I don't know if this is the right place for this post.

I am developing a Web Application (e-learning platform) with ASP.NET and C#.
To be SCORM compliant I need to place an object in the DOM of the HTML
document that acts like an "API Adapter". But the entire funtionality of the
application is on the server so I need to put in communicatin the client and
the server without a submission of a form.
I can create an ActiveX object with Javascript but it's the first time for
me that I use this technology. I don't know if it is the thing i need
exactly. For example, what is the difference between an ActiveX and an ISAPI
filter. What element is the best for me in this case?
Then, using Visual Studio I noticed that both these elements are not
projects that I can develop with C# but only with C++. Am I right? Why I
can't use C#?

I hope I was not OT.

Thanks in advance for you help.

Alessio,

I am not too familiar with SCORM, but it seems that what you are trying
to do can not be done with ASP.NET. ASP.NET will handle the rendering of
the page to the client. If you have to embed an object somewhere with the
DOM (how I don't know), then you will have to create that on the client
side. You could create an ActiveX control which would be created on the
client side, but then that would require some settings for each client to be
changed (creating ActiveX instances in javascript is prohibited by the
standard security settings).

The reason you can not use C# is because all of the code is run on the
server, and everything that is run on the client is interpreted code. Can
you give any more information about SCORM compliance?

Hope this helps.
