  Hi all, I'm just beginning to learn about ASP.Net web parts and using them inside SharePoint.

• Visual C# What is equivalent of ocx in .net?

  Hi I would like to know How I can add a winForm to webForm If you are thinking about creating ActiveX controls for Internet Explorer, to be honest i didn't create any such thing in .NET. But i did controls in C++ that can integrate in a web page. But that was several years ago, and it was right to do it with C++ and not with Visual Basic. The conclusion will be the same today also. Then it is because if you do it with C++ your control will be tents of time less weigth then if you create it with Visual Basic. Just because you should put also VB runtime libraries in it, and C++ doesn't need any. If it's possible to do it with .NET, then you have to be sure that every user has .NET Installed. But ther ...Show All
