Hi, I just wonder is there any method for me to write custom plug-in for silverlight (look like Active X which allows me to call client side COM Object)? I search many article that silverlight no support for active x and the weakness of it only run in IE. Please
provide me any suggestion that I can communicate my silverlight program with client COM object.
My existing client program cannot be access using javascripts.That mean i need to write an active x for calling my COM object like normal asp.net do? Silverlight is a plug-in,so can i write my calling COM object method in silverlight plug in?Some article
state that Active X is not support in Silverlight.
Silverlight presently does not support ActiveX. But if you can use asp.net to call your ActiveX and get data. Pass that data from aspx to silverlight using javascript as a bridge.

If your COM object can understand Javascript .. you can communicate using javascript with other activeX.
