Today I've been doing some "digging" to get the requiremnts i needs for this develop and i found some sad truth in the process:
Last time i coded ocx file was while back in the 1998. Back then, i had Visual Basic 6 installed on my pc (windows 95 or 98 as OS), and that program provided me with "ocx control" project type.
Today, 11 years later, i'm using "Windows 7" (or vista for that matter), currently using Visual Studio .NET 2008. I've "digged" the app inside-out & later on googled for about 2 hours to be sure, but sadly it seems microsoft removed option to create ocx

At best i can create dll (on WinForms) & register it for InterOp. True, that's would provide "some" solution (I've seen ways to load ActiveX.dll) but that's supported in IIS only i think, not sure about linux.

Therefore, after consideration of developing options available to me, i've decided i shall construct this modification using Microsoft Silverlight technology (which is cross-platform supported). That would allow me similar dynamic coding interface for creating such functionality.

I must note however i dont have any prior experience, yet, in Silverlight coding. This project will make this my project using this technology. As result, this development will take bit longer than i expected.
