Adding .COM Components to Visual Web Developer 2008

Jul 12th, 2008

HI!

i'm currently developing a site using visual web developer 2008. I want to add a component, a .COM component (openh323.ocx). What i did was to create a new tab in the toolbox and right clicked it and chose Choose Items then i clicked on the .COM tab and browsed for the openh323.ocx file... After choosing that file there where now checkboxes with checks...I click ok and the components where added... the only problem is that they are greyed out... i am not able to use them... does anybody know y?

What is note worthy is that i tried doing the same thing but on a C# application... i used Visual C# and i was able to use the components (i was able to drag and drop them to the designer)...

y does it work on windows form applications but on websites it doesnt...?

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ALL THE FEEDBACK
