I need to use my C# UsereControl in a VB6 application.
My first step was to build a new WindowsControlLibrary project and add
the usercontrol to it.
It compiled, a DLL was built, and by setting the "Register for COM
Interop" to TRUE a .tlb file was also built.

But to use it in a VB6 application as a Component (not just COM DLL)
there must be an OCX file !!!
Is there any work-around?
I have read that there is no support for creating ActiveX any more.

You cannot create OCX controls that can be hosted on anything other than IE
using the .NET framework, sorry.
