Run ActiveX methods on server side in ASP.NET

[blagoye]

Hello,

We have purchased GdPicturePro5 a while ago. I was wondering if it is possible to load gdPicturePro5.ocx file as a library on the server side, and use its functions without embedding it into the web page? I added a reference to gdPicturePro5.ocx to my ASP.NET project and it was imported as Interop.GdPicturePro5, but I cannot generate a new instance of a class GdPicturePro5.Imaging() since it has a private constructor. What are my options?

Thank you for your response

Hello,

Could you clarify what you meant by "since it has a private constructor" ?

Using GdPicture Pro in server side is like using it in any environment that support COM/ActiveX controls. There is no particularity.

Kind regards,

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.
GdPicturePro5.Imaging is an interface not a class, and I don't know how to instantiate a new Imaging class in ASP.NET on the server side i.e. without using web-page ActiveX embedding. Anyway this is my code:

Dim gdpImage As GdPicturePro5.Imaging = New GdPicturePro5.Imaging()

after that line VS reports compiler error: "GdPicturePro5.ImagingClass.Private Sub New()' is not accessible in this context because it is 'Private'".

Hello,

You have to use the cImaging class:

Dim gdpImage As GdPicturePro5.cImaging = New GdPicturePro5.cImaging()

Kind regards,
