think I copied that from the Microsoft help site ... :rolleyes:

ASP.NET did seem to recognise that the class existed but didn't render it properly ..

If I place the following into the form, It puts up an unknown object reference:

Code:

---

<OBJECT id="simpleControl2" style="WIDTH: 714px; HEIGHT: 300px" height="300" width="714" classid="http://localhost/FocusDespatch/FocusDespatchOCX.DLL#FocusDespatchOCX.FDispatch" VIEWASTEXT>
</OBJECT>

---

If I place the following into the form, it places a 'blank' text box:

Code:

---

<OBJECT id="simpleControl1"  height="300" width="714" classid="FocusDespatchOCX.FDispatch" VIEWASTEXT>
</OBJECT>

---

It also recognises the object (I think?) because it adds the data component ...

Code:

---

                        <OBJECT id="simpleControl1" style="WIDTH: 714px; HEIGHT: 300px" height="300" width="714" data="data:application/x-oleobject;base64,IGkzJfkDzxGP0ACqAGhvEzwhRE9DVFlQRSBIVE1MIFBVQkxJQyAiLS8vVzNDLy9EVEQgSFRNTCA0LjAgVHJhbnNpdGlvbmFsLy9FTiI+DQo8SFRNTD48SEVBRD4NCjxNRVRBIGh0dHAtZXF1aXY9Q29udGVudC1UeXBlIGNvbnRlbnQ9InRleHQvaHRtbDsgY2hhcnNldD13aW5kb3dzLTEyNTIiPg0KPE1FVEEgY29udGVudD0iTVNIVE1MIDYuMDAuMjgwMC4xMTcwIiBuYW1lPUdFTkVSQVRPUj48L0hFQUQ+DQo8Qk9EWT4NCjxQPiZuYnNwOzwvUD48L0JPRFk+PC9IVE1MPg0K" classid="FocusDespatchOCX.FDispatch" VIEWASTEXT>
                        </OBJECT>

Any ideas? If it can recognise and render the object using the class id, but recognise and not render using the class name - is there something wrong here??
