Hi,
I finally got around to downloading more SDKs and got a regsvrce.exe.
After trying to register the dll I get this error message: x.dll was loaded but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. ....
I've created the dll as a Windows Control Library project with VS 2003.
I tried to solve the problem by following the steps from this url (Packaging an Assembly for COM).
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconpackagingassemblyforcom.asp
After searching with google I couldn't find any solution for dlls programmed with .Net, not sure what to do now.
Help! ;)

Thanks Alex.
I'm not really sure about two things now. Is a Smart Device Cab project a good way to create the CAB file?
Is the .inf example below enough to get the control registered to use it in a website?
I would of course have to replace some names, but I can't see where the lines I added to the generated file (clsid, FileVersion and so on) have gone.
I would still be glad if somebody could send me a pointer to a website which discusses this topic.

Hi,
I've installed the PocketPC 2002 SDK and couldn't find much information about how to make an inf file.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/components/activex/packaging.asp has some information, I'm not sure how to create the cab file for a PPC though.
I've tried to create a .Net 2.0 Smart Device CAB project with the dll. It automatically adds some files then (System.Windows.Forms.dll, System.Xml.dll, System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.dll, Accessibility.dll, System.dll, System.Drawing.dll).
I added some entries from the url above to the CAB-project inf-file then:
[Files.Common1]
"WindowsControlLibrary4.dll","WindowsControlLibrary4.dll",,0
clsid={E3BD4470-A21F-30B7-8043-9D5ADA266EC4}
FileVersion=1.0.2016.18533
RegisterServer=yes
[Files.Common2]
"System.Windows.Forms.dll","System.Windows.Forms.dll",,0
This doesn't work though.
Either I don't get something or this is mostly done with the embedded Toolkit, it can't be that hard. ;)
I suppose I could use regsrvce.exe, it's not installed on the emulator or my PPC though and wouldn't be too convenient when deploying the component later.
bye, felix

Web browser will instantiate a COM component by CLSID or ProgID as usually. I suggest that you create a cab with your activeX component an install it on target device. There are samples in SDK on how to create an .inf file and a cab that registers a component. There is nothing .NET-specific to it
