Hi Im new to web programming. I have experience in VS 2005 using VB.net My problem is that some controls that I used in vb.net for windows applications are not available to the toolbox for web applications. Even if I add them using the option "Choose items"
on the tool box. Controls like listview. Also I cannot find any control for inserting flash(.swf) files. I don't know what to do. Please if anyone could help me I would be very grateful. Thank you
My problem is that some controls that I used in vb.net for windows applications are not available to the toolbox for web applications.
That's because the controls for windows apps and web apps aren't the same. Some simply don't work in the other environment, some have alternative methods. You'll gte used to these after a while, but you might want to pick up a book on web app development
to start with.
There really isn't a control for Flash files as such, and often the simplest method is to edit the HTML in source view directly.
Show your entire page code. This is HTML and should simply be in the HTML portion of your code. As an alternative, there are third party controls you can use to do this. The control gallery here lists a number of them:
Many of these are free controls, and really they're just wrapping the HTML into a control to generate the HTML. Fits better with the idea of the .NET framework, though in my opinion it adds a lot of code to do something really straight forward in HTML.

anas thank you for your reply.
I tried the first link on how to embed a flash in html?
Unfortunately it does not work for asp.net 2.0 is gets me 2 errors when I start debugging it:
Error 1 Validation (XHTML 1.0 Transitional): Empty elements such as 'param' must end with />.
Error 2 Validation (XHTML 1.0 Transitional): Element 'embed' is not supported.
Thanks

I notice there's a new one since the last time I looked, check out:
