Eliyahu,

Thanks for the response. But both window form and browser "see" the
same graphic dlls when it comes to .net GUI, otherwise what's the point
in desiging the GUI of a user control if it ends up totaly different?

I think you are confused about ASP.NET. In WinForms applications, the rendering engine is .NET on Windows. The controls look accordingly. On ASP.NET, however, the rendering engine is the web browser's HTML engine. It's a totally different environment, not even mentioning a different application model. The fact that it's a User control doesn't change it.

That said, there is a possibility to expose WinForms user controls on IE only, and on Windows only, as an ActiveX control. The .NET framework must be installed on the client. Is that what you want?

I wouldn't recommend it, though.

HTH,
Laurent
