OCX files using VB.NET

[Abaillie]

In VB 6 user controls could be compiled as OCX files. I need to create a VB.NET ocx but it seems to compile it as a DLL.

Can anyone help?

You cannot create ActiveX controls with vb.net. You can create windows forms control libraries, and they will always compile to dll files.

With a lot of work you can get a windows forms control exposed as an ActiveX control, but I dont know of anyone getting one to work property on a VB6 form.
