Embedding windows user control in IE

[Marina]

Hi, I created a simple user control. The object tag in the .aspx is:

<OBJECT id="test" widht="100" height="100"
classid="bin/MyDLLName.dll#MyDLLName.MyControlName" VIEWASTEXT>
</OBJECT>

However, the object doesn't show up. I get a '403' in the IIS log. My
intranet security is set to full trust (i am running this locally).

Any ideas about how this is supposed to work? I'm having trouble finding
documentation for any of this.

Hi Marina,

Not my forte at all, but I recall a lecture at MS which mentioned that the
page must be trusted, not the site and that you need to restart your browser
once you add the new trust to it. Might be going a bit daft there
though..........

That aside, your syntax might be a bit off:

<OBJECT id="test" widht="100" height="100"
classid="HTTP:MyDLLName.dll#MyDLLName.MyControlName" VIEWASTEXT>
</OBJECT>

Notice the HTTP in front of the DLL, also you cant reference the bin
directory directly and the virtual directory you deploy the DLL to must only
have script permissions against it.

Hope that helps.......(of course I could be way off on every corner here as
I never do these)

I believe CLASSID param takes a hexidecimal 16 digit key, with a param name
which points to the path.
<object classid ="clsid:longstringhere">
<param name="path here">
</object>

if you google for object tag you will find more info i am sure

What I posted wasn't actually what I had, it was finding the file, just not
giving access to it.

You did nail it right on the head though, when you said that you can't put
it in the bin directory. All I had to do was move it out of there, adjust
the classid appropritely, and it worked! (or at least it showed up, good
enough for me!).

Thanks so much, I just wish there was more documentation available. It is
either non existant or extremely difficult to find, I searched for hours and
could not find an example or a discussion of this.

Thanks!

I believe that applies to ActiveX control. For .NET controls, it should be
[DLLName]#[Fully qualified class name]

I believe CLASSID param takes a hexidecimal 16 digit key, with a param name
which points to the path.
<object classid ="clsid:longstringhere">
<param name="path here">
</object>

you need to change your iis security (mappings) to allow downloads of a
dll. you should make a seperate download directory, rather than use your
apps bin.

Thanks for the correction. Didn't know which one she meant.
