Client-side web control/.NET based Java applets possible?

Is there a way to develop a client-side web control based on the .NET
framework and running in a browser (embedded in a web page)? As far as I
understand ASP.NET web controls are all server-side?

I'm trying to switch from Java to some .NET technology while preserving the
advantages of Java applets. I only found some web pages about Microsoft J#
Browser Controls. However it looks like you can only use them while
migrating from Java but not when creating a brand new client-side web
control. You also seem to be stuck in J#. Is there nothing comparable to
Java applets in .NET?

hi Boris, You can host .net WinForms controls in IE. It'd be just like your
java applet, just know that this will only run in IE. The following article
on msdn might give you a good idea :

or google :
