DBI ActiveX controls can be used in ASP.NET in the same fashion as they are used in HTML or ASP. However, they cannot be used as server-side objects. Rather, the ASP.NET developer will need to script the standard HTML object tag within the ASPX page. Being distributed technology by design, ActiveX controls must be instantiated at the client-side. The developer will be responsible for passing data back and forth between the server and the client systems.
Note that, when the object tag and CodeBase parameter are scripted accordingly, Internet Explorer will manage the distribution and registration of the ActiveX controls on the client system.
All DBI ActiveX components are internet-ready. They are internally marked as "safe for scripting" and "safe for download".
Object Tag Example:
