Answer 1

You need to find the dlls/exe file for the ActiveX control. Then just create the activeX control on the web page using the classId of that control. As long as the ActiveX control isn't dependant on the VB6 libraries, you'll be in good shape.

Answer 2

If you are programming in VB 6, first of all you create package. Then go to the Package Created Folder and open Support folder, Copy the Dll and Ocx file(s) and past in .\windows\system32\
Folder and register these files with

RegSvr32 Filename.Dll or RegSvr32 Filename.Ocx

And please note that vb6 Dll/Ocx can not use in another Language.
But if u want than create VB .Net Dll/Ocx and call vb6 Dll/Ocx and wrapper-up it and
Build project. Now you can use it in all .Net.
