Its Ok, I will give you the details, I am using an activeX control in a Windows class library. Then after passing from many hurdles I could able to compile it, register it and install it in GAC. It has become an assembly. By using the link http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/01/UserCtrl/, I tried to access it in to my web application as an <object..............> tag but, it is showing nothing. A red X symbol with empty control. Control is visible but not showing any thing in it.
Actually in the load event of the control assembly I wrote to access a word document. I am able to get it(the doc), when I use the same code in windows forms application. But whats wrong with this. Now I am afraid to ask "help", if you can otherwise as your choice. Thank you.

Don't be afraid to ask for help. That wasn't the problem that I had. It was cross-posting that I objected to. I was the person who went across to the Lounge yesterday to ask if anybody could help you.
Anyway, to your problem. Here's a typical .NET configuration:
<object id="dsoFramer1" classid="DsoFramerControl.dll#AkebonoSoft.DSO.Framer"
width = "600" height="300">
<object>
The classid portion is the critical one. The first part is obviously the name of your DLL in the GAC. The second part (the bit after the #) is the namespace and class that you have created. In this instance, the namespace is AkebonoSoft.DSO and the class is Framer.
Your object must look like that. Note that you may want to put some paremeters between the tags - that really depends on what your implementation looks like.
the last thing I want to see is some pasty-faced geek with skin so pale that it's almost translucent trying to bump parts with a partner - John Simmons / outlaw programmer
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

I have been trying in that way only, even I am not getting where I might have done the mistake. This problem is really hectic Pete. Why MS did this kind of mistake and put lot of security holes and installation headaches. May be for more user friedliness. I dont know.
Let me have a cup of tea and then think about this.

Really, I reaching the target Pete, I converted the ocx in to .Net assembly and put it in GAC to, it ia really big thing to do, any way I did it. But the only thing that is left is to display the word content in to it. If I could do that, then it means it is complete.
If you know tell me. Thank you in advance.

Last time. You did NOT convert the OCX to a .NET assembly. You mearly created a wrapper for it. You installed the wrapper into the GAC, but it won't work unless the original .OCX control is installed and registered also.

Pete could you please tell me what is Akebonosoft, DSO and Framer clearly and how they are created and their hierarchy and all. May be problem lies here only. If you could give me the data, I can analyse the things in better way.
One more question if you dont mind, when we install our assembly in to GAC, will it create some different name and how to access assmblies in our application which are installed in GAC. Will it store the assembly in to network server give some full details as much as you can.

The example I gave featured a fictitious namespace and class. AkebonoSoft just related to the name of your company and DSO was because it was the DSO framer control. I haven't forgotten your query - I've knocked together a quick sample and tried it (using an ActiveX control that I quickly created). Unfortunately, all I get appears to be an iframe, so I'm not sure what's going on there. If I get any further with it, I will let you know.

Does .NET Framework provide support for developing a Winsock LSP?
Thanks.

I don't have VS 2005 Pro installed on all of my workmachines I use thoughout the day (I currently have two cubicles in different buildings)
Anyway, I have downloaded VSTO but it looks like this will not work with any C# Express editions so here is my question:
Where can I find some C# code skeletons for starting a Outlook 2003 Add-in, one which can be developed in VS C# 2005 Pro and Express?

Good luck, bro!
Btw.: What is that "DSO Framer"? Does it worth the effort? Just curious....

It's an activeX document container that among other things can be used to host office documents. He's made a number of posts trying to find a replacement in the past.

Hi Don,
Yeah the purpose of this control is really great the idea of micro soft. But the problem is it has been given as an activeX control, which contains unmanaged code and contains security flaws in it. Thats the problem is. Thank you.

Hi,
I had developed shared add-in in visual studio .net 2003 as, project type is shared Add-in from -- other project\Extensibility project\shared Add-in type.
I had add references as dll in it using 'add references' it gives me three options as '.net','com','project' in that using com I had add references...
Same thing I had try on visual studio .net 2005 with the same project type, it gives me problem to add references as it shows only 'project' option in 'add references' and not 'com' & '.net' !!!
So how should I add references here??
Please help me!
Thanks,
Shyam

I'm not working at home, so I can't check it exactly but when I add references in VS2005I get a dialog with 3 or 4 tabbs, showing .com project or recently used (something like that). I also see a browse tab, where you just browse to the dll you like to use.
So, if this des not work for you, you overlooked something in VS or you have a serious problem with VS2005

Dear sir,
I have done the assembly registration and gac intallation in two steps, but I am getting error as
* Failure adding assembly to the cache: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. *.
Please tell me what could be the reason, and where I might have done mistake. The steps I did are as below.
No. 1 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\Bin>sn -p D:\Aleem\DSOControl1\DSOControl1.snk

Try this out,
Step 1 : Creating sample component
imports system
namespace BAJComponents
public class Sample
public function GetData() as string
return "hello world"
end function
end class
end namespace
Step 2 : Generate a key file
To generate the key file, issue following command at command prompt
sn -k sample.key
This will generate the key file in the same folder
Step 3 : Sign your component with the key
Now, we will sign the assembly with the key file we just created
vbc sampleGAC.vb /t:library /a.keyfile:sample.key
Step 4 : Host the signed assembly in Global Assembly Cache
We will use AL utility to place the assembly in Global Assembly Cache
AL /i:sampleGAC.dll
After hosting the assembly just go to WINNT\Assembly folder and you will find your assembly listed there.
Let me know if this helps.

Abhijit

Hi All,
I'm migrating a web application from .net 2003 to .net 2005.
I need to know what I have to change manually in each page before I make the conversion because when I use the conversion wizard,many errors are generated.
Thanks so so much

Mainly three things:
1. In the Markup replace "CodeBehind" with "CodeFile" int the Page directive
2. In the code file add the modifier "partial" to the class
3. Remove the control declarations in the code file. For example if you have <asp:Literal ID="Literal1" runat="server" /> in the markup, you don't need code like Literal Literal1 = new Literal() in the cs file.
Also there could be a lot of code-specific changes you might need to do, sometimes just warning messages. To give an example, you should replace Page.RegisterStartupScript with
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript. The best you can do, is examine these errors one be one and possibly resolve them with replace.

Can anyone direct me to some good WPF tutorials that cover a conventional business type UI? Everything I can find concentrates on all the magic new media etc. features, and I just want a good, quick start on using XAML for porting our existing application.
I'm using VS2005 with the extensions.
