Problem while embedding ActiveX control in Asp.Net

[AbhishekGoenka]

Hello

I have created an ActiveX control in VB6.0 and trying to embed this ActiveX control in Asp.Net 2.0 through the following command. But I can’t see anything in my aspx page whereas it works fine with html page.

<object id="ctlVBAX"
classid="clsid:B7C88829-7BCF-4AB6-95A5-F63ADBEA151A"
codebase="vbActiveX.CAB#version=1,0,0,0">
</object>

You can download the cab file from following url - http://www.agoenka.info/vbActiveX.CAB

What is the problem?

Thanks
Abhishek

Try something like this

<object id="ctlVBAX" classid="clsid:B7C88829-7BCF-4AB6-95A5-F63ADBEA151A" codebase="file:///C:/Work/vbActiveX.CAB">
                    </object>

Put the name of the folder where you place the activex control in codebase directory.

Hello

I tried the following solution but still it is not working
<object id="ctlVBAX"
classid="clsid:B7C88829-7BCF-4AB6-95A5-F63ADBEA151A"
codebase="vbActiveX.CAB" width="5" height="6">
</object>

Note: "vbActiveX.CAB" is in the same folder.

Thanks

As I said in my previous post, give the full physical or absolute path in codebase property and check it.

Physical Path: Enter the path like file:///D:/yourfoldername/vbActiveX.cab

Abosolute Path: You may enter the url like http://www.agoenka.info/vbActiveX.CAB

Also based on the security settings, you may need to give code access permission to the activex control using Code Access Security Policy Tool (Caspol.exe).
