System.Windows.Forms.Form, or a Web form? Why using COM, if you are already using object-oriented .NET?

System.Windows.Forms.Form
if not use COM then how can i embed any other simple way plz..

The mainstream legitimate way of using native code is not COM at all, it's P/Invoke. COM is used just because there is a lot of it in legacy. VLC is not legacy, it is multiplatform library which originally has nothing to do with COM. Please see my answer.

You did something wrong. It's possible that you did not register ActiveX control. Anyway, I would avoid ActiveX and COM by all means; this is obsolete technology used to bring OOP into non-OOP OS, and .NET if fully object-oriented from the ground; it can use COM, but it's better to avoid it.

Please consider those wrappers:
