C# as IE Control

is it possible to use c# windows controls the same way as
VB Activex Controls in IE pages?

We did something like:
<OBJECT ID="MyControl" NAME="MyControl"
CLASSID="clsid:FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF">
</OBJECT>

i'd rather use windows controls than web controls because
we may also use them inside a windows application, and i
also like the functionality of those controls better

thanks,
JP

You can develop a normal application (using web services for
communication) and make them available as a smart client. This way
they are accessible via a hyperlink, but run as windows forms( Your
application is only available on-line).

In Whidbey the Smart Client approach has been replaced by the improved
ClickOnce technology, with offline scenario's.

I understand the web services part, i think, but could
you point me to something that explains "smart client"?

Thanks,
