Thank you very much.

Then I will go with the traditional way of implementation i.e. through VB Script.

As I said earlier, an OCX is typically used by a client app and not server code. Your best bet is to get support from the developer of the OCX to see what is needed to run this from server code. There's not much more we can do to help you here as you're using something in a way it wasn't designed for ...

This is really very informative. I do not having any Idea about this. Thanks.

I tryed this but it is still not working.

Because In OCX control the code is written such that, data is fetched from the Current User registery.

I think then I need to change the code in OCX control also, i.e. to read HKEY\.Default right?

Or is there any another solution?

In a server environment there is no "CURRENT USER" so IIS can't find that key. You might want to try this technique ...

I am reading registry key from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TRG

TRG is the application name an its registry settings.

But, When I run Application from visual studio it populate and call all methodes/properties of control as expected, But when I tries to do same after deploying on local IIS, the OCX control is not gets populated and does't giving any error on page / in event logger.

No. Anything blocking that would be permissions related. What registry key(s) are you reading?

Also, FWIW, an OCX is typically a client object and not a server object.

I tried it but my application is not reading registry.

Is there any settings on IIS to allow application to read system registery?

As Jeff said ...

jeff@zina.com:
Does the account accessing the registry have permission to the registry? Most likely the ASP.NET process account needs access, but that's dependent on how you set it up.

I have deployed the application on local IIS and with administrative previlages.

But the case happens that;

I have created .dll file for the old OCX control and having reference added in the web application. When I call, objAxtsARC.CreateControl(); this objAxtsARC object get populated from the system registery. Then by using above code I am calling all the properties and methodes of this control.

When I run Application from visual studio it call all methodes of control as expected, But when I tries to do same after deploying on local IIS, the OCX control is not gets populated and does't giving any error on page / in event logger.

Is there any requirement to load this control on IIS to use it from the IIS?

Is there any setting on IIS to make OCX control to read system registery?

OXC control is not working on IIS but works on Visual Webdeveloper webserver

My code contains OXC control which populate itself from registry. This OXC is runing on STA thread. While I am running this application from Visual studio it runs as expected. But when I am trying to run the application after deploying it on IIS it is not working. The OXC control is populated with all values as empty.

Could you please check with this issue.

The code sniffet is as bellow;

protected void btnViewOfferSCR9NXFer_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Thread tNITransfer = new Thread(new ThreadStart(NITransferCall)); tNITransfer.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA); tNITransfer.Start();

}

private void NITransferCall()

{

AxtsARC objAxtsARC;

objAxtsARC = new AxtsARC();

objAxtsARC.CreateControl();

objAxtsARC.XferToCampaign(12, true, 0, true);

}

The OCX object is populating but all of its default values.

It is not reading registery of the server.
