posted August 2, 2006 12:54 PM You have to go through some extra steps to get non-visual, non-web components onto a WebForm: 1) Open the Form in the designer view 2) Right click on the Form 3) Select "View Component Designer" You should be able to find the Telnet control and put it in the designer. |

posted August 2, 2006 1:40 PM Tony, Thanks for the quick response. The component designer asks that the control be pulled from the toolbox, my problem is that I can't get the tool put into the toolbox.... tks again, al |

posted August 2, 2006 4:43 PM Hi, Are you saying you do not know how, or that you see a problem when you try? If the former, just right-click on the Toolbox and select "Choose Items." If the latter, what happens? Is there an error? Thanks, -ken |

posted August 3, 2006 8:11 AM No, I know how to use the tool (have for quite a while). I use it with vs2005 in a winform app. I was just trying to embed it in an asp.net app. I have the tool in the toolbox (vs2005-component) and tested. I then close the winform solution and create a new asp.net website and attempt to put the tool into the default page. It's not in the displayed tabs in the toolbox. I then do what Tony suggested with the component designer and the tool is no longer displayed in the component tab. I attempt to again put the tool into the toolbox, the screen does a little 'flicker', no error, and the tool still does not show up. Go figure. tks, al |

posted August 3, 2006 9:39 AM OK, I see what's going on now. We were thinking that you were using the .NET component, not the ActiveX one. For some reason, Microsoft makes you jump through a bunch of hoops to use ActiveX controls (not just ours incidently) in WebForms. The following posting should get you through the process: http://support.dart.com/postings?topicid=2647 Pay particular attention to the part that says 'IMPORTANT' Hope this works for you! |

posted August 4, 2006 8:46 AM well the response left me a little confused. I don't believe it is a licensing problem since this is the development image and as I mentioned early on the tool does work in another application. I ended up doings some testing over the last day+ (three virtual image systems, two development platforms, two different office systems) and have come to the conclusion that the failure is in the vs2005 controls toolbox. It also fails with MS Visio. Testing shows that if you migrate a vs2003 app to vs2005 it carries the controls with it. If you try to create a new app the toolbox doesn't want to let you load the control. This was tested as both a webform and winform. al |

posted August 4, 2006 9:28 AM What you are saying is entirely correct. I was simply supplying you with the steps needed to do it from scratch in 2005. As you said, you could always create a 2003 project first, then convert it to 2005. You also have the option of dropping ActiveX and switching to the .NET version (Telnet for .NET) |

posted August 4, 2006 12:10 PM I guess we'll do option two since the activex hasn't been updated in two years. al |

posted August 4, 2006 12:44 PM Do you want me to have someone contact you? Or are you just going to get it off of our site? |
