I'm new to .Net technology and hopefully my question doesn't sound stupid. :)

I have a VB6 Activex Exe project/component which is being run by scheduler app.

I want to upgrade it to .Net(VB or C#) so I can continue to run it in the same manner.

My question is, what project type do I select when I create a new project?

Any links you could share for this particular subject?

Thanks a lot.

 
You need to start with Windows Control Library Project type
from VS.NET to create controls for Windows and Web
Control Library to build controls for ASP.NET pages.

You can get some initial help from the following links, still you can have a look at MSDN too.
Writing an ActiveX Control in .NET
VB.NET and ActiveX Controls
Embedded Windows User Controls into Internet Explorer

Sharing the best from my side...

Thanks Prashant, but links you provided, they create a GUI Activex control. I need to simulate VB6 Activex exe, which is GUI-less COM object.
