hi,
i am currently developing an activex control in c# which should be displayed
on windows ce.net 4.1 internet explorer,
the control works fine when displaying on my desktop, but when it comes to
the compact framework it won't display at all.
the only thing i see is a "broken image" in the website. now my question is
what do i have to do to make it work, is there any kind of registering
procedure i should take into account? any ideas will be appreciated.

thanks a million in advance.

I'm a bit confused. First, the CF has no COM support, but it sounds like
you are trying to host a COM control through PIE, not the CF. This is where
my experience gets hazy, but I can't think of any way that a desktop COM
control that uses the full framework could possibly work on a CE device.
 
COM Interop is not supported by Compact Framework. It
means that the only tool that you can use to develop
ActiveX control to use in IE id eVC++.

hi,

first of all thanks for the quick answers.

the control only uses compact framework capable functions. i have built a
standard exe running this functionality and it runs fine under windows
ce.net. i have also found a product called cfcom by odyssey software and it
enables me to use com / activex objects in ce.net applications, the only
problem i have is that i don't need an executable but bring the pocket ie to
show my control, if you know how to achieve this or have an example even in
evc++ i would appreciate if you could help me more.

CFCOM allows you to use COM from CF. Unfortunaterlly there
is no way the make managed control working in PIE. Even
with the help of eVC++. You'd need to create control from
the scratch in eVC++.
