  Been having fun with trying to embed a windows forms control into an aspx page. I know it works, I've done countless tests of the scenario, I'm just having a problem with the real things now. The kicker is, when I run the application from the web, by typing in my machines IP address instead of localhost, it works without a problem. It finds the dll referenced in the object tag, loads it up and executes it with a problem. However, when I try to e ...Show All

In Order to handle all of the filetypes I thought it was going to be easier to set the web confing to verb="*" path="*" and then write a custom HandlerFactory to pass the request to the custom handler or create an instance of the default handler... The Custom handler works ...Show All

This all works as expected. The problem is that when I click on my control for the first time, the selection changes to the DesignSurface control. Why If I click on the cont ...Show All
