OLE Container for .NET
activex, c#, ole, webbrowser-control, winforms
Solution
You can use my control OLE Container surrogate for .NET
Problem
I'm working on a project that requires me to load an OLE object and render it in a .NET WinForm app (C#). Unlike VB6 .NET has no built in OLE container, and the recommended approach is to use the WebBrowser control which supports displaying ActiveX content. The issue I have is the provider of the OLE object in question does not have an ActiveX control available. Simply put is there any way to load an OLE object onto a WinForm? Or will I need to write an ActiveX control that loads the OLE Object? If the latter, does anyone have an example of this, or recommended reading material? cheers, Marc.
