Create Activex Dll In Visual Studio 2005

Next, we'll reference this COM component from a Windows Forms application. Start Visual Studio 2005, and create a new Visual Basic WindowsApplication project named "RegFreeComDemo1". You can also use C# or J# if you prefer, since the code will be trivial and easily adaptable to the language of choice. Select the Project menu, choose the Add Reference command, and browse to the VB6Hello.dll component produced from the code. Add a button to the form named "Say Hello", double-click on it to go to the code window, and add the following code:

create activex dll in visual studio 2005

Start Visual Studio 2005 and create another new Visual Basic WindowsApplication project named "RegFreeComDemo2". Next you'll add the VB6ControlTest component to your project, but since this is an ActiveX control, you need to add it through the Toolbox. Click on the View menu and select Toolbox. Right-click the General tab and select the Choose Items command. From the Choose Toolbox Items dialog, click the COM tab and browse to VB6ControlTest.ocx. Drag the VB6ControlTest.UserControl1 control to your form and resize it so that the entire tab control is visible. When you've completed all of this, you should have something that looks like Figure 6.

Visual Studio 2005 supports references to native assemblies from Visual Basic .NET or C#. A native reference is created when a reference's File Type property is set to Native in the Properties window. To add a native reference, select Project Add Reference, then click the Browse tab and navigate to the location of the manifest. Some components place the manifest inside the DLL. In this case, you can simply choose the DLL itself and Visual Studio will add it as a native reference if it detects that the component contains an embedded manifest.

You use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, and you create an ActiveX control in an application. You call the AtlIPersistPropertyBag_Load function from the ATLCOM.h file. When you run the control, an "Access Violation" exception may occur. Additionally, the application crashes.
