I need to use the WinForms RichTextBox as an ocx in VB6.
Some years ago, there was an automatically wrapper tool (or at least a helper), the Microsoft.InteropFormTools.
Somebody even developed if further for VS2019:
https://github.com/hurcane/Microsoft.InteropFormTools.InteropFormProxyGenerator
I managed to compile it.
It now shows up in VS2019:
But I do not see any template or how to go on:
There is no template.
I have posted this question in the github project, but I am afraid it's dead.
Thank you for any help!

I recently programmed a Windows Form Application on one laptop, however, when I attempt to run the executable on my client's PC it won't open. There are no error messages generated, it just won't open.
The only thing in use that wasn't built into VS2015 was Telerik UI for winforms and the application is a standalone exe.
Any suggestions?
I finally got this sorted a couple of days ago. After a LOT of fiddling about I realised that it was indeed to do with the references. After consulting the Telerik Documentation (as Chris suggested) I realised that, indeed, the dlls were stored in the GAC (something I'd never heard of) and not actually automatically packaged with the software. So I editted the program file options so that they were included and problem solved! Thank You all for your help and sorry the original question was so badly written, I had no idea what data it would have been relevant to include
Hopefully someone can tell me what I am doing wrong here. I have a SharePoint 2010 workflow I am coding in Visual Studio, and I was trying to emulate what is being done here, but as soon as I hit this line:
PdfConverter pdfConverter = new PdfConverter();
My workflow errors out.
I have Phil's book (workflow's in action) which contains an old version of the winnovative dll in one of his code samples, and thinking that might be the issue, I downloaded the newest version from winnovative's site, updated the using line at the top from:
using Winnovative.WnvHtmlConvert;
to simply:
using Winnovative;
as per the developer documentation that came with this newer version, and still no luck. Is there something else I need to do that I'm missing when using this with SharePoint? When utilizing an XSL style sheet for some transforms I had to deploy the xsl to the templates via my project utilizing the sharepoint mapped folder from within Visual Studio. Is something similar required for the winnovative dll to be utilized as well, so that the functions within the dll can be accessed? Do I need to do regsvr32 on the sharepoint server to utilize (something that literally just occurred to me as I'm writing this post), or is adding the reference in visual studio and compiling my code enough? Sorry, not the world's greatest developer, so some insight would be HUGELY appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.
I figured it out. Following the breadcrumbs of my questions, I found out the dll needed to be deployed to the GAC. Once I did that it worked. This has been a big learning experience, but at least now I know. Thanks for looking.
I'm having a number of issues, and the current one is overcoming a security exception when using iTextSharp.

To which I was directed following this question I posted yesterday:
Displaying a bar code with iTextSharp using Chris Love's Barcode Handler (2 part)
Seems to be what is required to overcome my problem. But I have searched and searched and cannot find a definitive and simple answer to the question "How do I compile a DLL"
So, having made the suggested modification to iTextSharp, I need to make it into a single DLL.
I have absolutely no idea how to do this, despite an hour of Googling!
I'm using Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. Which according to my searches does not have any built in capability to do this. So... how do I?!
Do I NEED to download Visual Web Developer Pro? I can surely download the free trial and use that, but going forward, I don't especially want to have to download a pay-for program to do this as it's a rare occurrence for my needs.
Does anyone know if the code editor used by VSTO IDE is available to use in my own projects?
I need to use a code editor in my project. I Googled to try to find one, but I found several third party solutions (pay or free) but they don't fit my needs.
In same way as Webbrowser control, is the "sourcecodeeditor" control of VSTO available to use as a project component?

Exists the class "MSVSTOSourceCodeEditor"? This is the question. Thanks
Unfortunately, no. Microsoft doesn't allow you to subclass its source code editor, nor do they provide a version for use in your own projects. As I mentioned before, they don't really want to encourage you to rewrite Visual Studio. They'd prefer that you bought it instead!
Have you considered creating a plug-in or extension for Visual Studio instead? It's a little bit different way of going about it, but it just might work for you. Your developers might find it more convenient since they won't have to switch back and forth between two programs.
If you're really set on rolling your own custom solution, probably the best thing to do is check the source code for some of the open-source, Visual Studio-style IDEs, and see how they've written the code editor:
MonoDevelop
SharpDevelop
KDevelop
Does VB.NET have anything similar to Java's JDK source code? When I used to work in Eclipse, I could right click and view the generated code, or "look under-the-hood" so to speak. I found this feature very helpful in understanding what was happening behind the scenes, and it helped me to write better, more simplified code.
I have so far been working with Visual Studio 2010's Object Browser, and I have also been looking at the generated designer files, but these often do not drill down far enough.
The best program to do this is called .NET Reflector and you can download it from here: http://www.red-gate.com/products/reflector/
It lets you see executables and DLL's under the hood
ScottGu has an old blog post about this:
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2008/01/16/net-framework-library-source-code-now-available.aspx
You can also use the .NET Reflector to peek into the code for any .NET dll, but keep in mind it won't look like the code in Visual Studio :)
