We are trying to develop an ActiveX Control for the Pocket PC...

HTML code for installing and calling object:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Test Cab</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <a href="MyObjCab.cab">Install CAB file</a>
        <script language="jscript">
try
{
         var objParser = new ActiveXObject("MyObj.MyClass");
                alert (objParser.MyString);
}
catch (ex)
{
alert("Error message: " + ex.message + "\n\nError
number: " + ex.number);
}
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

The C Source code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace MyObj
{
    [GuidAttribute("D959E687-11FF-4c49-88B6-C64FF7CF5E74")]
    [ComVisible(true)]

    public class MyClass
    {
        private string myString = "Hello World";

        public string MyString
        {
            get { return myString; }
            set { myString = value; }
        }

    }
}

The problem is that after installing (goes well, component visible in
configuration/add remove programs) we get an error:

Error message: Automation server can't create object
Error code: -2146827859

Please help!

Greetings,

Rene

Rene,

Well, .NET doesn't support creating ActiveX controls, so you should be
doing this in an unmanaged language, like VB6 or VC++.
