Converting existing OCX (written in C++) to a .NET DLL

[Electric Light Orchestra]

Hi,

I have an existing C++ OCX add-on which is part of a large system, and should be used inside "magic software" IDE.

"Magic Software" dropped compatibility for ActiveX controls, and now offer support only for:
-Magic xpa
-.NET
-WCF
-JAVA
-Apache Axis2


What do I need to do in order to convert my ActiveX to a .NET DLL?

Is there a way to auto convert the OCX itself or maybe there is some .NET "container" that can be loaded and then load it?

If not, do I need to write the OCX from scratch? if so, can I use the existing code base?


Thank you
