What are the Alternatives to ActiveX Control RRS feed

  • Question

  •  I want to know the alternatives to ActiveX control as it is only limited to Internet Explorer. Is there any other method by which we can make a browser independent control. I want to embed a control into webpage which is to be executed on the client side(as it should interact with the server via FTP ). I want this functionality to be done by some embedded control in Webpage. I have C# code and I want to create a web based FTP client . And i have no interest of changing the entire code into Java so that applet can be created which is Browser independent.Tell me some other means of doing this at client side or guide me with some reference

  • If you want to use C# code, then basically your only alternative is to write a Silverlight application. This will run in many browsers, but not ALL of them.

    Since you asked in the Training and Certification forum, let me suggest a training course that can prepare you for writing Silverlight: Course 10554:
