I need to create a control that I can embed in an aspx page that provides windows form (application) like functionality. It needs to access the serial port and dynamically display some controls and feedback. Now I'm pretty sure if I went back a few years I would just create an activeX control that had a GUI. What I'm trying to figure out is what the equivilent concept is under .NET, and what type of project/library that is considered that would give me this control type functionality with a nice GUI.
I can assume IE7 browser and .NET 2.0 installed on the client machine.
You should dive into Windows User Controls.

Good luck!
There is no "equivalent" but there is a wrapping layer that enables it anyway...

Since you're about to use the serial port it's possible you'll run into some trust issues. There is some discussion about that here:
