VB.NET and DSOFramer

[Guest]

Can anyone point me to any documentation or examples of using the DSOFramer
control, provided by Microsoft for automating inplace activation of Office,
using VB.NET?

Here's what I found. I hope you don't mind C++

The DSOFramer is for including Office inside an Active-X container. To
achieve what you want, you would have to code an Active-X container from
..NET and this would be quite a daunting task.

A better solution would be to use interoperability to include IE into your
..NET application and then, include the DSOFramer into this IE object.
