How do you create an ActiveX control using Visual Studio .NET? I have
successfully created a Windows Control Library project but that only creates
a .dll and when I register it (using regasm) it doesn't show up in my
references and when I try to add it to the toolbox I get "It was not
recognized as a COM server."

Thanks!!

You can not create OCX controls in .NET.

Hi,

No. If you want an OCX, you must use VB5/6 (or Visual Studio earlier and
C++ or the equivalent in other languages).
