Hi,

We can make activeX work in WPF by putting WinForms panel inside WPF, and an ActiveX wrapper inside the WinForms panel (it works)

Can we do something same for Silverlight ??
Anyone know how to get an activex object hosted inside a silverlight webpage or desktop application.

WPF is basic a Window based application and it required Framework 3.5 or greater to run on a machine. Whereas Silverlight uses just Runtime Libraries to run on a browser or Sandbox and also it does not have the WindowsHost control or something to host the ActiveX
