Web Controls

  • Article

One way to create ink-enabled Web applications is to put Windows Forms controls inside a webpage within Microsoft Internet Explorer. The basic steps in the tutorial are:

  1. Create a control that inherits from System.Windows.Forms.UserControl.
  2. Create an HTML page with an object tag that refers to that UserControl.
  3. Create a virtual directory and set permissions.
  4. Load the URL of the HTML page into the browser.

This technique can be applied to ink-enabled controls, just like any other Windows Forms Control. In fact, the technique can be used with any class in the Microsoft .NET Framework. The samples provided by the Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition Software Development Kit (SDK) include a Web control version of the Auto Claims sample in the Ink Web Samples section. This example takes the original Auto Claims Form Sample and turns it into a control that is put on a Web page. For more information about Web-enabling this sample, see the Ink Web Control Sample.

Note

When you deploy an application created by using .NET over the Web, the application may be affected by security model for .NET. For more information about how security works with ink-enabled Web applications, see Security and Trust.
