Where is activex.NET?

[Steve]

Hi,

Is it possible to compile a C# class and embed it into a asp.net page
like an activex control?

When the client access the page, the embedded and compiled class will
be downloaded by ie, and the client-site script can access the methods
of that downloaded class.

Ofcourse the client should have the .net framework and I am sure there
will be lots of restriction/trouble with permissions and security
settings but what is the future of activex with .NET framework?

Thanks
Steve

Yes, this can be done using Windows Forms controls.
Here's the information you need:

ActiveX controls for the web are on thier way out because the security
settings just aren't flexible enough.
