Hi,
To use it from IE (and other URLMoniker consumers) you have to
implement your own Pluggable Protocol Handler. You can find a couple of
C++ (VC6) samples how to implement your PPH on my webpage
http://home.online.no/~valery. Tim Tabor also has PPH sample on his
website, which you can check.
Clear .Net solution doesn't quite work, except if you just go interop
way, implement all necessary PPH support+registration and register you
.Net object as COM object. You'll also need to put it into the GAC along
the way, for making it available for any URLMoniker consumer.
Another way of solving it could be to implement un-managed PPH (in C++)
and host CLR from it. It will give you many more available choices than
going other way around. F.e. just think of the providing you own
Evidence, or/and ApplicationBase/PrivateBinPath, ConfigurationFile and
so fourth.
Possibilities with the later solution is quite impressive, like f.e. you
can use CodeDOM to dynamically compile and run embedded
Jscript/CSharp/VB.Net code; use .Net remoting for communicating to .Net
remote objects and/or webservices + many-many more.
And hosting CLR is rather simple and straight-forward task - check
"hosting interfaces.doc" in Tools Developers Guide.

Subject: Re: [DOTNET] custom URL protocol handler
Thanks. I checked out the link, but I'm not seeing how I would use this
to
create my own protocol. For example, I'd like to be able to put in a
URL
"foo://bar" and have a class handle that accordingly. Once I have
something
coded, how do I use it, and can I use it in IE on the local machine?
