Is there such a thing as a purely client-side .NET control akin to
ActiveX controls or Applets?  My boss wants to know, so I'm
asking...please don't shoot me.

Thanks.

What about building your client component/control in .NET and after
that making a COM wrapper to it. You can now make an ActiveX using this
COM. Its all about wrapping. I'm not 100% sure about this but I've made
something similar: database connection class in .NET --> COM Wrapper
--> use the COM in asp pages (vbscript).

Yes but you'll need of course .NET client side (don't know about possible
browser requirements).

Basically this is just a Windows Forms UserControl. The object tag points to
the DLL (very similar to ActiveX except it's .NET based). An EXE file can
also be lauched directly.

But if the control MUST be in .NET, how do you run it without .NET?

One more thing.....

There is a open source implementation of the .NET platform named mono.
Runs on UNIX like OS and in win32 too. In unix you have the possibility
to compile managed code (c# 100%, don't know if other languages are
supported) in a native form. You don't need the platform after that.

Thank you, Patrice & Shiretu.
