Hi

Is it possible to serve webpages with WinForm Control ( <object ...> tag )
from other server than IIS? I have to use Tomcat and my control.dll is
downloaded from localhost tomcat server, but doesn't show up. (It works
when downloaded from localhost IIS server)...

Any answer would be appreciated.

Hi, I think when you request a page, web server read and send you it.
I have tried a winform control on apache server and it does.
To load control, is important to have installed framwork and to use
explorer browser

Nope, there was another problem. Dll file must be served as
"application/x-msdownload". Simply needed to add in web.xml:

<mime-mapping>
<extension>dll</extension>
<mime-type>application/x-msdownload</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>

(maybe someone else will find it helpful, too)
