Not able to download ActiveX control

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have created an application in .net 2008 in which I have used a ActiveX control to read smart card.

Now while development I was able to view and access my ActiveX control. Following is the way I have added it on my .aspx page

<object id="cardReader" name="cardReader" classid="../../MyControl.dll#MyControl.MyCardReader" enableviewstate="true"> </object>

Now I published my site and trying to access it using server ip. I am able to access all the pages but not able to see Activex control on card Reader page.

I hope my question is clear.. :-(

I know in order to download ActiveX controls on the browser you need to do some setting on Tool - Internet Options - Security , those are done on my machine. Also the ip through which I am accessing my site is added as trusted sites.

I am using IE8.

Can anyone let me know what is going wrong here?

Thanks in advance

If you need more explanation... please let me know (I need to fugure out this issue as early as possible).

Not enough information and nothing surprising -- missing this control of server, that's it. How can you imagine any help based on your information. Just get your hands dirty and find all the ends.

Here is the paradox: if you find all the ends needed to make this question informative enough to become answerable (please see my comment above), you can come to the solution by yourself, so no answer would be needed.

Just try it.

Good luck,

I had following workaround for above question.

Created a single page application which will have the object tag as follows:
<object id="cardReader" name="cardReader" classid="MyControl.dll#MyControl.MyCardReader" enableviewstate="true"></object>

Created a different Virtual directory for above application and hosted on the server
and that page is added as source in the iframe as follows:
<iframe src="http://[SERVER IP]/[VIRTUAL DIRECTORY]/default.aspx" id="ifrmReadCard" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:0px;height:35px;></iframe>

This works fine for me.

[I know this is not the proper way and I am still in search of some correct solution]

Thanks
