    copied!<p><strong>Edit2:</strong> For users that are having the same problem, I have managed to solve it using <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/C__Deployment.aspx?msg=3244347" rel="nofollow">this page</a>. Good luck!</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> Apperently my problem is that I need to install the ActiveX component on the client computer. What is the right way to do this?</p> <p>I wrote a small ActiveX component in C# which searches for removable drives like USB flash drives. I have followed the steps <a href="http://dotnetslackers.com/articles/csharp/WritingAnActiveXControlInCSharp.aspx" rel="nofollow">here</a>, in short I wrote some code and did: <code>regasm AClass.dll /tlb /codebase</code></p> <p>I wrote the ActiveX component because it needs to get executed on an external server. So I made a small webpage which uses the ActiveX. When I use a localhost the code gets executed and my USB key gets detected. It even works from inside an ASP.NET page which is the final goal.</p> <p>However, when accessing the page from an external server, the code doesn't get executed. I placed javascript alerts before and after loading the ActiveX component. The alert after loading the ActiveX doesn't even fire.</p> <p>The webpage uses this code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;script language="javascript"&gt; alert("Loading ActiveX"); var x = new ActiveXObject("ANamespace.AClass"); alert(x.GetDrives()); alert("Done"); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt;&lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>I can post the C# ActiveX code although I think it isn't needed, it just tries to find removable diskdrives, and it did work fine on my localhost.</p> <p>Note, this is actually my first time working with ActiveX. Thanks in advance!</p>
