[RESOLVED] ActiveX exe

[Muddy]

Regarding;

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ualbasic70.asp

How can a class library be the equivelant of an Active X exe if you it compiles to a dll? Can you execute the resulting dll like an exe (I wouldnt think so)? What am I missing?

Why would MSFT get rid of, with dot net, the concept of being able to develop an executable that has a programming interface (ie ActiveX exe) when so many of their products are just that ...

I really want to "get with the times" and jump on the dot net bandwagon ... but I really need to be able to build an exe that can be run standalone or accessed programatically through a programming interface.

Is there a dot net solution for me???

Thanks for any help!
