  1. Hello,

    this question has probably been asked a million times before but say I bought a third party menu (or any control/component for that matterexcept COM+) control for use in my website. Would it be possible for me to reference it from the discountasp.net hosting side? Where would be the recommended install location (if possible) and how would I 'reference' it?

    Any help on this matter would be very much appreciated. :)

    mark,

    this depends on what type of component is that. in general, if this is a .NET component, all you need to do is to upload the dll into the bin directory.

  3. Bruce,

    What if this is a COM DLL? I am trying to call a VB6 COM DLL from the ASP.NET page I have and it's generating a "COM object with CLSID {.....} is either not valid or not registered" error.

    Are we allowed to execute server side regsvr32 commands on let's say ASP pages? Or do we have to contact the server administrator to accomplish this?

    No. We do not support custom COM component.

    Custom COM is a pain to support because poorly written COM can affect server stability.

    In general, we are trying to avoid adding COM component in favor or .NET component.

  5. Hi Bruce,





    sorry I completely forgot to thank you for your reply. In the end I went with skmmenu from www.skmmenu.com - a handy toolbox control that can be introduced into the bin directory. Supports both text and graphic based menus.
