I have written a small media player in VB and I have decided to rewrite it
in C# (both in .Net 2003). Meanwhile, I am going to take this opportunity
to write it so it can later be embedded in a browser page and all the
controls like pause, rewind, fast forward etc can be available on the web
page.

How do I go about this? I am fairly new to C#, but I would like to know
what new things I should learn to do to make this work. BTW, if you suggest
that I should do it in VC++ I am also open to that.

Thanx for any input,

To "embed" an object in a web page, it needs to be an ActiveX control.
Creating one of these with 100% managed code will be very difficult.

You can embed a .NET object in a web page, but it comes with caveats,
namely, it will only run in IE, and you have to configure security for the
framework on the client side:

Are Windows Form Controls the same thing as Objects? I am not familiar with
either.

Anil,

What is the context you mean for "Objects"? If you mean the <object>
tag in the page, then no, they are not.

Okay, so I assume I am going to make a Media Player Control and then I can
use it in the page. Is there any tutorial or docs out there that I can read
to do this?

Thanx.
