Re: dotnet activex equivalent?

You can create a .NET control hosted in the browser. Of course you'll need
the .NET framework client side plus the user will have to grant rights to
your code (not sure if 2.0 will automatically ask the user, AFAIK in 1.1 you
have to supply a MSI file to install this policy ?)...

Else you are left with using a regular ActiveX control or a Java applet.

hi,

I would like to create an application that runs in a web browser. It
must have access to the client machine. I guess a bit like the
microsoft update tool at windowsupdate.com

Having never created anything like this, can anyone point me in the
right direction? I am using VB.NET2005

Thanks

Tim
