Hello,

i created a simple vb.net windows control and want it to run on client machine. In order to use no-touch deployment i created following (simple) html file and copied it along with the dll to a remote web server.

<html>
<body>
<object id="simpleControl1"
classid="http:MyControl.dll#MyControl.UserControl1"
height="300"
width="300">
</object>
</body>
</html>

But this does not work. The browser displays only a big rectangle and the infamous red X. If i try the same on localhost it works fine.
I've read, that there was a bug in .Net framework 1.1 ( so i installed Service Pack 1.
I also added the remote url to the local intranet zone. When i evaluate the dll with the .Net configuration tool, it tells me, the dll had "unrestricted" permissions.
But the dll is not displayed in Internet Explorer (6.0 SP1), and it is also not loaded to the download cache. Do i have to configure the remote web server in any special way?

When i place a .Net-exe in the same directory on the remote host and run it via URL this works.

Any hints, what i have to do to get the control run in my html page?

Thanks in advance
Peter Herweg
