Using MS Com Object from VS.NET

[bruce barker]

you don't.

the example shows the chart control being hosted by IE and its ado data
binding. because its a windows control, it can not be hosted by asp.net
(server side). you probably can bind to an xml source, by use of client side
ado and loading a recordset from a aspx page that returned the desired xml.

Hi Bruce:

Hmmm... I'm certainly no technical guru but I have some papers that say
I can access COM components by creating Rntime Callable Wrappers - which
is all done for me by VS.NET when I add a reference to a COM library in
my VS.NEt project. I can access adodb objects (like good old fashioned
recordsets) from the adodb.dll in the code behind doing this. I have
even created ChartSpace objects in the code behind page doing this. I
just can't figure out how to get the ChartSpace object to render any
visual output.

Or am I just totally confused??

Terry
