Which version of VB? Hosting Windows Forms controls on VB6 or earlier
forms isn't supported.

If you intend to use them in VB6, you'll probably need to expose them as COM
components.

Also, all clients (that use this COM component) must have .Net Runtime
installed on them.

Specifically regarding SWF controls, I think that they can be hosted within
COM... they are all ComVisible but without any Guid.

As Mattias said, this scenario is not supported and buggy (use it at your
own risc). The only host that supports .NET control hosting is IE6 and
higher.
